This dissertation investigates and describes the concept of brand extension strategies within the luxury
fashion sector. The study examines the differences between approaches adopted by haute couture and
luxury brands, as currently there is little written on the subject. The topic was chosen as the relevance of
haute couture to today „s fashion industry is now being questioned. Couture run away shows incur huge
losses and due to the reduction in customers, the industry is shrinking . Consequently, it has become a
promotional tool for products brought about through brand extension strategies. The haute couture brands
are competing to retain market share against their global counterparts- who are expanding into further
unrelated areas. This dissertation examines how haute couture brands could compete successfully without
losing their exclusive status.
