N2  - "Dana Thomas explores the whole of today's high-end shopping experience. She has travelled all over the world to interview corporate heads and factory workers, old-money, old-luxury clients and new luxury-obsessed middle-market consumers, and she paints a picture of today's New Luxury. With Deluxe, she delivers a look at the real world behind the glossy magazines and red-carpet couture and asks: How did luxury lose its luster?"--BOOK JACKET
