Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Devan Prithipaul Degree: Master of Arts Title: Clothing fantasies: A case study analysis into the recontextualization and translation of subcultural style Program Director: Katherine Reilly Sun-Ha Hong Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor ____________________ Katherine Reilly Program Director Associate Professor ____________________ Date Approved: August 31, 2020 ii Abstract Although the study of subcultures within a Cultural Studies framework is not necessarily new, what this research studies is the process of translation and recontextualization that occurs within the transnational migration of a subculture. This research takes the instance of punk subculture in Japan as a case study for examining how this subculture was translated from its original context in the U.K. The frameworks which are used to analyze this case study are a hybrid of Gramscian hegemony and Lacanian psychoanalysis. The theoretical applications for this research are the study of subcultural migration and the processes of translation and recontextualization. Keywords: subculture; Cultural Studies; psychoanalysis; hegemony; fashion communication; popular communication iii Dedication Glory to God alone. iv Acknowledgements “Ideas come from pre-existing ideas” was the first phrase I heard in a university classroom, and this statement is ever more resonant when acknowledging those individuals who have led me to this stage in my academic journey.

  • The Evolution of Streetwear
    The Evolution of Streetwear The newfound reality of Streetwear and its luxury-like management Trabalho Final na modalidade de Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Católica Portuguesa para obtenção do grau de mestre em Marketing por Miguel Lobo de Macedo sob orientação de Professora Doutora Joana César Machado Universidade Católica, Faculdade de Economia e Gestão, Maio de 2015 Acknowledgements Máximo 1 página (facultativo) Abstract Purpose: To explore the critical dimensions of successful streetwear brands and how they garner customers’ attention, devotion and regard for the brand. Ultimately, the goal is to compare the anatomy of a streetwear brand to that of a luxury fashion brand and analyze the main differences and similarities between the two in order to understand how a streetwear brand, Supreme, operates in its niche market. By using a case study approach, this study plans on analyzing the newfound reality of streetwear, the reasons for its unprecedented consumption and what the biggest brands in this industry do in order to appeal, constantly, to different crowds: the devoted followers and the fashion-driven consumers. With this in mind, the study intends to validate the relevancy of these streetwear labels in today’s luxury fashion markets. Findings: The aspirational consumer of today’s streetwear will be the aspirational consumer of the eventual luxury market of tomorrow. I understand that there is still a lot to be studied within this streetwear industry but believe to have validated the importance of these brands in the purchasing intention of today’s consumers, by deconstructing the brands. Three important levels of analysis cement my study.

Contact: [email protected] Mask On: How Fashion Erased the Politics of Streetwear in 2017 By Frances Sola-Santiago Hip-hop culture dominated the fashion zeitgeist in 2017. From a Louis Vuitton and Supreme collaboration to Gucci’s support of Harlem designer Dapper Dan’s store reopening, the fashion industry welcomed Black culture into the highest echelons of high fashion. Rapper Cardi B became the darling of New York Fashion Week in September after being rejected by designers throughout most of her career. Marc Jacobs traded the runway for the street, staging a show that included bucket hats, oversized jackets, and loads of corduroy on a large number of models of color. But while the industry appeared to diversify by acknowledging the indomitable force of hip-hop culture, it truly didn’t. The politics of hip-hop and Black culture were left out of the conversation and the players behind-the-scenes remained a homogeneous mass of privileged white Westerners. Nearly every high fashion brand this year capitalized on streetwear— a style of clothing born out of hip-hop culture in marginalized neighborhoods of New York City and Los Angeles, and none recognized the historical, cultural, and political heritage that made streetwear a worldwide phenomenon, symbolizing power and cool.

  • February 21, 2009 Over the Course of a Career That Has
    February 21, 2009 Over the course of a career that has variously infuriated anti-graffiti task force officers and enthralled Japanese street couture collectors -- meaning winning props from hip-hop superstars Kanye West and Pharrell Williams -- the pop artist KAWS has carved a unique niche for himself. The soft-spoken 34-year-old Jersey City native, born Brian Donnelly, created a new business model that bridges the high-low culture divide in ways that would have made steam come out of Andy Warhol's ears. By parlaying vandalism into a brand identity as a purveyor of mass- produced collectible toys, KAWS became a bona fide subculture celebrity with a recognizable presence in street fashion. But now, KAWS is at a career turning point. In spite of his renown in subcultural circles (which galleristas and museum directors have historically snobbed), he is now being mentioned in the same breath as pop art luminaries, such as Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring and Jeff Koons. And while KAWS has proven himself perfectly capable of trafficking his own pop offerings -- on skateboard decks, stickers, T-shirts and sneakers -- KAWS has infiltrated the rarefied world of institutional art after being held at arm's distance from it for much of his career. Pretty fly for a graf guy. "When I grew up, I never thought I could enter a gallery," KAWS said over lunch at Chateau Marmont this week. "I looked at them as these pretentious places that did not welcome me." On the heels of two exhibitions of his work at the Gering & Lopez Gallery in New York and Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Miami last year, an exhibition of KAWS' paintings and sculptures is set to open at Honor Fraser Gallery in Culver City tonight.

