The Lifestyle Era: Luxury’s Opportunity in Home and Hospitality

BoF’s guide to why and how fashion and beauty brands are expanding into lifestyle — from home to dining to hotels — to extend their brand universes, deepen customer touchpoints and find new avenues of growth.

The $4.3 trillion lifestyle sector, which includes everything from homeware to hotels, may not present a new opportunity for fashion and beauty brands — after all, brands like Ralph Lauren have had home businesses brands like Armani hotels for decades now.

But what is new is the momentum such expansions are gaining, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic led consumers to place greater importance on the spaces in which they live, work and socialise.

Fashion and beauty brands are betting on home design, dining and hospitality to not only open new revenue streams but also extend customer touchpoints and build greater brand affinity.

In ‘The Lifestyle Era: Luxury's Opportunity in Home and Hospitality,’ BoF Insights explores how and why consumer behaviour is changing when it comes to lifestyle. BoF Insights also provides a framework for how fashion and beauty brands can invest in lifestyle categories and prioritise the right tactics to reach their desired target audiences. The report is informed by almost 30 executive interviews, proprietary consumer surveys and market sizing and growth data from Euromonitor International and Earnest Analytics.
