What Distinct A Fashion LookBook From A Fashion Campaign

Most Fashion Brands confuse fashion campaigns and lookbook. However, this two can be intertwine depending on the concept and content of the campaign and what it is said to achieve.

Recent times, we’ve had designers contradicting their audience or target market with these two words LOOKBOOKS and CAMPAIGNS. In simple words,

 Campaigns are usually done to convey a message or the inspiration behind the collection. They usually entail more details as compared to the lookbooks. Fashion campaigns could be for editorial purposes such as magazine spreads and website features. They are just like fashion adverts. THEY ARE TO SELL THE IMAGE OF THE BRAND.

Lookbooks are mostly done after campaigns are shot for fashion brands. They are simply in nature and usually do not require a lot to be done. With lookbooks, attention is paid more on the clothes and fabrics than the looks of the models and the shoot set. THE ARE TO SHOW NEW COLLECTION FROM A FASHION BRAND.
