- This paper approaches the ways in which fashion and design-based industrial actors contribute to creating images and myths that support global-city status. It is suggested that multi-channel systems of brand building and differentiation exist at regional and local levels, supportive of, and constituted by, cultural industries. The Italian city of Milan is used as a case study to show how the city is an arena where different brand channels are negotiated and formed to service fashion and design branding. For cultural industries, these systems are vital regional sources of advantage and necessary complements to other localized phenomena such as industrial agglomerations and clusters.
