"Luxury Fashion and Culture" focuses on the study of how humans use
high quality, highly pleasurable, and frequently rare products,
services, and experiences to distinguish to themselves and others who
they are as well as whom they are not - both within and across
cultures. Luxury fashion enables the individual to transform herself -
to play a part in scenes exuding refinement, acceptance, high status,
and good taste and risk ridicule by playing the part badly. The
chapters provide new theory, recipes of methods, and findings on how
culture helps humans manage and respond to luxury fashion enactments.
Rather than focusing on traditional cultural transformations, it
focuses on personal expressions of self and archetypal role-playing
and fulfilment through the power of luxury fashion. This volume:
applies the perspectives of Veblen, Goffman, McCracken, Thompson, and
Belk to provide a theoretical foundation to explain why and how humans
buy and enact luxury fashion products, services, and experiences;
includes confirmatory personal introspections of explanations of
luxury fashion enactments with self-photographs and
self-interpretations of the enactments to explain how individuals
enact luxury fashion and respond to alternative fashion-marketing
designs; and is unique in conjoining sociology, psychology, marketing,
and economics to advance fashion marketing theory and research.
