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.

评分刚看到书的名字时,以为是一本奢侈品的教科书。读了才知道原来是一本揭露奢侈品内幕的“反奢侈品”书。通过展示奢侈品来凸显一个人的权势与成就,这究竟是不是浪费的争论从公元前700年就开始了,直到现在也没能有个定论。但是看完这本述说奢侈品变味之路的书,才明白一个带着价...
评分《奢侈的》一书为大家展示奢侈品的前生后世和方方面面,当然也包含奢侈品的“设计”, “设计”是什么?带来了什么价值?产品除了原材料、工人工资、场地资金、店面开销等等之外,是否还有什么价值?这是一切号称“设计创造价值”者绕不开的问题,也是“设计创造价值”的根本。...
评分1. 奢侈品的出身——大品牌源于小店铺 当今奢侈品行业60%的市场份额被35个主要品牌所掌控,像路易威登、古驰、普拉达、乔治阿玛尼、爱马仕以及香奈儿这些品牌年营业额都在10亿美元以上。其实多数我们津津乐道的奢侈品牌都是18世纪、19世纪卑微的匠人们为王室制造精美手工...

评分作者把一些随处可(免费)搜的信息用乏味语言拼凑在一起,写出一本没有分析深度也没有趣味的书。我从中没有得到任何之前不知道的信息。
