How Luxury Is Changing for the Next Generation: The New Status Symbols

Luxury has to change.

Because the context has.


Craftsmanship, heritage, and service still matter.

But today’s consumer expects something deeper: connection, personalization, and digital immersion.


Sandra Helou, CEO & Co-Founder of MetaMinds Group, believes this shift defines the future of luxury.

Through VersAI, she’s proving that emotion and technology now shape what “exclusive” really means.

In this episode, we unpack:


• How emotional connection became the new status symbol

• Why “a great product” is no longer enough - even for luxury brands

• Why community is now a brand’s strongest asset

• How mid-tier brands like Coach and Alo Yoga are redefining luxury through experimentation

• The rise of immersive commerce - from static grids to digital worlds

• The difference between slow heritage brands and agile, aspirational ones

High Heels – Reinvented with AI and Health Tech

Can high heels be good for your health?


Pietro Allegretti believes they can if you redesign them with cutting-edge tech.

Metaverse Fashion Week Curator on Virtual Worlds, Gaming & the Future of Fashion

Is the “old metaverse” dead?


Dr. Giovanna Graziosi Casimiro explains why the term may have faded, but the movement is only just getting up to speed.


➝ The term “metaverse” was overhyped in 2021–22.

➝ But platforms and Web3 projects are alive and thriving – Roblox alone has ~250M monthly users.


◼︎ The meaning has shifted: today, we talk about social gaming and virtual worlds.


Flashy avatars are just the surface.

The real essence is in communities, identity, ownership, and the ways for brands to build cultural value and legacy in new ways.


In this video, you’ll learn about:

• How Giovanna led Metaverse Fashion Week, what worked (and what didn’t)

• How film studios and fashion houses are using platforms, and why some brands like Fenty set a blueprint for phygital commerce and community co-creation
