명품에 대한 관심과 소비가 점차 대중화되면서 명품시장은 급성장하고 있다. 소비자들은 명품을 구매하고 사용함으로써 물질적인 풍요와 함께 심리적인 만족을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 기업의 입장에서는 명품은 가격 비탄력적인 특성을 가지고 있어 가격 프리미엄을 누릴 수 있고 양호한 성과를 산출하는데 유리하므로 명품성 확보방안에 많은 관심을 기울여야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 선행연구를 기반으로 명품성을 '다른 제품과 차별적으로 명품을 인식하게 만드는 제품의 속성으로서, 소비자의 구매행동에 중요한 동기를 부여하는 상황적 혜택을 제공하는 요인'으로 정의하고, 한국 중소기업의 브랜드 명품성 구축방안을 살펴보았다. 구체적으로는 명품산업의 세계시장과 한국시장 현황을 알아보고, 기존연구들과 관련문헌을 조사하여 명품성의 구성요소를 규명하였으며, 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 연구모형을 설계하여 마케팅 믹스를 활용한 한국 중소기업의 브랜드 명품성 구축방법을 제시하였다. 명품성의 하위차원은 기존연구들의 문제점을 감안하여 제품관련 속성여부와 소비자가 얻는 혜택여부에 따라 규명하였다. 제품관련 명품성은 우월성 (기능적 혜택)과 희소성(경험적 혜택)으로 구분하고, 비제품관련 명품성은 차별성 (상징적 혜택)과 전통성 (배타적 혜택)으로 구분하였다. 브랜드 명품성 구축방안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 제품요인을 이용하는 것이다. 높은 품질, 우수한 디자인, 인지도가 높으면서 강력하고 호의적이며 독특한 연상의 브랜드를 통해 명품성을 제고할 수 있다. 둘째, 가격요인을 이용하는 것이다. 소비자들은 명품을 고가품으로 인식하는 경향이 있으므로 제품의 가격을 너무 낮게 책정하는 것은 명품성을 훼손할 수 있다. 셋째, 유통요인을 이용하는 것이다. 제한적인 유통 채널을 통해 소비자에게 명품성의 차별성과 희소성을 지각시키는 것이 효과적이다. 또한, 명품브랜드에 적합한 매장 분위기를 조성하여야 한다. 넷째, 촉진요인을 이용하는 것이다. 소비자가 광고에 많이 노출될수록 명품브랜드에 대해 호의적의 태도를 형성하여 명품성을 높게 지각한다. 가격촉진은 소비자의 명품성 지각에 부정적 영향을 미친다. 다섯째, 기업속성을 이용하는 것이다. 제품에 대한 소비자의 평가는 제품속성뿐만 아니라 그 제품을 둘러싼 기업연상이나 기업이미지에 영향을 받는다. 기존연구를 참고하면 높은 기업역량, 양호한 기업평판을 통해 명품성을 제고할 수 있다. 기업역량을 높이기 위해서는 지식창출능력과 연계하여 다차원적으로 접근하면 유용한 시사점을 얻을 수 있다. 기업평판에 있어서는 외부 이해관계자들의 평판도 중요하지만 이에 못지않게 내부구성원들의 평판도 중요하다. 한국의 중소기업들은 본 연구결과를 활용하여 상황에 따라 개별적인 마케팅전략을 수립하거나 혹은 믹스 (통합)한 마케팅전략을 수립하여 추진함으로써 브랜드의 명품성을 구축할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits sought by luxury good customers contingent on product category, and to understand the relationship between the benefits sought and brand loyalty. A qualitative approach was used; therefore in-depth interviews were conducted with seven panels of professionals in the luxury industry. The findings are as follows: 1) Handbag customers mainly seek the social benefits in order to express their social status by purchasing well-known, easily-recognizable brands. 2) Shoe customers primarily seek the practical-functional benefits, which are comfort and function. 3) Small Leather Goods customers seek the social benefits for themselves and as gifts for others. 4) Brand loyalty for handbag customers is reported to be low, as their primary goals are the social benefits. Rather than devoting themselves to one specific brand, handbag customers prefer to purchase from various brands. 5) Shoe customers have reportedly higher brand loyalty, as they tend to come back to brands when they are satisfied with the benefits they pursue. The findings of this study provide more information on the practical implications of luxury good customer purchasing habits. Firstly, customers pursue different benefits depending on product category, and secondly, brand loyalty differs by customers' benefits.

The emergence of the luxury market has led numerous academic researchers, as well as marketers in the luxury market, to pay attention to both identifying luxury brand features and measuring perceptions toward luxury brands. Especially, Korea is a significant emerging market for luxury goods. Young consumers and male consumers are getting into the luxury market fast and these new segments will keep increasing. There are only a few studies related to distinctive definitions of luxury brands and measurement development for the Korean market. However, there are some limitations in these previous studies in that they did not capture the nature of luxury due to their inappropriate of subjects and approach in data collection and to lack of a perspective of Korean specific features. Thus, the purpose of this research is to identify Korean consumers' perceptions toward luxury products and, ultimately, to develop a reliable and valid measurement items for the luxury products' features for the Korean market. Defining the three high constructs(functional, emotional, and symbolic aspects) as a key needs and benefits on luxury brands, we looked at four stages of development for generating and deducting items by luxury industry experts and luxury consumers, as well as for testing measures by 20th~60th consumers. As a result, this study confirmed that luxury brands consists of high quality, high price, unique design, and luxury store; the emotional aspect construct combines craftsmanship, VIP service, and high social status; and the symbolic construct includes brand heritage and being a well-known brand. Finally, 22 measurement items (Measures of Luxury Brand for Korea: LBK) were developed for the conceptual features for luxury brands from a Korean perspective. This study provided understanding of Korean consumers' perceptions toward luxury brands from an academic perspective. For the managerial implication of this study, LBK can be utilized to judge both luxury brands and mass brands, to diagnose current a brand's luxuriousness, from the customer's point-of-view, and, finally, to measure a Key Performance Index (KPI) of luxury brand companies.

