品牌行銷 – H&M vs. Karl Lagerfeld
其實H&M的品牌概念是為各個年齡層的消費者以最平實的價格提供可滿足各種場合需求的頂尖流行時尚
因此以品牌概念而言是沒有年齡區分的, 大部份廣告也都是針對各年齡層的女性
但如小N說的, 因為品牌行銷策略和店面擺設所營造的親民度, 使得它的形象感覺起來較Zara年輕而少了份高級時尚感
H&M為了鞏固它在Fast fashion 裡流行指標的地位, 長期以來與許多各界知名的時尚界人士合作
而其中最可稱為在當年時尚界投下最大震憾彈的一次合作便是2004年H&M與Karl Lagerfeld的合作
Karl Lagerfeld雖然在之前也曾經與GAP及其他廠商合作過, 但大多是站台性質
像這次為平價品牌親自操刀設計還是頭一遭,
因此對雙方而言, 這次的合作都具有極重大的意義
在廣告上也特別強調這個讓時尚界人士為之震憾的消息
在合作初期, Karl Lagerfeld表示, 未來以平價提供高級時尚將會是主流趨勢
“My concept of ready-to-wear today at whatever level is that it has to be as good as the most expensive brand. Design is very important, and design is not a question of price anymore. H&M has made inexpensive desirable.” – Focus On Style
在這個消息公佈後, 所有媒體都開始倒數計時, 全系列在當天就搶購一空
但其實在合作後期, Karl Lagerfeld對H&M是表達強列的不滿, 甚至表示以後再也不會和H&M合作
“They did not make the clothes in sufficient quantities. I find it embarrassing that H&M let down so many people… I don’t think that is very kind, especially for people in small towns and countries in eastern Europe. It is snobbery created by anti-snobbery.”
Lagerfeld was also offended by the chain’s decision to produce the clothes in larger sized than he had envisaged. “What I designed was fashion for slender and slim people, that’s the original idea.”
- Vougue
因此, 這次合作的代表性意義其實大於實質效果,
但也為H&M奠定了在時尚界不可動搖的地位及日後與其他設計師合作的基礎
Karl Lagerfeld for H&M

哇有我的名字耶!
阿木啊我紅了~!!
Lagerfeld的第一段話實在是講得太好了
畢竟現在實在是太多爆貴但完全沒設計感可言的衣服..
有點本末倒置的感覺
不過他那句”What I designed was fashion for slender and slim people, that’s the original idea.”是怎樣啦! 胖子如我聽到了心裡實在是很北宋ㄟ….=3=
