Product Description
[FRONT FLAP]
'Luxury is a necessity that begins where necessity ends' These words spoken by Gabrielle Coco Chanel in the early twentieth century remain as true as ever today. Luxury fashion has seeped into every sphere of our consumer society; it has become the norm to aspire towards owning products from exclusive brands like Vuitton, Gucci and Dior. This desire is further heightened by affordable, available fashion from brands like H&M and Zara who continuously offer luxury-style goods at lower prices. Also, globalization and technological and communications advancement have made fashion even more accessible. Consumers can now shop at will on the Internet, access a wide variety of goods and exchange instant brand experiences. Consequently the average fashion consumer has become savvy, demanding and restless. To put it mildly, 'The luxury consumer and the luxury landscape have changed!'
What do these imply for luxury fashion brands? A changing sector currently undergoing an important market evolution, internal management shifts and rapid expansion, in dire need of strategic business direction.
Luxury Fashion Branding is the groundbreaking first book of its kind that addresses the business of luxury fashion from a strategic viewpoint. It critically analyses the essential aspects of the luxury fashion sector through tracing the origins of luxury fashion; assessing its consumers, and retailing tactics as well as branding and marketing strategy, business modelling and e-retailing.
Presented in a clear language, Luxury Fashion Branding will make an engaging reading for anyone who wishes to learn about the captivating business of turning functional products into symbolic objects of desire.

Format:Hardcover
This book might be OK for very very young readers with no previous exposure to business and especially brand marketing. It is very simplistic and shows very little new insight into the luxury industry and the luxury consumer. Very little up to date information has been included and as I read the book I wondered why I was wasting my time. No mention of consumer psychology leaves the book shallow and very disappointing. I find it strange that there have been positive reviews.

Uché Okonkwo's book, Luxury Fashion Branding has been a reference for me and my colleagues since I discovered it two years ago. I have just read it again and still find it very well researched, in-depth and relevant for both fashion and other areas of luxury. It is also a pleasant read, with all the colour pictures etc. I have since had the opportunity to meet the author and I must say that she is one to admire. Thank you Uché for this book and I hope there will be more books from you on luxury in the future. We're waiting....
