Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In his epitaph to the age of conspicuous consumption and wealth, Luxury featuresMartin Parrs photographs fromfive years of watching the rich and fabulous at international champagne-fuelled gatherings. In a series thatmanages to be both satirical and warmly affectionate towards air-kissing luxury-victims, Parrs subjects include parties, horse races and notable luxury events including theMillionaires Fair,Moscow, the Dubai Art Fair and the Art BaselMiami. Designed with an appropriately luxurious silver-foiled padded leatherette cover and introduced with an argument for a newmorality by leading British fashion designer Sir Paul Smith, Luxury is the powerful statement about the era before the bubble burst.
