The Future of Luxury: A Frequency, Not a Price Point - Part II
Uranus in Gemini and the Language of Reimagination
And if Pluto in Aquarius is revolutionizing structure, then another major transit — Uranus in Gemini — is transforming communication.
It began its first ingress earlier this summer, on July 7th. Uranus in Gemini is rewiring how we think, speak, and connect. It’s taken 84 years — eight decades — for Uranus to move into this constellation, so it’s not a small thing.
Uranus is the planet of disruption, sudden awakenings, and quick change. Gemini rules communication, language, and media — it’s mercurial. If you have Gemini friends, you know how chatty they can be — and I have Gemini placements, so I talk a lot too.
Together, these energies — Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius — are challenging us to think differently, to question what we once took for granted.
This energy asks: Who gets to define luxury or beauty?
Who decides how we ascribe value?
What does craftsmanship really mean — and why do we equate aspiration with separation?
These are the conversations that aren’t happening in global luxury circles — in spaces like the Vogue Business Summit in Lake Como this past May.
The conversations that were had there were incredibly one-dimensional and revealed how urgently the industry is trying to find what’s next, but how ill-equipped it still is to do so — because it doesn’t understand the larger energetic frameworks at play.
The next evolution of luxury won’t come from trend reports or market analytics or influencer marketing.
It will come from frequency.
We are entering the age of meta-luxury — a self-aware, purpose-driven form of luxury that celebrates diversity, humanity, and craftsmanship as sacred acts.
Designers like Pierpaolo Piccioli — formerly at Valentino and now Creative Director at Balenciaga — Jerry Lorenzo of Fear of God, and Aurora James of Brother Vellies, embody this shift.
Their work reminds us that the truest form of luxury is not about exclusivity, but self-expression at its highest vibration.
Meta-Luxury and the Conscious Creator
Meta-luxury honors the artisan as much as the audience.
It is craftsmanship as consciousness — the alchemy that bridges human intention and the inanimate, breathing spirit into matter.
Luxury becomes meta — meaning self-aware — when we become self-aware.
When we understand its place in the economy, the ecosystem of humanity, and our communities at large.
When we recognize that beauty is only complete when it uplifts, when it supports, when it restores.
This is where my unscripted series Black Fashion Files lives — in that space between heritage and horizon, where excellence is defined not by status, but by soul.
From Materialism to Frequency
Luxury is shifting from performance to presence — from aesthetic to energetic.
It’s no longer about how something looks, but how it feels, and even deeper — how it makes you feel about yourself and the world around you.
We’ve seen what happens when aesthetics are divorced from ethics — when beauty is built on harm.
As revealed in the recent investigation at Loro Piana, which uncovered significant labor exploitation in its supply chain.
And I’m not here to criticize — but I am here to say: How can something feel luxurious when its making violates the very essence of dignity?
Luxury that ignores humanity is not luxury.
It’s artifice.
A Deeper Awareness
Beyond that critique, though, this conversation invites a deeper awareness — one that I’ve come to through both experience and curiosity.
Having studied fashion design, I’m struck by how absent this conversation was from everything I was taught.
We learned about textiles, construction, and drape — but not about energy. Not about frequency.
Every material carries a vibration. Every fiber, every thread has a measurable frequency that interacts with the body’s own field.
For example, natural fibers like wool, silk, linen, and organic cotton have been measured in the range of around 70 to 100 Hz — which is close to the human body’s own frequency when it’s healthy, typically around 62 to 78 Hz.
These materials support coherence — they help the body regulate, calm, and align.
By contrast, synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic often register closer to 10 to 15 Hz — much lower frequencies that can feel dense, draining, or energetically “off.”
Because they’re petroleum-based, and while they can look luxurious, they don’t resonate with the body in the same way.
This difference isn’t about consumer preference — it’s about industry responsibility.
Luxury brands have long positioned themselves as guardians of quality and craftsmanship, yet many have quietly traded natural fibers for cheaper synthetics under the guise of “innovation” or “sustainability.”
It’s a contradiction that exposes how far the industry has drifted from its original purpose — to elevate, not exploit.
If luxury is meant to be aspirational, then what exactly are we aspiring to?
Because true aspiration isn’t about replication — it’s about resonance. It’s about creating beauty that sustains life, not siphons it.
To continue marketing polyester and plastic blends as the pinnacle of craftsmanship is not innovation — it’s amnesia.
It forgets that the body feels everything — that we are energetic beings in physical form.
What we wear, sit on, and sleep in either harmonizes or agitates that field.
If fashion is to evolve — if luxury is to mean anything at all in this new age — it must return to integrity at every level: from the soil that grows the fiber, to the artisan who shapes it, to the people who sew it, to the person who wears it.
Because at its core, luxury should restore.
Otherwise, you don’t get to charge a premium for it.
The Future of Luxury
Luxury is not about what you own — or even what I own.
It’s about what we embody.
It’s not an extra; it’s our birthright — a baseline frequency of harmony, coherence, and care.
The future of luxury is not a status symbol — it’s a state of being.
A vibration of purpose, beauty, and alignment made tangible through design.
And personally, it feels really inspiring to be alive at a time when we are collectively reimagining what luxury — and life built on conscious creativity — can truly mean.
I see and feel the way creativity, consciousness, and community are merging to form a new blueprint.
And I’m excited and curious about the way ahead.