The aim of this study was to analyze e-commerce sites of luxury fashion brands in order to provide insights on how to enhance online site quality. For the research, forty-eight components of thirty-one luxury fashion brands' e-commerce sites were investigated during October 2013. For the analysis of clustering e-commerce site components and segmenting e-commerce sites of luxury brands, a hierarchical cluster analysis was applied through using the Ward's method and squared Euclidian distance for binary data. Further, Fisher's exact test was applied in order to distinguish three groups of characteristics in the luxury e-commerce sites. These analyses were carried out by SPSS 21. The result indicated that the components of e-commerce sites were grouped into three categories: basic elements, additional elements and elements of building brand identity. These components were categorized by whether their functions were basic and essential or additional and advanced. The other norm of categorization was related to brand identity. Furthermore, the luxury brands' e-commerce sites were segmented into three groups: a group of endeavoring to promote goods, a group of undistinguished performance, and a group of endeavoring to intensify brand identity. In this segmentation, brand identity or promotional aspects were decisive. Overall, luxury brands were trying to convey their traditional strength through their e-commerce sites. In order to achieve this purpose, brand identity or promotional aspects played an important role.

This study examined how viewers perceived luxury haul videos, what factors made them experience vicarious pleasure and gain relative deprivation when watching them. This study conducted an interview with 20 viewers of luxury haul videos. The content obtained from the interview was analyzed by classifying it into academic terms. Cases of vicarious pleasure arose when viewers had sufficient empathy when watching videos, which was intensified by YouTubers' behavior and visual stimulation in videos. A person's relative deprivation due to her financial capabilities or appearance occurred when she compared herself with YouTubers. The more viewers perceived luxury haul as a source of information, the more they felt relative deprivation; in addition, the more they perceived it as entertainment, the more they felt vicarious pleasure. Viewers who had a high level of involvement in luxury goods tended to feel vicarious pleasure; however, viewers with a high level of involvement in YouTubers tended to feel relative deprivation. This study helps luxury brands and YouTubers understand viewers' perception of their products and programs as well as helps in the development of fashion haul videos that are beneficial to viewers.

Climate change and global warming are the biggest challenges of the current generation. Every industry has contributed to the climate change and global warming. Even the apparel industry cannot avoid the criticism regarding fast fashion and its contribution to the pollution. The transition to the decarbonized economy is in progress. All aspects of business functions are influenced by climate change. Sustainable development and climate change are closely linked, and business plays the key role in addressing and finding solutions to the challenges of climate change. Luxury brands are the trendsetters and tastemakers. They are the leaders in the fashion industry and therefore responsible for improving on sustainability as well. Even luxury business cannot avoid environmental issues. The relation between luxury and sustainability is explored with the Burberry case based on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework. There are various ways for luxury brands to excel in sustainability and affect other companies' practices. The companies can incorporate the concept of sustainability in their brand stories as part of the branding process. They can also improve demand planning accuracy and produce upcycled goods. Centering on Burberry's case, this paper aims to explore the current sustainable practices of luxury business along with its future direction toward sustainable development. Its contribution and directions for both researchers and business practitioners are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the fetishist characteristics and the aesthetic values of glamour style based on the premise that fetishism is the theoretical root of glamour style expressed in fashion throughout history. The following results are from analysing fetishist characteristics of glamour style. First, luxury was analysed from an angle of commodity fetishism. Every culture develops images and stories that portray a world in which its ideals are realized: a paradise, a utopia, a golden age, etc. Consumer goods often serve as 'bridges to these ideals'. People thus can fantasize about owning the perfect life. Crucially, however, they must never get everything they picture. That is why luxuries often take on displaced meaning. Glamour gives the displaced meaning visual form, making it beautiful and real. Second, the attention on the glamour of luxury goods as a bridge to ideals is connected to the glamour icon who is simultaneously a consumer of these luxury goods and a producer of cultural goods. Glamour icons including the courtesan of the late 19th century, the actress of the 1930s' Hollywood golden age and today's celebrities appear to efface the traces of production and create fetishist images in culture. Through this artificial principle, the commodity-cum-glamour icon comes to life as a splendid image of spectacle. Third, masquerade and seduction were analysed from an angle of sexual fetishism. A magnificent image of masquerade as sexual fetishism is often equated with femininity, especially in Hollywood movies, because the artificial seduction of the feminine -namely glamour- can be effected by the absence or silence of being. That is to say, the aesthetic revelation of femininity coincides with the fleshing out of artificial signs. Masquerade and the seduction of the feminine are connected with glamour's artificial sensuality from this point. Fourth, since 1980's when homosexuality as sexual deviation resurfaced as a hot topic, sexual ambiguity and bisexual image have gained attention as perverse sexuality. Next came queer theory, which reduced gender itself to a matter of surface rather than depth. According to queer theory, gender itself can be revealed as a kind of drag act. Drag's imitative performance may reveal that womanliness is just about 'dragging up'. Queerness as a decadent play makes a connection with the wicked origins of glamour. From these characteristics, four aesthetic values were deduced: ostentatious luxury and mysterious idolatry by commodity fetishism, artificial sensuality and playful queerness by sexual fetishism.
