Who Sponsor’s Your Fit? Collab Cliche’ by The Empress of Dress
Remember how the world embraced Halston into JCPenney? But the fashion community was in shock!
Well, decades later cross-collaborations is the new mass-marketing tool.
From Gucci/Adidas
The North Face / Gucci
Louis Vuitton / Nike
And the licensing deals go on.
No one has done it better than Jeremy Scott, with my personal favorites, the Adidas high heels.
And these endless licensing deals w/ everyone from the Care Bears to M&M to Barbie and even to Mad Balls.
Not only are the products truly collaborations like Fendi, and Versace but the marketing and branding behind this erupting trend ripples through Target, H&M, and Balenciaga with Crocs or Vibram 5 finger shoes.
The sponsor and designer collaborations are endless.
But the question still remains, are Alexander Wang’s leather joggers from H&M really the same?
Yes, there is certainly creativity but clearly, in some designs- the production quality and value had to be lowered to meet a targeted market with a specific price point.
But is it the same experience or holds a superior ranking of a luxury product?
