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.
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...
评分曾在公车靠站的时候,看到一个女孩子背着一个簇新的红色漆皮LV,也许是刚刚入手,看的出来女孩子很喜欢,很兴奋,又有些手足无措。看着她那副“含在嘴里怕化了”的神情,让我想到Karl Lagerfeld的一句话:Luxury is the ease of a T-shirt in a very expensive dress. I f you ...

评分奢侈品消费不是功能性而是地位性消费——石崇们斗富不是闲得蛋疼无聊,而是为了给竞争者杀鸡儆猴、向有意合作的对象展示自身实力的表现。官方强调的“节俭”和普通人的“抠门”根本就是两回事:前者害怕民众中出现带有明星与广告效应光环的个体,而后者则是物欲暂时无法满足的退让。这些都和所谓的“俭以养德”毫无关系
