Unfortunately, it does lose some of the things that make trunk shows "special" and "exclusive," such as the party-like atmosphere and invitation-only exclusivity. Still, it does open the designer's collection up to a wider audience which can be very beneficial. Perhaps this is a way that designers can use their social media presence? Making trunk show videos available to their "fans" or followers" only would maintain a bit of their exclusivity and allow the designer to send out invites of a sort. They could also offer some sort of incentive to buy, such as a special gift with purchase, which would again retain some of the exclusivity and add a bit of the special personal touches that trunk shows have! The thing I really like about the video you chose is that it almost takes online shopping to the next level, you get to see how the garment moves on a live model, and what it looks like from every angle. It truly has the potential to be a great tool for designers!<br /><br /><br />Excellent post!<br />CaitlinCaitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883541925213263980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096175322127053730.post-11658679266579605802012-04-09T14:19:08.665-07:002012-04-09T14:19:08.665-07:00Online trunk shows are absolutely a natural evolut...Online trunk shows are absolutely a natural evolution of the times.
