  • F J Benjamin Secures Rights to Retail Luxury Label Goyard in Hong Kong
    F J BENJAMIN SECURES RIGHTS TO RETAIL LUXURY LABEL GOYARD IN HONG KONG SINGAPORE, 10 May 2010 – F J Benjamin, Singapore’s leading fashion and lifestyle group, has secured the rights to retail one of France’s oldest and most highly sought- after luxury brands, Goyard. An agreement was signed between F J Benjamin and Algo SA to give F J Benjamin rights to retail Goyard in Hong Kong. Under the agreement, F J Benjamin will first open a 780 square foot Goyard store at the Peninsula Hotel in the first quarter of 2011. The agreement also gives F J Benjamin the rights to open a store in Singapore upon certain conditions being met. La Maison Goyard, founded in 1853 in Paris, is known to be the oldest trunk maker in existence and is famous for its high-profile clientele, which has included the Royal Court of England, the President of the United States, the Emperor of Russia and the Maharajah of Kapurthala. Other famous clients included Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John D. Rockefeller, Ceaser Ritz, Pablo Picasso, Madonna and Karl Lagerfeld. Nash Benjamin, Group CEO of F J Benjamin, said: “We are honoured to represent the Goyard brand in Hong Kong. Those familiar with the luxury market know that Goyard does not open stores everywhere in the world or trust too many outside the company to retail its products. This deliberately narrow channel policy ensures that it retains its premium positioning, and exemplifies the Goyard approach of ensuring that every detail of its product fabrication bears witness to quality and exclusivity.” Goyard, a brand that eschewed advertising and catwalks for personalised attention as a way to reach customers, was established by Francois Goyard who Page 1 of 3 began as an apprentice malletier in 1845 at Morel, the most renowned company of its ilk within Paris.

EVIDENCE ON INTERNET COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR LUXURY BRANDS Angy Geerts, University of Mons Nathalie Veg-Sala, University of Le Mans ABSTRACT Luxury brands and the Internet communication media seem to be inconsistent at first sight. On the one hand, luxury brands have to maintain the control of their elitism and their image; on the other hand, Internet is defined as a mass media of communication that is basically not selective. However, some years ago, all the luxury brands started to set up their own websites and some of them have gone as far as opening online shops.

  • Boyarde Messenger: Luxury Pop Art & Scopophilia
    BOYARDE MESSENGER: LUXURY POP ART & SCOPOPHILIA INSTAGRAM: @boyarde WESBITE: www.boyarde.com EMAIL: [email protected] Artist Boyarde Messenger’s notorious POP ART can be found in all corners of the globe with collectors reaching London, Australia, The Royal Palaces of Jordan, Paris, New York Hong Kong and Belize. With widespread acclaim, she has featured in The Financial Times, Vogue Brasil, The Daily Mail, The Metro, Stylist Magazine, The Huffington Post, The Sunday Times Style Magazine, The Evening Standard, You Magazine, Harpers Bazaar Singapore, Turkish Marie Claire, L’Officiel Indonesia, The Independent, appearing on BBC Radio, BBC 3’s Russell Howard’s Good News and discussing the origins of her work for GMT BBC World News. Boyarde created an exclusive Pop Up exhibition with Benefit Cosmetics in Cork Street, London, recently collaborated with Kiehl’s and Selfridges, London and was commissioned to hand paint 100 pairs of shoes for the Charlotte Olympia and Neiman Marcus which featured in US Elle and French Vogue. Boyarde describes her work as “highlighting…[her] playful personality, injecting it with humour and mischievousness, whilst liberating the object of desire, admiring its form, yet still confirming the vital balance between power and vulnerability.” When focusing on her painterly work, Boyarde describes herself as ‘painting on everything but paper’. This came as a natural transition from using the female body as a canvas, to shoes and bags. Her Pop Art transcends the body to luxury fashion accessories, as her current projects continue to explore further her fascination with the female form and the nature of its power, engendered in the ‘pleasure of looking’: Scopophilia.

  • Luxury Advertising – an Oxymoron
    Bachelor of Science Thesis in Marketing, spring 2017 Stockholm School of Economics Luxury Advertising – An Oxymoron A Quantitative Study on the Negative Signalling Effects of Advertising on Luxury Brands through Third-person Effect Abstract This thesis evaluates the advertising contradictions about marketing strategies in luxury branding. Although it has been discussed that marketing of luxury goods are anti-laws of marketing, the advertising expenses are billions and billions of dollars in an industry worth €1.08 trillion in 2016. This thesis shows that luxury is incommensurable with normative advertising. Through an experimental research (n=150) with stimuli of advertising respectively no advertising on the prestigious luxury and connoisseur brand Goyard – that has never used advertising as a strategy – presents that the overall luxury perception of conspicuousness and uniqueness as brand signal decreases with advertising for all consumer groups. One of the causes for this decrease in luxury perception is due to the third-person effect, where female participants rated lower values of positive characteristics of the brand’s customers with advertising. The findings show that luxury brands cannot be successfully advertised in a mass- communicated way. In line with a previously posed communication paradox, an increase in brand awareness did not increase the demand for Goyard, as the purchase intention did not increase. However, there are positive practical implications for managers suggesting that advertising messages could be successfully managed within the brand’s self-controlled new media channels. These findings show that it might be better for luxury brands to save all these billions in advertising expenditures and just whisper the word ‘luxury’ into the right ears.
