Beyond the Legacy Houses

While legacy luxury houses face double-digit declines and widespread brand fatigue, a new generation of players is rewriting the rules. This report identifies and analyses 23 brands growing consistently above the industry average, many outpacing traditional houses by a factor of 3x to 10x. From Miu Miu's 84% peak-quarter growth to The Row's $1 billion valuation, the report maps the structural conditions behind the rise of emerging luxury and the implications for the broader definition of brand authority.
