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.

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
评分為毛奢侈品現在的光環褪去瞭，因為假貨，降價，快消品牌的崛起，富人的增多，品牌的自降身價。書裏信息量翔實，豐富。文筆也極其吸引人，很久沒有一直讀下去也不纍的感覺瞭！
评分有點隔靴搔癢啊
评分Thomas: Luxury has lost its luster.
