In your reading of Deluxe by Dana Thomas, you should have discerned a very particular point of view that she holds towards the concept of “luxury” and the direction of the Luxury Sector…. within this Learning Unit, I’ve included several videos, interviews with Karl Lagerfeld, Bernard Arnault and talks delivered by Suzanne Lee… Each of these three individuals has their own point of view of what luxury is and should be…I’m hoping that over time, each of you will also develop your own point of view as to the meaning of luxury….
In a short paper, for example 2-4 pages, please state your understanding of their differing views and then contrast their views with those of Dana Thomas… you paper should be double spaced, attributions expected but no footnotes necessary, as long or as short as you like… Imagine a conversation among these folks and what they might say to one another on the topic of luxury… most important, this paper should reflect your understanding of the book and videos viewed.
And as you imagine what Dana might say to each of these individuals… please also be sure to add… What would you say to Dana about your and her notion of luxury…
