"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.
