This issue introduces a major shift from consumer- directed shopper to pure B-to-B, focusing on the highest levels of the accessories market. We made this change for one reason: You. Our intention is to provide you with information you will fi nd essential and compelling as you navigate the luxury accessories arena at this moment of remarkable global change, while showcasing some of the best product the sector has to off er. One could fi nd it ironic that during a time of intense economic volatility (I write this the day after the Dow plunged 643 points), executives helming the world’s greatest luxury houses are turning their attentions upward, developing products more luxurious, more artisanal, more rarifi ed and therefore, often more expensive than ever. “Ur-luxury” is how Fendi’s Michael Burke The Accessory logo was designed described the phenomenon to European Editor Miles

  • Touching Textures Through the Screen: a Cinematic Investigation of the Contemporary Fashion Film

    Touching Textures Through the Screen: a Cinematic Investigation of the Contemporary Fashion Film

    Touching Textures Through the Screen: A Cinematic Investigation of the Contemporary Fashion Film Name: Simone Houg Supervisor: Dr. M.A.M.B Baronian Student Number: Second Reader: Dr. F.J.J.W. Paalman Address: University of Amsterdam Master Thesis Film Studies Phone Number: 26 June 2015 Email: [email protected] Word Count: 23709 2 Abstract The contemporary fashion film emerged at the beginning of this century and has enabled fashion and film to enter into an equivalent relationship. This symbiotic relationship goes back to the emergence of both disciplines at the beginning of the twentieth century. The fashion film is a relatively new phenomenon that is presented on the Internet as a short film, made by fashion designers and fashion houses that optionally collaborate with well-known filmmakers. The fashion film expresses itself in many forms and through many different styles and characteristics, which makes it hard to grasp. In the case studies on the fashion films commissioned by Dior, Prada, Hussein Chalayan and Maison Margiela, concepts such as colour, movement and haptic visuality are investigated, in order to demonstrate that by focusing on the fashion films' similar use of these cinematic techniques, a definition of the fashion film can be constituted. The fashion film moves in our contemporary society; a society that is focused on ideas of progress, increased mobility and other concepts that characterise a culture of modernity. These concepts evoke feelings of nostalgia and the fashion film responds to this by immersing the spectator into a magical, fictionalised world full of desired garments, objects and settings. The ‘aura’ that surrounds the fashion brand is expressed by letting the viewer fully participate in this fashioned world.

  • Portraits in Family Shoes

    Portraits in Family Shoes

    Portraits in Family Shoes What does a shoe say about the wearer? Could your family be represented by drawing their shoes? What arrangement of shoes would best depict your family? Journal Exercise: Listing Exercise In your journal you will create several lists to help you start this project. On the top of the page and going across it list your family members. These will serve as column headings. If your family does not easily fit across the page turn so you can make your list in landscape mode. Under each person list their shoes. Underneath, I have started a list for my family. Start your list with shoes you see the person wearing the most, or that you think are particular favorites of the family member who wears them. You need not list every pair of shoes that family member owns (especially if the person owns 50 pairs of shoes), but try to list all of the shoes they wear often. You may then want to circle shoes you think are particularly emblematic for each family member. Shoes that really show their personality or role in the family.

    Bachelor Thesis Conference, July 3Rd, 2014, Enschede, the Netherlands

    Engagement of E-marketing by Luxury Brands, including an Empirical Study. Author: Rachel van Munster University of Twente P.O. Box 217, 7500AE Enschede The Netherlands [email protected] ABSTRACT Luxury Brand Management in the Internet Age The purpose of this study is to highlight the reasons provided by academic literature and the successful stories of luxury brands with their actual use of internet as marketing strategy, such to inspire other low or non online active brands to engage the internet with all its possibilities and activities as well and thereby help solve the research problem: ‘How can luxury brands successfully engage the internet as marketing strategy?’ Luxury brands and the management of these brands are discussed in the background section, while the literature review elaborates on e-marketing and luxury brand management. Three key activities are introduced: interacting, storytelling and experience. After an in depth description of the current online activity and highlights of five luxury brands: Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana, the outcome of the empirical study conducted among these luxury brands is described and discussed. The survey outcome corresponds with the possibilities described in the literature review and shows that the luxury brands questioned use a lot of the internet marketing tools provided, and although they can still learn from each other and the possibilities presented in the literature review to enhance their marketing strategy, the survey is also providing supporting evidence from the field of practice that the possibilities and activities the literature review describes are actually used by the luxury brands and therefore it is practically a given that the luxury brands that are low or not active online should also engage the internet as their marketing strategy.
