The luxury apparel segment has grown globally at a pace of almost 15% a year since
2003, far outstripping the growth rate of more mainstream apparel sectors. This
apparent contradiction of basic macroeconomics is due to changes in human behaviour,
as well as a convergence of trends and tastes of many disparate cultures. As a
result, the luxury apparel sector has adapted to this and proactively sets the
trends for the rest of the industry.

There are many aspects to this dynamic market, such as the strong polarisations of
new buyers in certain product types. Because of this, the report analyses several
subdivisions of the market such as footwear and apparel; apparel is further
subdivided into clothes, outerwear, formalwear, jeanswear, lingerie, and other types
as needed to give the best possible view of the market's historical and extrapolated
trends.

This third edition report provides a comprehensive analysis of the luxury apparel
sector, including the latest, strengths and challenges of the market, a review of
the major players and the global market landscape, and market values 2003-2014 by
sector for the key regions.

Chapter coverage:

Executive summary

We provide an overview of the sector, including market definitions, the current
state of the market, trends and new markets to watch and what this means for the
future.

Chapter one - Main players

We have identified the major global luxury apparel players, based on parameters such
as total yearly revenue, brand recognition, and number of global employees. Key
company information and data is provided for Bulgari, Burberry, Calvin Klein,
Chanel, Christian Dior Couture, Coach, Compagnie Financiere Richemont. Escada,
Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co and Versace.

Chapter two - The overall strength of the luxury apparel market

Luxury apparel, following the trend in globalised tastes, transcends national and
cultural boundaries as well as social class. These products are true universal
icons, with the largest players such as Versace or Gucci instantly identifiable -
and coveted - by actual or aspiring jetsetters from Abu Dhabi to Zurich. This
chapter looks at how the sector has evolved and the recipe for success.

Chapter three - Company case studies

In order to highlight the growth of the luxury market online and pinpoint successful
strategies in the market segment, this chapter offers two in depth case studies that
exemplify the journey that a luxury apparel brand takes from inception to global
pre-eminence - LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA and Polo Ralph Lauren. We also
list the top 10 luxury brands by brand equity (US$bn).

Chapter four - How retail fits with brand strategies

Higher operational costs and overheads, such as shipping charges, as well as greater
competition, are representing a real challenge for luxury apparel 'brick and mortar'
retailers. This chapter looks at the challenges and issues faced by retailers in
this sector, how the current state of the economy has affected the market and
strategies for the push into online retail.

Chapter five - Challenges of selling luxury apparel

Luxury brands, in particular luxury apparel, encounter unique difficulties when
selling. These are attributed to the medium used to attract potential customers, the
current socio-economic climate, celebrity competition, and illegal activities, all
of which are discussed in this chapter.

Chapter six - Market landscape

Globally, the luxury apparel market, which in this report's market data and analysis
consists of men's, women's and children's accessories, clothing, jewellery, watches
and leather goods, has been one of significant growth, and this trend is expected to
continue well into the future. This chapter looks at luxury apparel market values by
sector for the United States, European Union, and the emerging BRIC countries.

Chapter 7 - Conclusion

The report deconstructs this very dynamic industry by means of industry data and
profiles of the apparel and footwear industry, as well as deconstructions of the
marketing strategies of the five design houses, historical trends and extrapolations
on the future of the market. This chapter concludes the reports findings.
