Today’s luxury consumers have increasingly busy life styles want the stores to come to them

Trunk shows; privately held fashion shows, where the new collection is presented before being available in a store.

Pre-season; an extension of the trunk show. The difference lies in the fact that these shows are mostly held by invitations from the brands. Their focus lies on sub-collections launched before the main season’s complete collection.

Post-season sales; the equivalent to price discounts held by ‘mass-range’brands. In the luxury sectors these events are private and mostly by invitation. They include the sales of the collection of the previous season.

Personal stylist shopping; is a personal stylist who buys clothes for a client. This has existed since decades, both in the luxury and in the nonluxury sector, but is now more and more required by a broader consumer base.

The shopping lunch: This method is rather new and mixes the art of entertaining and socializing with shopping in a private event. The products presented include ‘pre-order-only goods’ and goods that are not yet in the stores.

Outlet shopping villages: Already established in the ‘mass-range brand market’, but rather new in the luxury sector. The contrast here is that the names of the malls have no connection to the ‘brand names’. The ‘luxury brands’ do not provide the addresses of those outlet stores in their advertising media.

On the heels of the closing Alexander McQueen “Savage Beauty” exhibit in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that the exhibit drew in 661,509 visitors.

The Savage Beauty exhibit is the most-visited among the exhibitions curated by the Met’s Costume Institute since its inception in 1946.

In the three months that the exhibit ran, the museum gained 23,000 new members, which is more than double the same time last year.

The design, detail and craftsmanship that go into the making of luxury goods are now being highlighted in museums around the world.

Venues like a museum can demonstrate the value of a brand in a more sophisticated, cultural and less marketing-oriented situation.

In addition, as new markets emerge, brands need to ensure that the new pool of affluent consumers understand the brand history and associate the brand with luxury.
