고가의 의류, 가방, 신발 등의 시장을 장악해온 명품 패션브랜드들이 최근 본격적으로 화장품 시장에 뛰어드는 행보를 보이고 있다. 본 연구는 명품 패션브랜드가 화장품브랜드로 확장을 진행하면서 자사의 브랜드 정체성을 화장품브랜드에 어떻게 표출하고 있는지, 화장품 패키지 디자인의 조형적 기호를 분석하고 준상징적 체계를 도출하는 시각적 정체성 분석 방식을 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 화장품브랜드로 명성이 높은 입생로랑과 아르마니 같은 패션 명품브랜드의 대표적 인기 제품군인 쿠션 팩트와 립틴트의 패키지 디자인의 시각기호학적 분석을 시도하였다. 연구분석 결과, 본 연구는 입생로랑과 아르마니 패키지의 조형적 요소가 표출하는 의미론적 자질들을 파악하였으며, 이 자질들이 입생로랑이 지향하는 '고전주의'적 정체성과 아르마니가 지향하는 '바로크'적 정체성의 추구를 드러내는 시각기호로서 활용되고 있음을 발견하였다. 이 연구결과를 토대로 본 연구는 입생로랑의 경우 패션브랜드로서의 브랜드 정체성을 화장품 브랜드의 시각적 정체성에 전이하지 못하고 있는 반면, 아르마니는 패션브랜드로서의 브랜드 정체성을 화장품 브랜드의 시각적 정체성에 효과적으로 전이하는 시각커뮤니케이션 전략을 활용하고 있음을 파악하였다. 이와 같은 두 브랜드의 서로 다른 결과를 통해 본 연구는 명품 패션브랜드들은 물론 국내 패션브랜드들도 화장품 시장으로 영역을 확장하는 과정에서 기존의 브랜드 정체성을 잘 파악하고, 이를 화장품 브랜드의 커뮤니케이션 전략에도 효과적으로 활용하고 있는지를 검토해봐야 할 필요가 있음을 제시하였다.

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.

Branding strategy is important in the hyper-competitive luxury industry. In digitalized market environments, it is critical for luxury brands to transfer their established brand equity from the offline market to the online market. The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationships between offline brand equity (i.e., brand awareness, brand image, and perceived quality)toward online consumer responses, including satisfaction and loyalty, in the context of luxury brands. In addition, this study investigates the moderating effects of offline brand trust on the relationship between offline brand equity and online satisfaction and loyalty. Data was collected via online surveys. For empirical validation of the proposed hypotheses, a structural equation modeling technique was employed. The results show that offline luxury brand awareness, brand image, and perceived quality have a positive effect on consumers' online satisfaction. Also, offline brand image has a positive effect on online consumer loyalty. The results indicate that there is a significant moderating effect of offline brand trust on the relationship between brand image and e-loyalty. The results of the present study provide implications for luxury brand managers and retailers to develop effective online sales strategies.

본 연구는 탐색적 연구로서 패션 제품군에서 명품 브랜드와 비명품 브랜드에 따라 디자인 민감도가 차이가 날 것인가를 검토하고 디자인 민감도가 브랜드 동일시와 함께 제품의 구매의도에 어떠한 영향력을 미칠 것인지를 살펴보았다. 분석결과 디자인 민감도는 명품과 비명품간에 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 구매의도에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 차이가 있었다. 우선 전체 데이타를 살펴본 결과, 브랜드의 디자인 가치와 디자인 추구노력, 추구성향이 구매의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 이미지가 일치하는 것보다는 해당 브랜드의 디자인에 대해 가치를 높이 평가하고 좋은 디자인의 제품을 구매하려는 노력을 많이 하는 사람일수록 패션제품의 구매의도가 높다는 것이다. 명품과 비명품으로 구분하여 브랜드 동일시와 디자인 민감도의 구매의도에 대한 영향을 알아본 결과, 명품의 경우 루이비통 패션제품의 디자인 추구성향이 높은 사람이 구매의도가 높음이 나타났고, 비명품의 경우 쌈지의 디자인이 가치가 있다고 느끼는 사람일수록 쌈지 제품의 구매의도가 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 명품일 경우에는 이미 디자인의 가치에 대해서는 많은 사람들 사이에서 인정되고 인식되어 있으므로 해당 제품의 구매의사결정에 영향을 미치지 않지만, 비명품의 경우에는 브랜드 제품의 디자인이 가치가 있다는 사실부터 인지되어야 구매의도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 밝혀졌다.
