Background

According to The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion, sumptuary laws are those that “restrict the the ownership and use of luxury goods to certain social and/or economic classes.” I thought that this was an appropriately ironic title for a fashion blog, a platform that is perhaps the best example of how technology has democratized almost all aspects of luxury.

Each blog faces the struggle of finding its own unique voice amongst a sea others. My own perspective: to explore the world of fashion and the often unseen elements, people, and organizations that make it work commercially and conceptually.

Thanks for joining.
