I'm starting this thread because I became interested in this obsession with a brand's country through promotion.
Dolce & Gabbana have, for a number of seasons, been promoting not just the clothes etc, but the idea of an Italian life wearing Dolce & Gabbana. Their latest show had relatively normal Italian people walking the runway instead of models.
Why is there this massive push to sell this brand identity? I'm interested to know if there are any benefits brands have from boasting their country of origin, apart from a typical association of everything made in Italy is fine and good quality.
Below is an image from the latest Dolce & Gabbana campaign; a very Spanish new campaign from Loewe and the new Fendi campaign shot in an ex-vineyard outside of Florence.
