Fashion branding is more than just advertising. It helps to
encourage the purchase and repurchase of consumer goods from the
same company. While historically fashion branding has primarily
focused on consumption and purchasing decisions, recent scholarship
suggests that branding is a process that needs to be analyzed from
a style, luxury, and historical pop cultural view using critical,
ethnographic, individualistic, or interpretive methods.
