Today more than ever, the world revolves around luxury and beauty. But what does luxury really mean? We are constantly confronted with this term and the image of “beauty“ is often equated with luxurious appearances. We can travel all continents, fly with a private helicopter to the most remote places and surround ourselves with the most expensive objects. In a time of abundance and consumption, “the crazier, more expensive and exclusive, the better” applies. But what kind of luxury are we looking for when we want to be happy?
We here at Le Manoir do not automatically equate luxury with “abundance” or “expense”; instead, it’s a matter of individual taste, and in our eyes beauty is contected to individuality and character. That’s why we are always on the lookout for exceptional beauty and develop our skin-care products in the belief that every person and every skin is unique. As the cosmetics industry, in particular, tends towards an inflationary use of the words “luxury”, “beauty” and “individuality”, we always make a point of questioning them in our work. We do this both in the conception of our skincare products and also on a philosophical and artistic level. What’s more, in our independent Le Manoir Art section, we also help promising artists to realise their freelance art and film projects. Our current project is a cooperation with the artist duo REVEL: Azel Le Bris and Sofian Pelloquin. In their new film REBIRTH, the two artists address the question: “What is true luxury?
