Aims and 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.

Call for Papers

Luxury Studies: The In Pursuit of Luxury Journal welcomes 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.

We welcome full papers (5000–7000 words) for the journal, and also book, exhibition and conference reviews. All submissions should be sent via the journal webpage (https://www.intellectbooks.com/luxury-studies). Please contact the editors for any additional questions or information.
