Aims & Scope

Luxury Studies: The In Pursuit of Luxury Journal (IPOL) will provide invaluable insight into the luxury supply chain, enhancing the impact of research within the area of luxury. The new knowledge generated by the journal will have a direct impact on how luxury is defined and contribute to the understanding of a wide range of academic and industry-related issues.

Authors will be drawn from a broad range of national and international disciplines. Sharing experiences between multi- and transdisciplinary theory and practice provides an innovative approach to understanding the luxury market, how it operates and the impact it has on global 'communities'.

Academic communities will benefit through increased access to knowledge provided by and about industry partners – something that is often challenging due to the closed nature of industry practice. Industry readers will benefit from academic engagement and input through the sharing of diverse theoretical and practical experience.

Through shared dialogue between academics and industry practitioners, the journal hopes to stimulate change within the luxury sector; bringing about change in the supply chain in the form of new, more democratic models that promote the circular economy, sustainability and fair practices in employment.

General Call for Papers

Luxury is a constantly changing idea that provokes much debate. Whether rooted in the manufacturing techniques developed during the eighteenth century or the emergence of the kinds of digital processes that impact on design, craftsmanship and production today, certain constants remain in how we perceive and define luxury. Technology continues to influence our lives and decision-making processes. Circular economic models address the need to be aware of the impact of our actions on the production of goods and services. Data driven information informs and enhances our understanding of the customer and can provide goods and services to address their individual needs. This is in stark contrast to mass produced products and ‘services’ which – through global portals – contradict the very nature of luxury, with its emphasis on the unique, the bespoke and the singular, over mass consumption.

It could be said that the roles of manufacturing and craftsmanship are, and remain, critical components of how luxury is defined. But is the impact of digital technologies changing our very understanding of what luxury means today? Should the notion of luxury be adapted/re-examined? If so, what form should luxury take in terms of reflecting and reacting to continued advancements in technological processes, opportunities and services? Current concerns that need addressing include consumption, waste and the impact of our actions on the planet, health and well-being, equality and change. An emphasis on corporate social responsibility has enabled the tracking and tracing of finished goods and the materials used in their construction, including their environmental impact and the well-being of those involved in production. As the industry becomes more transparent, can luxury continue to remain beyond scrutiny?

Submissions

We welcome contributions from scholars from all disciplines and from practitioners from all segments of luxury including but not limited to fashion, jewellery, hospitality, architecture, automotive, technology and aviation.

These should be prepared using Intellect House Style, which is available to download from https://www.intellectbooks.com/journal-editors-and-contributors. All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under consideration by other publications. Articles for Luxury Studies are double-blind peer reviewed.
