Sinossi

Couture Hidden Costs explores the fascinating economics behind haute couture, revealing why these exclusive garments command such high prices. Beyond the obvious costs of materials and labor, the book uncovers the hidden investments in brand prestige, skilled craftsmanship, and the carefully cultivated system of exclusivity that supports this unique industry. Did you know that haute couture's origins can be traced back to 19th-century Paris, designed for an exclusive clientele, and that today, only a select few houses recognized by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture can officially claim that title? The book argues that understanding the economics of couture provides broader insights into luxury markets and aspirational consumption.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, linking design with business strategy, cultural history, and economics, making it valuable for students, luxury brand managers, and anyone interested in exclusive industries. It begins by tracing the evolution of haute couture and then examines the economic mechanisms that sustain it, such as how couture houses use ready-to-wear lines and accessories to offset costs. The book culminates in an analysis of haute couture's future in a rapidly changing global economy, addressing ongoing debates about inclusivity and sustainability.

Storybrand Your Coaching...

Kris Jones

Turn your expertise into a single, simple story that attracts the right clients and moves them confidently toward a yes. 
Surviving as a business coach shouldn't be that difficult, should it? All a good coach needs is ten paying clients who meet with them, one-on-one, once or twice each month. Once a coach gets ten one-on-one clients, all they need then is a short waitlist of clients who want to work with them, so if, let's say, 30% of their clients drop out, they can pick up three more off their waiting list. 
So, if it should be easy to start and grow a coaching business, why do 82% of coaches fail to get their coaching businesses off the ground? That's right. 82% of people who try to start coaching businesses fail within the first year. 
After more than two decades working in brand strategy and messaging, Kris Jones noticed a frustrating pattern. Coaches were getting real results for their clients, yet their websites, social posts, and sales conversations were doing the opposite of what they should. Instead of attracting the right people, they created confusion, hesitation, and silence.  Now, in StoryBrand Your Coaching Business, Kris shares her secrets for coaches on how to:Book consistent discovery calls without paid adsBuild waitlists instead of chasing leadsTurn their websites into reliable sales toolsGrow from inconsistent months to predictable revenue

Lucky by Design - The Hidden...

Judd Kessler

Wharton economist and market designer Judd Kessler pulls back the curtain on hidden markets that determine who gets what in everyday life—and how to tip the scales in your favor.
“Who knew cutting-edge economics could be so fun—and so useful? Witty and entertaining, Lucky by Design is essential reading before your next job hunt, school application, or even dinner reservation.”—Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, economist and New York Times bestselling author of Everybody Lies
What’s the secret to scoring a reservation at a hot new restaurant? When should you enter a lottery to increase your odds of winning? Why did your neighbor’s kid get into a nearby preschool while yours didn’t? Who gets priority for a life-saving organ donation?
These outcomes are not a matter of luck. Instead, they depend on how we navigate hidden markets that arise to decide who gets what when many of us want something and there isn’t enough to go around. Every day we play in these markets, yet few of us fully understand how they work.
In familiar markets, what we get depends on how much we’re willing to pay. Hidden markets do not rely on prices: you can’t buy your way in to a better position. Instead, what you receive hinges on the rules by which the market operates, and the choices you make in them.
Judd Kessler has spent a career studying and designing these very markets. Now, he reveals the secrets of how they work, and how to maneuver in them. Whether you want to snag a coveted ticket, secure a spot in an oversubscribed college course, get better matches in the dating and job markets, do your fair share of the household chores (but no more), or more efficiently allocate your time and attention, this must-read guide will show you how to get Lucky by Design.
