What does luxury really mean in 2026?

That was the question at the centre of this special Marketing in the Madness episode, recorded live at Shoptalk Luxe with Barbara Campos, CEO of Joseph.

In this conversation, Katie Street sits down with Barbara to explore how one of Britain’s most iconic luxury fashion brands is evolving for today’s customer.

From Joseph’s origins and its focus on empowering women through understated, refined design, to the brand’s obsession with customer understanding, this episode looks at what it really takes to stay relevant in a changing luxury market.

The conversation also explores the role of technology in luxury retail, including how Joseph uses clienteling tools to support more personal, human customer relationships without losing the emotional connection that makes luxury feel special.
