As someone who has been on the inside of the fashion insider for about 8 years now, and is about to launch a luxury casual brand, you can best believe I will be exploiting people's ego and vanity - that's called smart marketing - to get as much cold hard cash into my hands as possible. However, I will ensure that I am giving them excellent quality and forward-thinking design as well. But, at the end of the day, if I don't make money - and lots of it - I will not survive in business. Luxury is all about ego and vanity; it always has been and it always be.

I am currently reading the book, and it is quite interesting. High End fashion is being exploited to the general masses, really makes one think. Luxury IS losing the wow factor to me. Nothing seems unique anymore. Suddenly, logos with names all over products seem more important than the actual quality of a bag. If you look at a fashion house's statistics, I bet you that products with designer logos all over them sell more than those with more unique features. Thanks for that article.

Luxury is about exclusivity and authenticity. Finding a designer you love, even if they aren't a big name is a luxury. I am now refusing to spend money on anything that I don't absolutely love, its my bid to enjoy the luxury of choice.

Although I am only half-way through it, it is extremely well-written and rips the veil off the entire luxury brand industry.

Seeing a 12-year old girl carrying a Coach or even an LV purse proves this point exactly! Unless an item is straight off the runway or of limited edition, it's hardly considered a luxury no matter what the price tag anymore. Thanks for sharing that article.
