On April 13, the Center for Luxury and Creation unveiled the 43 nominees for the 2026 Luxury Talents<\/b>, an awards ceremony designed as the highlight of the Luxury and Creation Summit<\/b>, scheduled for June 23<\/b>.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since 2002<\/b>, the Center for Luxury and Creation has annually honored nine fundamental values that shape the daily lives of luxury creators and entrepreneurs<\/b>, namely: audacity, well-being, elegance, harmony, innovation, invention, seduction, rarity, and originality. To this is added a tenth value, which is central to the success of any business and particularly to the pursuit of excellence: management.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This new edition will thus conclude a Luxury Summit<\/b> whose theme will be \u201cUnderstanding What Makes Luxury Valuable Today: The Invisible That Matters\u201d<\/b>. This concept of value creation will be explored in three parts: the art of selling in the luxury sector: creating value beyond price; when luxury transcends the product: its societal and cultural role; between tradition and disruption: building the value of tomorrow\u2019s luxury.<\/p>\n
