Course Objectives

The course provides an overview of the global luxury and fashion business and an in-depth understanding of market drivers, business models and brand management strategies. Adopting a case-study approach, the course presents brand management in luxury and fashion companies as a balancing act: keeping the traditions, breaking them up, balancing old and new, staid and stylish, nurturing the brand heritage and at the same time staying fresh, relevant and contemporary for the new generations in the global marketplace. Traditional lectures alternate with group work sessions: students participate to an evaluated assignment aimed at putting into practice methodologies of product and brand management learned in class.
