“…Furthermore, studies of cross-cultural variations in the consumption of luxury contribute to the field of international marketing (Dubois et al, 2005;Shukla, 2010;inter alia). However, as Donzé and Fujioka (2015) note, much of the management research on luxury is produced by journalists or by researchers who provide consultancy services for the large luxury firms. Hence, such literature often lacks depth of analysis.…”

Purpose Through a critical review of the impact of luxury international business, this study aims to contribute to an understanding of business activities that depend on an unequal distribution of income and wealth. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on a wide range of academic and practitioner literature, this study adopts a critical luxury studies approach to provide an assessment of the economic and social impact of luxury international business. Findings Luxury is an increasingly important sector of the economy, which contributes to the welfare of increasing numbers of people across the world. Alongside its dependence on an unequal distribution of income and wealth and the negative aspects to which this gives rise, luxury business generates significant benefits to the economy and society through promoting economic growth, innovation, cultural enrichment, improved quality of the built environment and environmentally sustainable business practices. Nevertheless, an appropriate level of regulation and taxation on the excesses of contemporary luxury consumption could improve the welfare of all. Hence, luxury international business warrants investigation by critical scholars who recognize the complexity of the benefits and dark sides arising from luxury. Research limitations/implications This study draws on an extensive review of academic and practitioner literature. However, primary research is required to investigate further the key issues identified. Social implications Through an exploration of the impact of the production and consumption of luxury, this study reveals how luxury businesses serving the super-rich can contribute to the welfare of society whilst also giving rise to negative outcomes. Originality/value By adopting a critical luxury studies approach, this study offers an original contribution to the field of international business and introduces avenues for future critical international business research.

“…ii) Quadrant B: a luxury goods firm addressing to affluent customers cannot ignore a complex market that is punctuated with aggressive competitors (Kapferer, 2014). Thus, requisite levels of internal complexity that match the pressing demands for a superior value that justifies excessive prices appears as the only prudent choice (Tynan, McKechnie & Chhuon, 2010 (Donzé & Fujioka, 2015) they may decline and perish.…”

“…Thus, requisite levels of internal complexity that match the pressing demands for a superior value that justifies excessive prices appears as the only prudent choice (Tynan, McKechnie, & Chhuon, 2010). If luxury firms do not complexify themselves through sophisticated, adaptive marketing strategies (Donzé & Fujioka, 2015) they may decline and perish.…”

“…The historical analysis of fashion as an economic phenomenon has been based mainly on an approach close to business history, although highly influenced by other disciplines such as cultural history. In addition to examining the historical origin of fashion and its manifestations in the pre-industrial period (Belfanti, 2008a(Belfanti, , 2008b(Belfanti, , 2009Richardson et al, 2003;Raveux, 2014;Riello, 2006) and the evolution of the apparel sector in Great Britain from the nineteenth century (Anderson, 2006;Godley et al, 2003;Honeyman, 2003;Riello, 2003;Ugolini, 2003Ugolini, , 2007, these studies have focused on three fields of research particularly prolific in the Contemporary Age: the development of hautecouture and the luxury industry in France from the mid nineteenth century (Blay, 2005;Brachet, 2012;Donzé and Fujioka, 2015;Font, 2012;Maillet, 2009;Okawa, 2007;Pouillard, 2011Pouillard, , 2013Pouillard, , 2015, the formation of a fashion system in the United States from the first third of the twentieth century (Arnold, 2009;Blaszczyk, 2008b;Clemente, 2007Clemente, , 2014Schweitzer, 2008;Welters and Cunningham, 2005) and the conversion of Italy into a new world leader in fashion during the second half of the twentieth century (Belfanti, 2015;Capalbo, 2008;Colli and Merlo, 2007;Fontana, 2008;Merlo, 2003aMerlo, , 2003bMerlo, , 2011Merlo, , 2015…”

Fashion is a complex social and cultural phenomenon with strong economic implications. Historical analysis reveals that the mechanisms of creating and spreading fashion have not remained constant, but have varied according to social structures, forms of producing and distributing apparel and social media, while the level of influence of fashion on society has increased in line with economic development. This special issue of Investigaciones de Historia Económica-Economic History Research is dedicated to fashion as an economic phenomenon in the contemporary period. The four articles which make it up show the plurality of the subject areas, sources and methodological approaches in the current research on this topic.
