Concept:
The image and reputation of a nation are reflected in its creative industries, and are in turn produced and promoted by them. In this context, fashion plays a role of primary importance, both for its link with costume, art and intangible cultural heritage, and for its ability to act as an “ambassador” of a nation or region.
The symbolic market of national image and reputation today is also – perhaps primarily – negotiated in the world of digital communication. In fact, the digital transformation deeply involves all creative industries. The fashion world is experiencing this digital transformation on three levels:
– At the level of industrial production, from design to production and logistics, facing new challenges of economic, environmental and social sustainability;
– At the level of marketing and sales, both with e-commerce and with the hybridization of the physical store, in the so-called “omnichannel” interaction with various stakeholders;
– In the formation of styles and trends, defining from time to time what is, or is no longer, “fashionable,” in a constant dialogue between actors in the fashion sector, institutions, and markets.
