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.
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 ...
评分上网的时候几乎在每个论坛都能看到关于“街拍”的帖子。这些街拍99%都是关于大牌明星(很多其实也并不大牌,而是所谓的时尚潮人)和模特是如何穿着或华贵耀眼或波西米亚的行头在街头出现的照片。这样的内容每每都是观者甚众,一有街拍帖子,必然会引起我国众上网女青年...
评分此书作为一本故事书架构很精巧,总是在承上启下。作者写作风格严肃,大量的旁征博引也都标明了出处。作者只是把一个很多人都心知肚明的事拿到了表面:大多数奢侈品消费者都知道他们买的包是人造革做的,也知道是机器缝的,更能从各品牌门店媚俗奢侈的装修里知道这是暴利行业。...
评分整本书的结构比较杂乱,每个品牌的历史和故事穿插在各个章节里,而且每个章节的内容很多时候跟章节标题没有什么关系。如果可以按照品牌来划分章节,条理会更清晰一些。 作者对细节的描述非常到位,态度客观,我没看出她有太多的批判性,很多品牌的历史一一叙述。有一个观点是...

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
