- Abstract
- Recently, the fashion and luxury industry has received considerable backlash from cultural appropriation. However, some brands have succeeded at leveraging the effects of the phenomenon as a cultural collaboration. When does cultural appropriation lead to a bad brand attitude? Supported by the literature about cultural appropriation and cultural co-branding in the fashion industry, this study examines the moderation effect of ethnic congruency on the perception of cultural appropriation with a focus on Colombian culture. The results show no significant effect on ad evaluation, brand evaluation, and purchase intention, and are discussed based on the findings.
