The concept of luxury, often perceived as a modern notion, has deep historical roots, paralleling human civilization itself. Ancient societies, seeking to satisfy needs far beyond basic needs, left behind exquisite objects that reflect the pleasure of owning unique items. From enchanting “turqueries” to the splendor of Topkapi Palace and the delicate decorative arts, five centuries of luxury have continued to evolve, inspiring the present.

This book, created in collaboration with Beymen, Turkey’s leading luxury fashion brand, commemorates their fiftieth anniversary and complements the Golden Opulence exhibition in Istanbul, which features exclusive pieces from renowned designers such as Alexander McQueen and Valentino. Golden Opulence: 500 Years of Luxurious Style pays homage to Ottoman craftsmanship and establishes itself as an essential reference for fashion and luxury lovers, offering a glimpse into a singular art of living that continues to captivate and inspire.
