    Description

    Luxury fashion brands have long collaborated with artists – studies have suggested that an association with art allows commercial brands to be perceived as more luxurious.

    So luxury fashion brands – which know that they need a point of difference if they want to enhance the apparent exclusivity which enables them to charge higher prices for their products – are moving directly in the art field. Instead of using art for mere commercial purposes, they have started to invest conspicuously in the cultural industry.

      Prada and Louis Vuitton have gone one step further–Fondazione Prada in Milan and Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris may carry the names of fashion houses–but they are fully-fledged art galleries.
