Brand Positioning MAP

This brand positioning map shows us that D&G is, non surpassingly, in the high price range, but we also see it is in the classic branch and not modern where we can find some of D&G's competitors such as YSL or LV.

Recently they were both accused of tax fraud for more than a billion euros. They also both admitted that they believe a family shouldn't be made through segregate ways but the natural way and therefor were against same sex couple having family, which was shocking as the former designer are both part of the LGBTQ community and used to date. Last but not least, they were also accused of being racist after an ad of a Chinese model eating spaghetti with chopsticks aired, their response didn't help has they became angry and aggressive toward the country of China, but they insist on the fact they weren't racist.  Because of its image and the designers problematic situation, I decided to take this brand and try my best to propose an idea to possibly h...
