Deluxe by Dana Thomas
What is the new definition of luxury when the advertising for the luxury lifestyle is targeted mainly towards the middle-class masses? What are we paying for when quality is no longer quality? How did luxury lose its luster? This book describes the real world behind the glossy spreads in magazines and fantastic dresses on the red carpet.
