Glamour, as the glossy Euro-Atlantic canon embalmed it, still drifts into our feeds smelling faintly of Monte Carlo: Bondian martini chill; baccarat baize green; white dinner jackets haloed by cigar haze; a roulette flicker on cheekbones glazed in anonymous Swarovski fallout. Cruise capsules keep rinsing and reselling the same Riviera myth: bias satin like liquefied bullion, crystal sheaths engineered for chandelier refraction, a covert empire of colonial signifiers disguised as ‘international chic’. The room, in its default setting, is historically narrow: tailoring as neutral, everything else an ‘exotic’ flourish or themed detour. With the new House Rules, all bets are off.
