Top 100 Luxury Trends in 2013

From Billionaire Bathroom Tissue to Golden Phones

— January 3, 2014 — Luxury
Luxury trends are ever-evolving and Trend Hunter's Luxury Trend Report will keep you on the bleeding edge of what high-earning consumers are interested in. With over 90 pages of material, this report covers the latest luxe products and experiences.

In terms of individual ideas in the category of luxury, there are many captivating examples that have intrigued consumers this year. The allure of gold is still as strong as ever, as we've seen everything from bathroom tissue to cars and phones dipped, plated and painted in gold.

Many high-end fashion labels on the other hand, have had a different idea of how luxury should be symbolized, opting for a more refined, muted and minimalist approach to clothing.
