Over the last decade, collaborations between luxury brands and contemporary artists have gone beyond mere artistic partnerships towards a new kind of luxury branding.
PARIS – Art and fashion have always developed side by side, for fashion, like art, often gives visual expression to the cultural zeitgeist. During the 1920s, Salvador Dalí created dresses for Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiapparelli. In the 1930s, Ferragamo’s shoes commissioned designs for advertisements from Futurist painter Lucio Venna, while Gianni Versace commissioned works from artists such as Alighiero Boetti and Roy Lichtenstein for the launch of his collections. Yves Saint Laurent’s vast art collection, recently auctioned at Christie’s in Paris, testified to his great love of art and revealed the influence of a variety of artists on his own designs.
In the 1980s, relationships between luxury brands and artists were advanced when Alain Dominique Perrin created the Fondation Cartier. In the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain, a book marking the foundation’s 20th anniversary, Perrin says he makes “a connection between all the different sorts of arts, and luxury goods are a kind of art. Luxury goods are handicrafts of art, applied art.”

Dear Members,
I would like to invite you to take part in a worldwide panel of luxury professionals to better understand the HR issues that face people working in our industry at a time of great upheaval and change. Your views will help us discover to what extent we have things in common across sectors and markets and how we can make the most of our careers and businesses.
By answering our short survey, you will help to build our first ever state-of-the-industry LS Report and highlight key issues in areas that affect us all: recruitment, executive search, training and human resources. Please be as honest and open as you like; your responses will be treated as confidential and your privacy will be honoured.. We will only use the aggregate of the community’s anonymous responses to communicate our findings back to the Luxury Society Community.
As a gesture of gratitude to LS members for taking the time to participate, the first 100 respondents will receive a free job posting on Luxury Society, valued at €490.

We are eager to hear your thoughts.
