It's good to know that even in the recession luxury brands are progressing, making money, are evolving in terms of digital developments, web 2.0 and are creating a story (all about the heritage and history of the brand-see previous blog entry!)
Here are the top 5, list from Millward Brown
1.Louis Vuitton
2.Hermes
3.Gucci
4.Chanel (it wouldnt be the same without it)
5.Hennessy (LVMH-owned cognac brand managed to creep in)
