Book Golden Opulence: 500 Years of Luxuriant Style by Assouline
Description
The concept of luxury, often considered a modern notion, has deep historical roots, parallel to human civilization itself. Ancient societies, in their quest to satisfy more than just basic needs, left behind exquisite artifacts that reflect the joy of owning unique objects. From enchanting “turkeys” to the grandeur of Topkapı Palace to delicate decorative arts, five centuries of luxury have continued to evolve, inspiring today.
This book, created in collaboration with Turkish luxury fashion leader Beymen, commemorates their fiftieth anniversary and complements the Golden Opulence exhibition in Istanbul, showcasing exclusive fashion pieces from renowned designers such as Alexander McQueen and Valentino. Golden Opulence, 500 Years of Luxuriant Style pays homage to Ottoman craftsmanship and establishes itself as an essential reference for fashion and luxury aficionados, offering a glimpse into a singular way of life that continues to captivate and inspire.
