Yet just 100 yards 91 metres from the empty aisles 通道 in London’s Oxford Street,the story is different.Burberry enjoyed a 35 per cent increase in sales income in the last three months of last year.Gucci saw its sales rise 25 per cent.Armani reported 20 per cent growth.Demand for the logo-print商标 at Louis Vuitton cannot be satisfied immediately.And growth is not only limited to the wealthy Southeast.
Experts say Britain has moved from a “good enough” culture to “good taste”culture.Almost everywhere you look—from clothes,to food and drink,to cars,to home furnishings,to holidays—Britons are buying into a life less ordinary.
Rising wealth is driving the revolution.New research shows that the average UK household(family) is 40 per cent better off than in 1986.“In the past only those with money and time on their hands were able to devote energy to the search for tasteful living,”says Martin Harward,a director at the Henley Center.“But as incomes rise and free time increases,the privilegedwealthy many are living higher.More middle-class consumers are developing a sense of their own self-image
through what they buy.”
