Resumo: |
The aim of this paper is luxury. The word from Latin origin Luxux, refers to abundance, refinement. Until the XVIII century, luxury had a negative connotation by being considered the cause of the sadness and decadence of the people, being considered expenditure beyond necessity. Although the definitions of luxury are ephemeral, the concept appeared in France during the reign of Luis XVI. Then, the bourgeoisie, in the age of modernity, has made use of the luxury to show economic majority. To date, luxury is linked to pleasure, pomp, desire, rarity, good taste, elegance. With the advent of the globalized conglomerates, which detain the most renowned sector brands, the luxury market became highly profitable, available to a growing number of customers who can afford to buy extremely expensive products on demand, or just a scent, wherein both of them provide the magic of the segment; magic which, is to be exploited in the advertisements. In the view of this context, which demands for careful investigations, the purpose of this study was to explore the multiple perspectives of luxury: its origin, meaning and reframing over time, the market, the tendencies, as well the administrative preponderance of globalized conglomerates, its democratization and modernization. Now this matter regards the nature of semiotic attributes on which the luxury brands rely to keep loyalty of their customers. Our hypothesis is that the consumption of luxury became a sign of prestige and differentiation. In contemporary society, luxury is responsible for providing differentiated status to those who wear it. There is not consumption that is not coupled to the enticement of advertisement. The luxury brands cultivate their tradition, pointed out in their advertisements; the symbolic attributes of the products that they make available. Due to being considered as the maison of the most prestigious and feature in the segment of the luxury, Louis Vuitton was taken as corpus of the present work. To develop it, the most important authors of the literature available about the luxury theme were referred to, as well as the pieces of information about the historical evolution of the chosen brand. Starting with the analysis of the brand, since its origin, to the present days, it was possible to determine the transformation that occurred in the luxury segment, as well as the role of the advertising in this process. The communication of luxury products exploits the magic side of the goods that it supplies, enhancing the users prestigious, by acting as a kind of extended ego. Through the application of Charles Sanders Peirce semiotics in one of two ads of the advertising campaign called Journey, of Louis Vuitton, whose themes are the trips of personalities who mark their field of work, it was possible to conclude that there was a transformation in the advertising messages of the goods: until 2007, Louis Vuitton used models with little human expression and emphasized the product as the main character of the narrative; after the Journey campaign, the strategy of communication was the brand humanization, linking itself with humanitarian causes, reframing luxury through values like altruism, benevolence, drafting their features of tradition and rarity, however, minimizing the aspects connected to pomposity |
