- Mark Featherstone, Keele University, Luxury: History, Culture, Consumption
Taking its lead from an innovative combination of social, philosophical, linguistic and aesthetic theories, this important book demolishes the myths of contemporary luxury-brand marketing. Goods from menâs wrist-watches to highly priced designer T-shirts will never appear the same. The book encourages the reader to take their own critical look at the contemporary landscape of globalised consumption.

Armitage and Roberts offer a careful philosophical examination of luxury, enhanced by an exemplary series of case studies. In assembling this broad range of insightful contributions and through their own nuanced analysis, the authors make a timely contribution to the study of luxury as a cultural phenomenon.
