La ricerca di questo elaborato di tesi origina dalla volontà di analizzare l’ambiente delle brand community, indagando su come si sono generate e sviluppate nel settore specifico della moda. Il tema delle fashion community (così denominate nella ricerca) è stato esaminato per approntare un progetto utile allo sviluppo della community dell’azienda di abbigliamento streetwear Dolly Noire srl. Attraverso il percorso storico-sociale dell’evoluzione della moda e del suo modo di entrare, grazie all’uso di media sempre più inclusivi e ubiqui, a far parte della sfera pubblica e privata, si arriverà a definire pratiche e considerazioni sulla comunicazione in questo ambito e sulla nuova identità dei suoi consumatori. Le aziende ora trasformano le loro strategie di marketing ponendo al centro il cliente che, grazie al ritorno della società creativa, da consumer diventa prosumer. Le brand community si trasformano in luoghi dove matura un nuovo mutato rapporto tra azienda e cliente, valorizzato attraverso le esperienze. Segue l’analisi di alcune specifiche fashion community (con particolare rilievo allo streetwear) di cui vengono definiti obiettivi, organizzazione e tipologie, anche attraverso interviste a esperti del settore. Da ultimo, viene analizzato il sistema delle piattaforme multicanale, strumento utile nel prossimo futuro alle aziende per dare risalto all’interazione con i loro prosumer; questa tecnologia viene elaborata per conseguire l’obiettivo di espansione della fashion community Dolly Noire Ambassador, oggetto del progetto di ricerca.

Abstract
The research for this thesis originates from the desire to analyze the environment of brand communities, investigating how they were generated and developed in the specific fashion sector. The theme of fashion communities (so called in research) has been examined to prepare a useful project for the development of the community of a streetwear brand: Dolly Noire. Through the historical-social path of the evolution of fashion, becoming more and more part of the public and private sphere, thanks to the use of increasingly inclusive and ubiquitous media, it will come to define practices and considerations on fashion communication and on the new identity of its consumers. Companies now transform their marketing strategies by focusing on the customer who, thanks to the return of the creative society, from consumer becomes prosumer. The brand communities transform themselves into places where a new mutated relationship between company and customer matures, enhanced through experiences. Following is the analysis of some specific fashion communities (with particular emphasis on streetwear) whose objectives, organization and types are defined, also through interviews with industry experts. Finally, the multi-channel platform system is analyzed, a useful tool for companies in the near future to highlight interaction with their prosumers; this technology is developed to achieve the expansion goal of the Dolly Noire Ambassador fashion community, object of the research project.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
