The radical behavioral differences between luxury and mainstream branding

MakeUp in LosAngeles 2020

A semiotic analysis will identify luxury’s two great obsessions during MakeUp in LosAngeles and discuss the resulting approaches and themes that characterize luxury brands. It will define a clear approach to building luxury brands: starting with brand world and experiences, distilled down to packaging. A close analysis, packed with examples will explore the differences in strategy and design behavior, visual and verbal language.

The MakeUp in LosAngeles team is looking forward to welcoming you February 11&12, 2020 at the Los Angeles Convention Center for an amazing 5th edition!
