As I aim to become a costume designer for theatrical productions, I’m diving deep into the fascinating intersection of fashion and economics this semester. One concept that has stood out to me is elasticity—specifically, how the uniqueness of a design influences its demand. In costume design (and fashion as a whole), there’s a delicate balance between following trends and infusing your creative vision. The more unique and innovative a piece is, the more demand can become inelastic. If my designs stand out, customers (or, in my case, the director) may be less sensitive to pricing. #Mereditheconomics

The connection between the business of movies and the business of fashion is blurring, and how! Festival de Cannes #Cannes 🎥 What's the connection between the Festival de Cannes, traditionally simply a movie-watching fortnight, and the uptick in fashion? As of 2024, Saint Laurent, under Kering, is heavily investing in film production, co-producing Jacques Audiard's "Emilia Perez" and other films. This represents a shift from traditional product placement to deeper involvement in cinema. The luxury brand aims to connect with consumers through film, leveraging the platform for soft power rather than direct commercial gain, a very non-traditional approach to #marketing. The approach aligns with Kering's long-term investment in cinema, highlighted by its Women in Motion program and acquisition of a stake in Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Historically a showcase for movies, Cannes Film Festival has become an unofficial fashion week with its red carpet and seaside photo ops. Chopard has thus chosen the time to unveil a #hautecouture line, similar to what Versace did last year with a collaboration with Dua Lipa, highlighting the festival as a convergence point for influential figures in the industry. The choice of #Cannes for these premieres reflects a strategic move to leverage the festival's high-profile audience and media coverage. #Fashion #FashionBusiness #CannesFilmFestival #FestivaldeCannes 🔗 Read more in The New York Times.

Today’s article has been living in the back of our mind for quite some time but we never got around to do it, for a reason or another. Yesterday we finally changed our mind, so we're here to tell you about one of our favorite red carpets of the year, thanks to the fabulous #LucyBoynton and her latest movie project: #TheGreatestHits.

Inspiringly, Hollywood red carpets are stage for fashion’s grandest displays. Moreover, ach year, celebrities must choose between timeless vintage vibes and bold modern edge looks. Also, this ongoing debate shapes trends and influences public perception. So. let’s explore the elements, notable examples, and the impact of both styles in this great fashion debate. https://lnkd.in/gzUf_HDB
