Being a consumer of luxury goods has always been about projecting privilege, class, taste, wealth and prestige. Though empty, the feeling of gratification to possess these trappings are important to a certain worldview, so the present disdain for what has previously been the definition of "luxury" is only temporary, until more convincing items can be identified to fill the desire. People always need clothes and accessories that signal their aspirational ingroup.
