Abstract

The importance of brand in the fashion business cannot be overemphasized. This chapter reviews the essence of fashion brand management, discussing the concepts of brand and brand equity, fashion brand development and management, and communication. The fashion brand communication section introduces the use of emergent social media and fashion blogs along with traditional media in the luxury and premium fashion industry. Challenges and trends in branding and communication in the fashion industry are also discussed. The challenges around luxury brands, such as counterfeit goods, commoditization, brand dilution, and brand avoidance are explained with prominent examples. In the subsequent section, trends in branding and communication are detailed: luxury brands’ offering online selling, limited edition, guerrilla marketing, pop-up stores, reinforcing brand equity by offering experiential spaces. Major concepts are explained using examples to help readers understand the larger scope of the topic, which will be instrumental in understanding branding strategies of five European luxury and premium brands cases in this volume.

Interbrand, a brand strategy agency, announces Best Global Brands report every year that identifies the 100 most valuable global brands based on financial results and projections in its own model for brand valuation. To qualify, brands must have (i) a presence on at least three major continents, (ii) must have broad geographic coverage in growing and emerging markets, (iii) Thirty percent of revenues must come from outside the home country, and (iv) no more than 50 % of revenues should come from any one continent (http://interbrand.com/best-brands/best-global-brands/2015/ranking/#?listFormat=ls)

Established in 1899, VF Corporation is a US company headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Intensive use of this media by many fashion brands led to the birth in 2012 of Fashiontube. On this channel, users can upload videos of famous fashion bloggers, fashion shows, and short movies related to the sector (Macchi, 2013).

The stickering consists of posting a number of stickers in busy areas so as to promote a brand already known or emerging.

The term ambush marketing refers to disruptive actions, carried out for example in a sponsored event, not conducted by the sponsor, but by a rival brand (Ferrari, 2009).

Viral marketing is a method of creating buzzwords or marketing pieces that are memorable and attention-grabbing. This method of marketing utilizes social media, videos, text messaging, and other person-to-person methods to spread information about a product or service instead of just creating a commercial and putting on TV or radio.

The term flash mob is used to indicate a group of people who plays short unconventional actions at a predefined location. The purpose of this action is generally ludic, but social or dissenting objectives cannot be excluded. People agree on the gathering place via SMS or Internet and their show is exhausted in a short time and ends with the applause of participants who vanish soon after (Ferrari, 2009).

Three decades ago, two men began flattening circles into the fields of Hampshire and Wiltshire. Little did they know that their Friday night antics would seed an international phenomenon that continues to change people’s lives to this day (Irving, Lundberg & Pilkington, 2006).

Build-a-Bear Workshop is a US retailer that sells teddy bears and other stuffed animals. “Customers go through an interactive process in which the stuffed animal of their choice is assembled and customized during their visit to the store” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Build-A-Bear_Workshop)

REI is a US retail chain carrying gear, apparel, and footwear for a wide range of outdoor and fitness activities.
