Affordable Couture

Seeking to broaden appeal, designers turn to collaborations to entice consumers

Implications - With high-end fashion often marketed to a very niche and restricted market audience, efforts to expand consumer interest has prompted couture labels to move toward more accessible marketing tactics. In an effort to broaden overall market appeal, haute fashion labels are turning to collaborative projects to create more affordable designs that people of all classes can enjoy. The merging of high and low-end designs allow brands to expand beyond traditional buyers, combining sophisticated aesthetics with the need for more affordable everyday goods.
