"Professor Mitterfellner has written a fascinating and thought-provoking academic text that demystifies luxury brand management and gives students a new insight into luxury fashion. Thanks to many interviews with experts, new ground-breaking theories, and an original and lively prose style, she builds up a picture of what luxury and sustainability mean in today's fashion world. Although designed for academic research it should also have a broader public appeal - recommended."
Dr John Altman, composer/ Emmy winner/ author.

"A guide on the fundamentals of strategic brand identity systems, etiquette and expression; this illuminating text reminds us of the core principles of communication and purposeful prosperity, to evolve and encourage our own perspective. Time to hit the 'reset' button - this book (in true Mitterfellner style) is rich in both historical and contemporary context that will bring us back to basics by way of looking forward."
