Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster

• Great product!

<b>From the author of <i>Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes</i></b> - <br><br>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. <i>Deluxe</i> is an uncompromising look behind the glossy façade that will enthrall anyone interested in fashion, finance, or culture.
