Study Notes

Luxury Fashion - Key Notes

  • Luxury is defined as something adding pleasure, satisfaction, or comfort, not a necessity. It is often exclusive, difficult to obtain, and high quality. Luxury provides pleasure and social recognition.

  • Value of Luxury is tied to singularity, high quality, and reaffirmation of identity. Consumers may purchase luxury goods for materialism, hedonism, or prestige.

  • Origin of Luxury dates back to the mid-17th century and has evolved over time. Rational and irrational factors influence purchasing decisions; geographic location also plays a role.

  • Veblen's Conspicuous Consumption (1899): This theory describes the act of displaying ostentatious wealth to gain social status and reputation. This is related to social stratification and social integration.

  • Luxury as a Paradox: Luxury items are often described as inaccessible but desirable. There's a combination of a wish for social admiration, aesthetics, self-expression, and something more. Inflation and basic economics contribute to this paradox as higher prices increase desirability and exclusivity.

Fashion Cycle

  • 21st Century trends: Fast fashion has risen, characterized by cheap and chic products, direct-to-consumer strategies, and speedy supply chains. High-low collaborations between high and fast fashion brands, and high-end versions of popular items offered by fast fashion brands, have become increasingly common.
