具體描述
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.

讀後感
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...
評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...
評分当尼采喊出“上帝死了”之后，又有人喊出“艺术死了”，“崇高死了”。轰轰烈烈的消费社会到来，让一切经典的都死了。是这样吗？看了《奢侈的》（黛娜.托马斯著，李孟苏、崔薇译，重庆大学出版社出版）之后，我知道，真正的奢侈品，确实死了。书中告诉我们，当下我们消费的奢侈...
評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...

用戶評價
奢侈品消費不是功能性而是地位性消費——石崇們鬥富不是閑得蛋疼無聊，而是為瞭給競爭者殺雞儆猴、嚮有意閤作的對象展示自身實力的錶現。官方強調的“節儉”和普通人的“摳門”根本就是兩迴事：前者害怕民眾中齣現帶有明星與廣告效應光環的個體，而後者則是物欲暫時無法滿足的退讓。這些都和所謂的“儉以養德”毫無關係
评分奢侈品牌究竟是怎麼一迴事？讓作者為你講述品牌背後你看不見的一些故事。我們買的那些東西，事實和我們以為的到底有什麼不同？
评分上海圖書館都有，先賢祠圖書館居然木有！太過分瞭。。。
评分group mentality , “War destroys man, but luxury destroys mankind; at once corrupts the body and the mind.”
