This study examines the effects of brand belief of a mass offline retailer on the perceived value, attitude, and purchase intention toward the products of emerging fashion designer brands in the context of marketing collaborations between emerging fashion designer brands and a mass offline retailer. We invited 198 adults aged 20 to 59 to an online survey who were asked to read a news article and respond to a questionnaire. The results of structural equation modeling show that brand belief of a mass offline retailer positively influences the perceived value of the products of emerging fashion designer brands. The perceived value also positively influences the attitude toward the products that subsequently enhances purchase intention. The findings suggest that emerging fashion designer brands should strategically select a mass offline retailer as their collaboration partner by considering consumer perceptions of the retailer brand because the brand belief of the retailer may have a halo effect on a consumer evaluation of the products of emerging fashion designer brands.

This study explores the level of designer brands' market oriented attitude through a conceptual framework of market orientation. Designer brands have rapidly increased in the Korean fashion market with a competitive environment that pushes designers to improve market oriented attitudes and strategy. Designers working for 20 brands that the government designated as 'promising creative designer brands' were invited for in-depth interviews, 19 designers from 18 brands participated in this study. The generation of market intelligence that composes market orientation meant that the designers were confirmed to collecting different types of information according to information sources. They showed interest in collecting information on the exploration of design trends from overseas designers as well as operational and managerial information from domestic designers. Fashion-related stakeholders mainly collected feedback on design concepts from the press and public institutions. They collected customer feedback from buyers; however, appropriate feedback was inadequate. Designers generally appeared to place less value on the collection of customer responses and opinions; however, two groups of designers showed customer-oriented attitudes according to accumulated experience. The market-oriented attitude of top designers had an important role in designer brands; consequently, top designers should be properly trained to improve market-oriented attitudes to increase market performance.

The purposes of this study are to (1) explore the characteristics of consumers who purchase products designed by rising fashion designers, and (2) examine the effects of consumer fashion innovativeness and price consciousness on consumer responses toward the products (i.e., product innovativeness, perceived value, and purchase intention). A total of 469 adult consumers aged 19 to 59 responded to an online survey that consisted of a stimulus (i.e., news article introducing new brands of rising fashion designers) and measurement items. As a result, 20% of respondents are found to be customers of rising fashion designers. These buyers (vs. non-buyers) are characterized as female, high income, and high interest toward rising fashion designer products. The findings from structural equation modeling show that fashion innovativeness and price sensitivity have significant, positive effects on product innovativeness and perceived value that further increase purchase intention. These relationships are significant in terms of perceived value dimensions, except for the relationship between social value and purchase intention. Both fashion innovativeness and price sensitivity have significant and positive effects on social, emotional, economical, and functional values. The emotional, economical, and functional values also have significant, positive effects on purchase intention. The implications of these findings are discussed in the conclusion.

현재 패션디자인을 보호하는 디자인보호법과 저작권법은 패션디자인 보호를 위해서 적절한 방법을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 이에 대하여 상표권 보호에 대한 접근론이 제시되고 있는바, 상표권에 관한 최근 두 개의 사건, Levi 사건 및 Louboutin 사건은 패션 업계에서 상표권의 인정 및 적용에 있어 시사하는 바가 크다. 리바이스 v. 에버크롬비 소송에서 법원은 어떤 상표 표시가 선사용 상표와 현저히 다른 경우에도 상표가치희석이 발생한다고 판단했는바. 이는 기존의 유명상표 디자이너에게는 유리하게, 반대로 신진디자이너에게는 큰 걸림돌로 작용할 것이며, 궁극적으로 디자이너들의 창의성, 경쟁, 소비자 보호를 해하는 결과로 이어질 것이다. 반면, 최근 루부탱 v. 입생로랑의 상표권 침해 소송에서 패션 업계에서 상표권 인정에 관하여, 연방법상 상표등록이 다른 디자이너들의 창작활동을 부당하게 방해한다면서 그 유효성에 대한 문제를 제기하였다. 그리고 패션 산업에서 디자이너들간의 경쟁의 자유를 덜 침해하는 취지의 판결을 내렸는데 이는 패션 디자이너뿐만 아니라 소비자 모두에게 유리한 환경을 조성하는 기초가 될 것이다. 아울러, 미국의 디지털 밀레니엄 저작권법 (Digital Millennium Copyright Act : DMCA)이 인터넷에서 발생하는 저작권 침해에 대한 청구와 방어에 대하여 "고지와 삭제 (notice and takedown system : NTS)"을 통하여 제공하는 균일한 비송상 해결책을 제공하지만, 상표권 침해에 대해서 온라인 매개자가 침해의 고지에 대하여 특정단계를 따르도록 하고 동시에 피난처 (safe harbor)를 제공하자는 선진적인 제안도 온라인을 통하여 더욱 패션산업을 양적으로 확대시키고자 하는 우리나라의 입장에서도 발전적으로 도입할 여지가 있을 것이다.

From the year 2000 on, Seoul has aimed to be a fashion city, and thus has been supporting young designers through Seoul Fashion Creative Studio, Generation Next, Le Dome, Concept Korea, etc. London is famous for nurturing young designers through the joint help of government, schools and industries: Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and Peter Pilotto are successful cases. Therefore, this research aims to suggest a direction for policies aimed at helping young designers in the international market, on the basis of London's nurturing programs and ideas from a literature review and case studies. The results are below. Firstly, a step-by-step supporting program is recommended. Secondly, long-lasting, sustainable programs are considered essential to support designers after the end of their contracts. Thirdly, practical assistance is preferred to monetary funding in order to lighten the designers' lot and in the interests of transparency. The mentoring service should be strengthened for the designers to eventually become independent. The support should be tailor-made according to items. Fourthly, the supporting programs should be promoted. Fifthly, government and industries should collaborate. Sixthly, 'de minimis' against overlapped support should be legislated. For these, the change of supporting method can be helpful; an independent administrative organisation plans and collects funds from governments and companies. Through these programs and any subsequent studies, Seoul could become a fashion city where young designers play active roles at a global level.
