ConclusionsLuxury fashion brand’s collaboration with a non-luxury brand creates
positive impact on the parent luxury brand if the extension keeps the luxury criteria, and the non-luxury collaborator has a good reputation
Downward brand extension enhances the parent luxury brand if the “luxury” criteria and its qualities and values are maintained
Usually licensing, unless strictly controlled, dilutes the luxury brand as we saw in case of Pierre Cardin
The luxury brands business has to be enhanced for the entire portfolio to be successful
