Pressezitat
Luxury is so much more than any current It bag with a designer name on it. As a distinguished Italian scholar Patrizia Calefato shows in this seminal book, luxury is about excess in its purest form. Calefato draws on various, and often unexpected, guises of historical and contemporary luxury, in order to establish her unique analysis of the phenomenon of luxury. Djurdja Bartlett, author of FashionEast: the Spectre That Haunted Socialism, and editor of volume 9 of Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion, Senior Research Fellow, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, UK.
