This thesis focuses on the relationship between fashion luxury brands and contemporary artists by investigating the collaborations between them. Fashion luxury brands collaborate with a world of contemporary art because they share some values and visual language. Because artists are seen as epitomes of autonomy and authenticity they are perfect partners for luxury fashion brands to communicate authenticity and commercial disinterestedness, thus creating a stronger connection with consumers. The thesis states that luxury fashion brands use collaborations with contemporary artists as branding strategies in order to engage consumers emotionally and achieve a higher level of perceived authenticity and exclusivity. This argument is demonstrated through case studies of three luxury fashion brands: Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Gucci. The thesis showed that luxury fashion brands strategically use art to communicate the values of their brands, differentiate themselves from the competition and augment perceived rarity, exclusiveness and authenticity of the brand.
Questa tesi si concentra sulla relazione tra marchi di lusso della moda e artisti contemporanei indagando le collaborazioni tra di loro. I marchi di lusso della moda collaborano con un mondo di arte contemporanea perché condividono alcuni valori e un linguaggio visivo. Poiché gli artisti sono considerati epitomi dell'autonomia e dell'autenticità, sono partner perfetti per i marchi di moda di lusso per comunicare autenticità e disinteresse commerciale, creando così un legame più forte con i consumatori. La tesi afferma che i marchi di moda di lusso utilizzano collaborazioni con artisti contemporanei come strategie di branding per coinvolgere emotivamente i consumatori e raggiungere un livello superiore di autenticità ed esclusività percepite. Questo argomento è dimostrato attraverso studi di casi di tre marchi della moda di lusso: Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu e Gucci. La tesi ha mostrato che i marchi della moda di lusso utilizzano strategicamente l'arte per comunicare i valori dei loro marchi, differenziarsi dalla concorrenza e aumentare la rarità, l'esclusività e l'autenticità percipite del marchio.
