One thing for certain that we can all agree on, is that showing off “luxurious spending” is now considered overrated. This movement introduces the world to meet the new elite, a consumption for wealthy habits building luxury cultural capital.
While everyone else is thinking of quiet luxury becoming the next big thing in the luxury industry, as the need to conceal big spending among the super-rich trends.
“When wearing a logoless t-shirt that costs thousands of dollars, well that’s actually not so quiet luxury at all and is the total opposite.”
Inner circles of the new elite are identified among a knowledge-based etiquette system. Where building cultural capital entry grants access to a high-society social class. The concept of luxury has evolved over the years, and it is no longer defined by simply flaunting expensive designer labels or material possessions. The new elite, a group of highly-educated and well-informed individuals, have redefined the meaning of luxury. They focus on building cultural capital by practicing wealthy habits and incorporating them into their lifestyle.
Requiring more than designer labels and having access to money doesn’t guarantee acceptance.
The satisfaction comes with receiving a letter of approval, notification of acceptance by the most prestigious private schools where children have been granted admission, or a country club invitation by letter of recommendation from a distinguished member.
“All hidden golden rules of success standards to be accepted among the new elite and becoming a rite of passage that having just money can no longer buy.”
Call it the era of TikTok transformation, where ordinary people not wealthy learned the secrets of obtaining an American Express Platinum, also considered to be the pinnacle of charge cards. Having purchasing buying power with no preset spending limit.
When consulting with luxury brands on reaching the new elite, my first purpose is to explain how they must identify their ideal target audience.
According to a report by McKinsey & Company, Gen Z (born between 1995-2010) is the fastest-growing consumer generation globally and is expected to account for 40% of all consumers by 2020. They are also projected to be the largest group of luxury consumers in the next decade.
Furthermore, Gen Z is highly tech-savvy, with almost all of them using smartphones and the internet daily. They also seek out brands that align with their values and beliefs.
A study by The Luxury Institute found that 70% of Gen Z consumers value exclusivity, uniqueness, and personalized experiences. They also prefer to shop online and expect a seamless omnichannel experience.
Luxury brands must adapt their marketing strategies to attract Gen Z consumers by embracing digital platforms, offering personalized experiences, and promoting inclusivity and sustainability. Failure to do so will result in losing out on a significant portion of the luxury market.
Wealthy Habits
At MC, we have adopted key identifying factors for targeting the new elite.
First off, the new elite doesn’t necessarily mean that they are “new money” luxury consumers.
The ideology of the new elite ascends from their distinct wealthy habits when it comes to luxury lifestyle living.
She Female
She is female and not a He, she does also identify as She and not pronouns. Typically between the ages of 34 to 54 years old, deemed highly educated and well knowledgable on niche subject matters, in control of a high disposable income, and living in a popular in-demand urban location.
Her desire for wealthy habits is a profile of the luxury lifestyle she represents and this allows her to build luxury cultural capital. Creating a networking net worth that distinguishes her to stand out in the crowd.
“She is the individual on a phone call to Oprah, whose call would be immediately accepted and not returned.”
It’s important to reference that she might also be in control over the influence of another person’s wealth. Having the ability to influence the wealthy habits of others as well as their luxury spending. Establishing relationships that expand the building of luxury cultural capital for all parties among the new elite.
