Luxury People Magazine is back with Issue 5, and it’s one worth paying attention to.
The World Luxury Chamber of Commerce has just dropped its latest edition of Luxury People Magazine, and leading the cover is Jeremie Bernheim, Chief Marketing Officer of Swiss watchmaker RAYMOND WEIL. In a candid conversation, Bernheim opens up about what it actually takes to run an independent luxury brand right now, the pressures, the trade-offs, and why staying true to your craft still matters in a market that rarely slows down.
Beyond the cover, Issue 5 brings together a genuinely interesting mix of voices. Peter Greenberg, Phil Keb, Ahmed Alajmi, Sabrina Piccinin, Sanja Vrančić, Anant Sharma, Antonio Paraíso, Caroline Huo, Abhay Gupta, and Alvaro Núñez Alfaro, spanning hospitality, real estate, architecture, wellness, travel, and brand strategy, all weigh in on where the industry is headed and what’s keeping them up at night.
The issue also reveals WLCC’s TOP Luxury Speakers of the World 2026, a recognition of the thinkers and executives who are actually moving the needle on how the luxury world thinks and talks about itself.
On the topics front, the edition doesn’t shy away from the harder questions: AI, Web3, the metaverse, sustainability, shifting consumer expectations, and what luxury leadership looks like going forward.
“Luxury today is no longer simply about products,” says WLCC President Alexander Chetchikov. “It’s about meaning, experience, trust, and long-term value.”
