Abstract

The social constructionist theory of art states that the value of art and luxury brand design is constructed by social interactions. It distinguishes between an independent "reality" and a socially constructed "reality," in which meanings can differ. However, research on luxury fashion brands mainly focuses on consumers' reality and rarely examines the topic through a social constructionist lens. This paper looks at the impact of worldwide luxury fashion "designers’ reality" on "consumers’ reality” when evaluating the brand. Three studies investigated how consumers and designers perceive premium and luxury brand design.
