Once luxury was available only to the rarefied and aristocratic world of old money and royalty. It offered a history of tradition, superior quality, and a pampered buying experience. Today, however, luxury is simply a product packaged and sold by multibillion-dollar global corporations focused on growth, visibility, brand awareness, advertising, and, above all, profits. Award-winning journalist Dana Thomas digs deep into the dark side of the luxury industry to uncover all the secrets that Prada, Gucci, and Burberry don?t want us to know. Deluxe is an uncompromising look behind the glossy façade that will enthrall anyone interested in fashion, finance, or culture.

在奢侈品民主化的浪潮下,每个国家都有一大批奢侈品牌的忠实粉丝,但不同国家的粉丝对奢侈品的态度却有所不同。 日本人对商品品质显示出无人企及的挑剔。“他们对细节的专注,对品质的要求,无可匹敌,毫不妥协。”香奈儿日本分公司董事长理查德•克拉斯(Richard Collasse...
评分奢侈品是一个不断滑落又保持顶峰的锥形沙堆,是一个不断推陈出新、后来居上的发展过程。 某种物品、品牌的奢侈品光芒也会和太阳一样,曾经光芒万丈,最后慢慢熄灭。曾经丝绸、瓷器是奢侈品,但它们现在是日用品,LV、Gucci等也将重复这一过程。 但奢侈品是永远不会消失,奢侈...
评分一切奢侈品都是现代文化刻意制造出来的无用之物,就像钻石、宝石一样,当大家都在沙漠里跋涉的时候,一颗十克拉的钻石也换不到一瓶水。事实也是如此——当你走在淮海路上,穿200万美元定制的一套西服和20块一件的T恤都没人多瞧你一眼。手提60万的爱马仕和肩背60块的双肩背更没...

评分无论你了不了解奢侈品牌,《奢侈的!》都是很值得阅读的一本作品。书的副标题“奢侈品如何失去它的光芒”(how luxury lost its lustre)简明扼要地交待出作者的观点。“众所周知,奢侈品起源于古老的欧洲王室,开风气之先的是法国宫廷,那儿为挥霍铺张的生活方式树立了典...
有点隔靴搔痒啊
评分上海图书馆都有,先贤祠图书馆居然木有!太过分了。。。
评分中译本就很好
评分上个暑假看的这书 最近各媒体分析现在各国家的nationalism趋势和反对globalism 又想来它 基本上就是骂法国奢侈品全球化之后从欧洲到品牌到产品每况愈下 锅全是lvmh老板Bernard Arnault的 巴菲特在美国总统选举完了之后的interview: 经济学家口中的全球化带动效率是资本家自己可以赚取更多的profit而实际上普通人的生活并不会因此而更好 全球化除了让普通人失去工作和产业以外 只不过可以在买篮球鞋的时候少给几分钱而已 ——我个人觉得全球化对普通人生活的改进绝对不止这点儿 但是确实可以理解 跟失去自己的工作相比 一双鞋子的一点差价确实不算什么 但是我还是觉得虽然有几个generation的人因此失去工作(阵痛期) 但是从长远看起来肯定是对更多的人有好处的
评分So luxury is about buying into the dream, what if that dream is only an illusion created by ads and some publicity stunt...