Bandung 2019 ABSTRAK Nama : Yen Manda NPM : 2015320086 Judul : Pengaruh Co-Branding Louis Vuitton dan Supreme Terhadap Minat Pembelian Konsumen di Bandung dan Jakarta Untuk memenangkan persaingan, merek-merek mempertimbangkan untuk berkolaborasi dengan satu atau lebih merek untuk membangun kekuatan baru di pasar akhir-akhir ini. Beberapa ahli mengatakan bahwa Co-Branding dapat berhasil jika satu merek berkolaborasi dengan merek kuat lain yang memiliki karakteristik yang mirip atau cocok dengan merek induk. Merek terkenal, Louis Vuitton (LV), telah melakukan Co-Branding. Yang menarik adalah, meskipun memilih merek lain dari segmentasi serupa, LV yang mewah memilih Supreme, merek fashion pakaian jalanan atau streetwear yang terkenal secara global. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh Co-Branding Louis Vuitton dan Supreme terhadap minat pembelian konsumen pada 100 orang yang mengetahui kedua merek tersebut. Co-Branding dapat diukur melalui dimensi familiarity, attitudes toward the partner brands, dan perceived fit between the partner brands. Melalui penelitian secara kuantitatif, data kemudian diolah untuk diketahui korelasinya antar dua variabel.

  • Limited Edition: Collaborations Between Luxury Brands Alice Fregne, Linnea Björck, Lusiyana Dimitrova
    Limited Edition: Collaborations between luxury brands By: Alice Fregne, Linnea Björck, Lusiyana Dimitrova Limited edition: Collaborations between luxury brands Alice Fregne, Linnea Björck, Lusiyana Dimitrova Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to see what luxury brands gain from a limited-edition collaboration in terms of segment, positioning and target group and based on the identity prism, see what characteristics that are transferred from and to the brands in the collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: First a literature review is presented with relevant theories for the purpose of the paper. Luxury brands, co-branding, limited edition and brand identity are concepts of interest that are described and analyzed. Multiple case-studies were conducted and analyzed based on secondary data from websites in combination with academic articles and literature to be able to answer the research question. Findings: It is possible to draw some cross-case conclusions regarding reaching a new target group, however, we cannot determine whether this is also valid long-term or just during the collaboration. For two of the cases, a new segment was reached through the collaboration hence creating potential customers for both brands in the future. Regarding the positioning in customers' minds, it is difficult to say without collecting information from them, nevertheless, we can see that some brand characteristics have the potential to be transferred from and to the brands in the collaboration that they can benefit from long-term. Research limitations: The study is based on secondary data; therefore, it is difficult to determine if the limited-edition collaborations affected the brand characteristics from the senders’ side.

  • How Can Luxury Fashion Brands Use Hip Hop Artists to Mix and Master Their Influencer Marketing Campaigns?
    28th of June, 2019 How can luxury fashion brands use hip hop artists to mix and master their influencer marketing campaigns? With the rise of hip hop’s popularity in pop culture and influencer marketing as a strategy adopted by companies, how can luxury fashion brands employ both to market their products? Student: Karl Huggenberger S1832832 Supervisor: Ruud Jacobs, PhD Program: Communication Science Abstract Influencer marketing is now an integral part of successful marketing campaigns, with companies across all markets adopting this strategy. Luxury fashion brands have been using various personalities to market their products for years, and are also aligning their strategy to current trends. The rise in popularity of hip hop personalities sees a growing trend of luxury brands working alongside them. Endorsements from these celebrities vary from being included in adverts by the brand, receiving products from the brand and putting them up on their social media account, and wearing them to public events. This research aims at clarifying which method appeals to the consumer the most and could possibly lead to an improvement of brand behaviour, recognition and intention among consumers. A sample of 107 respondents were subjected to a survey showcasing three posts of a single type of endorsement, traditional, active, or passive depending on the group they are in. Then the effect of these influencer marketing efforts on the respondents’ intentions concerning the brand in question was measured. Results showed that the difference in groups only had an effect on brand recognition, as participants were more familiar with the brands presented by traditional and passive endorsements.

  • Upgrades, Rebranding Designed to Further
    CRANKING UP ‘THE AMP’ BY LISA WHITE UPGRADES, REBRANDING DESIGNED TO FURTHER HEIGHTEN PROFILE OF ST. AUGUSTINE AMPHITHEATRE AND PONTE VEDRA CONCERT HALL . Amphitheatre kicked o its main-stage concert season March 1 with a sold-out show by Alabama, guests at the Florida venue couldn’t help but notice the changes. The 4,000-seat facility had been expanded by 700 seats, and a new food truck area provided fresh local options beyond the traditional concession stands. “We sell out a lot of our shows quickly, so we knew the demand was Athere and the ability to bring in bigger acts,” said Gabe Pellicer, assistant director of the venue and the adjacent Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, about the new seats. “We knew we had a lot of momentum, so we went for it.” The changes coincide with a rebranding for what’s now being called The Amp St. Augustine, including new graphics and brand colors and a fresh tagline — “Big Acts, Small Venue” — that echoes Pellicer’s words. The rebranding eorts are among a continuing eort to create a nationally known venue in a small market. “We felt like we ran into a fork in the road,” Pellicer said. “Do we create more revenue, more shows or a better experience? We’re a government-run venue that doesn’t have to chase prots, so we decided to make it the best we possibly could.” Owned and operated by the cultural events division of St. Johns County, The Amp hosts over 40 concerts and multiple community events annually, including the Saturday Farmers Market, held year-round, and the Sing Out Loud Festival, Florida’s largest free live entertainment festival and benet, held every weekend in September.
