What is luxury to you?

Luxury is an effortless elegance and an appreciation of quality.

How has the notion of luxury changed over the last decade?

 In the past luxury leaned towards material possessions. Now, luxury has shifted to experiences and travel.

In terms of dining, what are jet setters looking for? Where can you find the same?

 Jet setters are looking for something unique that will tantalize their evolved palettes. Some of our favorite restaurants across the globe include Asiate in New York, Bazaar in Los Angeles, Le Meurice in Paris and Caprice in Tokyo.
