This article investigates how fashion companies build their relationships with digital influencers (DIs), a new group of cultural intermediaries who are increasingly central to brand communication strategies. Scholars have mostly studied DIs’ role in influencing the market, but largely neglected the process through which they build their work. Through a qualitative inductive research directed at 21 Italian fashion companies, we describe the process through which companies fabricate the authenticity work, while collaborating with DIs. By taking the overlooked perspective of the company brand owner, we identify the underlying dynamics of achieving co-fabricated authenticity, unpacking the mechanisms through which companies select DIs, shape the connections and regulate the reciprocity with them. Our findings highlight how companies and DIs’ practices become intertwined, with the commodity of authenticity being constructed at the crossroads between the former’s commercial needs and the latter’s grassroots narratives and practices. ‘Co-fabricated authenticity’ ultimately emerges as the result of the work of those actors who are engaged in managing the authenticity or processes of authentication of marketable goods: the intangible and ephemeral value of authenticity is made tangible and co-produced through the collaboration between brands and cultural intermediaries such as DIs.

After digitalization, both scholars and practitioners found that luxury companies, which have invested in this transformation, not only have increased their revenues, but have also improved customer satisfaction. Luxury companies have reached a greater number of consumers worldwide, but the communication pillars have been preserved. In the near future, luxury companies will have to deal with the effects of COVID-19. Most likely, some of these changes will be a boost of the online shopping; a return to fewer purchases, of valuable items; and the need of an integrated shopping experience. The aim of the chapter is to show how luxury brands have embraced digital channels without losing their pillars. This chapter also aims to show that luxury companies have successfully invested in customer education and that consumers have adapted their behaviour to new touch points with the brand. Finally, this chapter aims to investigate new approaches to integrate the physical and the digital channels and the implications of COVID-19 on the communication strategies of luxury firms.
