À propos de ce contenu audio

 What makes something worth more than the sum of its parts? Why do certain brands command belief whilst others struggle for attention? What does 'luxury' even mean? What qualifies? Investigating the minds, mechanics and mythologies of modern luxury, What The Luxe is a series of conversations with the founders, directors and creatives behind modern marques. Together, we unpack the psychology of value, the business of brand, and the spirit that drives today's best-in-class. Expect founding stories, bold positioning calls, and the messy truths behind polished brands. Because whether it's craft, commerce, psychology or lore—all roads lead to value. A weekly podcast from Matter Of Form. Hosted by Anant Sharma & Fred Moore.2022 Art Economie Marketing et ventes

    • 71. From MTV to Mexico City: Building London's Best Restaurants with Crispin Somerville, Managing Director of El Pastor, Quo Vadis, & The Drop

      71. From MTV to Mexico City: Building London's Best Restaurants with Crispin Somerville, Managing Director of El Pastor, Quo Vadis, & The Drop
      Jan 26 2026

      In this episode of What The Luxe, host Fred Moore speaks with Crispin Somerville, Managing Director of El Pastor, Quo Vadis & The Drop, about a journey that spans MTV, music and television, Mexico City nightlife, and ultimately some of London's most culturally significant restaurants.

      Crispin reflects on how time spent immersed in Mexico's food and hospitality culture reshaped his understanding of generosity, conviviality and transportive experience — lessons that continue to inform how he builds restaurants today. Together they explore why authenticity is a slippery concept, why great hospitality resists formula, and how restaurants succeed when they prioritise atmosphere, trust and human connection over scale.

      The conversation also touches on independence, regeneration, talent and why neighbourhoods like Soho and King's Cross thrive when restaurants are treated as cultural anchors rather than footfall machines.

      A thoughtful look at hospitality as a social act — and why the places we gather still matter.

    • 70. Experience as Wellness with Ramy Elnagar, Founder of White Mirror

      70. Experience as Wellness with Ramy Elnagar, Founder of White Mirror
      Jan 20 2026
      What if wellness wasn't something we added on — but something we designed into experience itself?
      In this episode of What The Luxe, Anant Sharma is joined by Ramy Elnagar, Founder of White Mirror, to explore how technology, design and the built environment can actively shape how we feel, behave and flourish.
      Ramy's work sits at the intersection of sensory design, emerging technology and human psychology, challenging the idea that wellness is about optimisation, biohacking or indulgence. Instead, he argues for intentional experiences — spaces that teach us how to sleep better, listen more deeply, regulate our nervous systems and reconnect with nature, ritual and meaning.
      Together they discuss the tension between innovation and restraint, why the word "wellness" may no longer be enough, and how experiences — when designed with empathy — can become powerful tools for human flourishing.
      A thoughtful conversation about attention, intention and why the most advanced environments often feel the most human.

    • 69. What Luxury Should Learn From Popular Culture with Maz Farelly

      69. What Luxury Should Learn From Popular Culture with Maz Farelly
      Jan 12 2026

      In this episode of What The Luxe, Anant Sharma sits down with Maz Farrelly, the former television executive behind some of the most-watched formats in the world, to unpack what luxury brands can learn from the mechanics of mass entertainment.

      From producing global television hits to advising leaders and brands today via MazSpeaksGlobal.com, Maz argues that attention is never owed — it's earned. Drawing on decades spent building shows that people actively choose to watch, she explores how desire, illusion, and respect for the audience are just as critical in brand-building as they are in television.

      Maz brings a truly international perspective to the conversation, drawing on her extensive work across Australia, the U.K., Singapore, and the USA. Together, they discuss why "boring is disrespectful," why hope is not a strategy, and how brands can create moments people actually care about — without shouting, diluting their values, or chasing trends.

      This is a sharp, entertaining conversation about attention as currency, popular culture as a teacher, and why luxury can't afford to ignore how people really engage.
