An up-and-coming label has just as much chance of success as an established fashion house. Some brands like Gucci are adapting, and adapting fast.

A millennial or Gen Z customers is really not looking at these attributes. The appeal of a brand for them lies in just how much it resonates with them, how it can be made their own. As luxury brands explore how best to align their brand message with that of their very new and vastly different audience, it might be time to also realign their messaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"drivers-for-inclusivity-in-fashion\"><\/span><b>Drivers For Inclusivity In Fashion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-drives-brands-to-want-to-be-more-inclusive\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What drives brands to want to be more inclusive?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One major reason for brands thinking about inclusivity is demand from the consumers themselves.<\/span><\/span><\/span>Social conditioning made it difficult for models to be anything bigger than a size 2. Indeed, some luxury brands have received flak for not catering to women beyond size 6, which excludes most customers. Today\u2019s generation of shoppers have been brought up to believe that they can achieve anything they want. This increased confidence has given them the mindset needed to question norms- particularly when they\u2019re going to be spending on these norms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5300\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Open-Style-2016-Fellows-768x365-300x143.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Open-Style-2016-Fellows-768x365-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Open-Style-2016-Fellows-768x365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Braceworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the beauty industry, discrimination has persisted in some very subtle ways. Revlon introduced the polished ambers makeup collection for women of color, but even that was only in response to a smaller player who saw the need first by virtue of being women of color. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More recently, Rihanna\u2019s Fenty Beauty and Fashion brand she created with LVMH has been ringing all the right bells because of just how much diversity it advocates for. It is also a sign of how much an industry can move in a span of few years as long as they have the right market information to work with.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The streetwear movement, and particularly the rise of luxury streetwear, has been a defining movement in inclusive fashion. For one, streetwear does not discriminate based on gender, size, racial identity, and so on- it is simply made for everyone. This powerful message has also translated successfully in the luxury segment. Because of its universal appeal, streetwear is the perfect collection for luxury brands looking to enter new markets.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mention must be made here of agencies that drove the inclusivity trend forward much before the market was aware of it. Oldushka only signs models who are above the age of forty-five while No Agency hires models who are pregnant, do not fit into any size molds, and are as unique in their personality as possible.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the voices for inclusivity grow louder, more and more brands look to hire from agencies that have made it their job to be inclusive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5301\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.09.30-PM-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.09.30-PM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.09.30-PM-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.09.30-PM.png 809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"luxurys-brush-with-inclusivity\"><\/span><b>Luxury\u2019s Brush With Inclusivity<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luxury fashion is no longer the domain of the privileged. Brands have been going all out in an attempt to democratise themselves, and distinguish themselves in more inclusive ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far back as the fall of 2017, New York Fashion Week saw luxury fashion brands channeling themes that were typically considered \u2018minority.\u2019 Adut Akech Bior became the Chanel Bride, and she closed the Fall \u201818 runway show. This Sudanes descent model was handpicked by Karl Lagerfeld himself to represent the brand, joining the ranks of Cara Delevingne and Alek Wek.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5302\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/download.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/download.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/download-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/download-683x1024.jpeg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Vogue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2017 was also the year dreadlocks made their runway debut in Dior\u2019s Fall show, and Versace brought in models of diverse ethnicities in their \u2018longest advertising image ever.\u2019 For the first time in over twenty years, Egyptian- American model Anok Yai opened the Prada show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this while, one brand thought long and hard about how it could take inclusivity to its audience. Tommy Hilfiger launched a new collection in 2018 aimed at ease of wearing and changing for patrons who use wheelchairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do all of these gestures mean? For one, luxury fashion is defining inclusive fashion on its own terms. Each fashion house has a different way of interpreting inclusivity and bringing it to the forefront. And for several brands, the buck doesn\u2019t stop there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-inclusivity-mean\"><\/span><b>What Does Inclusivity Mean?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does it mean to be an inclusive brand? From just the four examples above, we\u2019ve seen how different luxury brands have interpreted it differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadly, there seems to be little to no consensus on what it means to be an inclusive fashion brand. There\u2019s also the fact that since it isn\u2019t an industry standard yet, different consumers groups may interpret it differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5303\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.16.48-PM-300x217.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.16.48-PM-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.16.48-PM-768x556.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.16.48-PM.png 809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step, then, for any luxury brand looking to be inclusive is to bring in authenticity into the equation. For example, just having a diverse and cohesive team that prevents an inclusivity faux-pas before it happens can be considered inclusivity. Internal diversity is a trait worth valuing and one that all brands can work towards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"brands-as-changemakers\"><\/span><b>Brands As Changemakers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands like Gucci have gone one step ahead, and made one of its strongest critics &#8211; Dapper Dan as its Changemakers Brand Ambassador. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By bringing him to the table as an equal partner and addressing his concerns, Gucci has proved that it is opening itself up as an inclusive brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brand has also instituted a $5 million fund that will support causes that work towards empowering people of color in North America. A similar program is also set to be rolled out in the Asia Pacific region. The scholarship program will help more people access colleges and degrees that can help them succeed in the fashion industry and a Changemakers Council will draft policies on what it means to be inclusive in the fashion industry at large and for luxury fashion labels in particular.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5304\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.23.09-PM-197x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.23.09-PM-197x300.png 197w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2019-07-29-at-2.23.09-PM.png 446w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: I-D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These efforts are not just another marketing activity, nor a half-hearted attempt at making changes. Management teams have come together to learn, and come up with scalable solutions that may very well define inclusivity in retail itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prada too has developed its own in-house diversity council with Ava DuVernay and Theaster Gates at its helm. This council is expected to help drive Prada\u2019s inclusion initiatives both within and outside the company. As a starting point, the council will work closely with diverse communities and help fashion industry find academic and industry opportunities irrespective of who they are and where they come from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miuccia Prada said in this context, \u201cIn addition to amplifying (the) voices of color within the industry we will help ensure that the fashion world is reflective of the world in which we live.\u201d That\u2019s one small step for Prada and one giant leap for the fashion industry. What she is essentially saying is that catalogs and editorials will seek inspiration from the people who will be buying and using these products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"reputation-luxury-and-inclusivity\"><\/span><b>Reputation, Luxury And Inclusivity<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As brands begin to realign with current cultural forces, they face every luxury brand\u2019s arch-nemesis : doubt. Consumers can quickly tell the difference between an authentic endeavor and lip service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps no one else has been able to dive right to the heart of the issue and find a solution as well as Pierpaolo Piccioli has. The creative director of Valentino understands that inclusivity isn\u2019t an ask for more models of color or more models who are proud of their body type. It is, instead, a call to celebrate the immense, mind-boggling diversity that defines us as people. Take a moment to think about it- there are now over seven billion of us, and no two people are exactly alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the final day of last year\u2019s Paris Fashion Week, Valentino\u2019s haute couture show was notable not only because over forty of its 65 models were of color, but also because every model had been dressed and styled to do maximum justice to their individual features. Diversity was on full display in everything from skin color to ethnicity, and each look was named after the person who created it, thus showcasing the voices in fashion that often go unheard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s my fantasy of a world where we can all live together,\u201d Mr. Piccioli said after the show. That, in our opinion, sums up the very core of inclusivity- a world in which we can be ourselves and express ourselves to the fullest, without fear of ridicule and backlash. What better industry than fashion to get the movement started?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">7<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span> When we think luxury fashion, we think exclusivity!
