Fashion & Luxury Brand Translation
Brand copy, campaign materials, press releases, editorial content, lookbooks, and retail communication for fashion houses, luxury brands, and their international markets.
About this service
Fashion translation is not about converting words. It is about whether the text sounds right when it lands in the target market. A brand voice that has taken years to build in French needs to arrive in Italian or Japanese without losing the tone, the register, or the cultural resonance. Literal translation almost always fails this test. We work with translators who have professional backgrounds in luxury communications, fashion journalism, and retail marketing in their respective markets. For campaign copy and editorial content we often produce multiple alternatives for brand review, since the choice between two options can define how the text ultimately performs. Our fashion translation work covers brand manifestos, seasonal campaign copy, product descriptions for e-commerce and print catalogues, social media content, press releases for fashion week, buyer notes, supplier communications in multiple languages, and in-store and point-of-sale materials. For Japanese, Korean and Arabic we apply specific register conventions that differ significantly from European languages and that require a translator with native fluency in those markets and genuine familiarity with how luxury is communicated there.
