 ABSTRACT
(Text: Arial, Text Style: Bold face, Font size 24, Centre)

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.
