On 20 October, a few days after Fashion Week and on the eve of Paris art week, Luxsure presented its new printed edition in the showroom of the House of Emmanuel Ungaro.
There are evenings when one comes looking for something to take away. On 20 October, at Emmanuel Ungaro, everyone left with a copy under their arm. Two hundred and twenty-eight pages, A4 format, five thousand copies: an object that has weight in the hand, and that is not consulted with a thumb.
The showroom lent itself to the gesture. The House was presenting its Spring-Summer 2027 collection, unveiled a few days earlier on the runways, and the silhouettes kept company with the piles of magazines. A runway garment is worn seasons after its first outing; a printed issue is reopened months after its publication. Both make the same wager against the calendar.
That is precisely the wager of this edition. Luxsure is eighteen years old, was born digital, and claims more than 40,000 published articles, 120,000 unique visitors a month and readership in ten languages, from French to Japanese. Paper is not new there — the archives keep the trace of earlier issues — but it changes status. Thomas Mondo joins the magazine as Creative Director and Co-Editor-in-Chief; BEL-AMI signs its editorial philosophy, art direction and layout. A motto accompanies them: In Luxus Veritas.
Between two coupes, conversations kept returning to this formula. Thomas Mondo gives the key: the word luxury, by dint of being used indiscriminately, has lost some of its mystique, and the task is to rediscover what makes it. Pascal Iakovou, founder and publication director, says the same thing from another angle — luxury as a discipline, not as a status. The discipline of choosing, of refusing, of slowing down where everything pushes to accelerate.
Those who leafed through the issue that evening found nine universes, from beauty to travel, each opened by DATALUXSE, which places industry figures back in context. Then the reportages: the Louis Vuitton Fabrique du Temps, the Henry Jacques laboratory, the Steinway & Sons workshops, GRAFF, the Montblanc Haus. And the interviews — Stéphane Rolland on sculptural couture, Eva Green and Hadrien Wolff on Seiun, the sake they brought into being.
This evening would not have taken place without our partners Campari, Aperol and Champagne Canard-Duchêne, whom we thank. Our gratitude also goes to Emmanuel Ungaro, who opened the doors of his showroom to us.
Guests were also able to discover Vénus Vodka, a French brand, during a tasting organised over the course of the evening.
The site sets the daily rhythm; the magazine gives duration. The rest comes down to one gesture: turning the page.
