评分记得第一堂奢侈品牌课,老师就问了luxury是什么,大家的答案五花八门,有关于质量,梦想,生活方式,炫耀等等,但是有一点可以肯定的是人们眼中的奢侈存在在集团品牌所鼓吹构建出的blingbling梦想泡泡中。市场全球化和大众化奢侈的过渡使得奢侈品牌渐渐失去他们的灵魂,奢侈已...

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。...

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.
为毛奢侈品现在的光环褪去了,因为假货,降价,快消品牌的崛起,富人的增多,品牌的自降身价。书里信息量翔实,丰富。文笔也极其吸引人,很久没有一直读下去也不累的感觉了!
评分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
评分爆料不多,實料不少,雖然有些方面只是蜻蜓點水,但絕對是值得一看的傑作。
评分group mentality , “War destroys man, but luxury destroys mankind; at once corrupts the body and the mind.”
评分Thomas: Luxury has lost its luster.
