A critical approach to contemporary luxury studies focusing on aesthetic, design-led and media practice with key case studiesAssembling the foremost scholars in this innovative, distinctive, and expanding subject, internationally well-known critical theorists John Armitage and Joanne Roberts present a ground-breaking aesthetic, design-led and media-related examination of the relations between historical and, crucially, contemporary ideas of luxury. Critical Luxury Studies offers a technoculturally inspired survey of the mediated arts and design, as well as a means of comprehending the socio-economic order with novel philosophical tools and critical methods of interrogation that are re-defining the concept of luxury in the twenty-first century.Case Studies IncludeHiroshi Sugimoto's Silk Shiki for HermèsThe plain white t-shirtLouis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LMVH)ContributorsJohn ArmitageChristopher J.
