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。...
