Le aziende di moda hanno adattato i loro modelli di business ai numerosi cambiamenti degli ultimi decenni, come la competitività internazionale e l'innovazione tecnologica. Oggi, grazie ai social media, i consumatori sono sempre connessi e più informati rispetto al passato. Il marketing tradizionale ha lasciato il posto al marketing digitale, così come il branding è diventato online branding. Inoltre, i consumatori vogliono che le aziende di moda forniscano sempre nuovi vestiti di tendenza. A volte le aziende uniscono le loro capacità attraverso collaborazioni per creare prodotti originali. Molti sono i casi in cui i fast fashion lavorano con stilisti di lusso e questo tipo di partnership è meglio conosciuto come collaborazione “high-low”. Queste partnerships insieme ai social media hanno aiutato a democratizzare la moda, che oggi è per qualsiasi tipo di consumatore. In questo scenario, la presente tesi mira a studiare il ruolo dei social media nel promuovere le collaborazioni. Una content analysis descrittiva sul caso reale di H&M è proposta, concentrata su cinque delle collezioni di co-branding di maggior successo realizzate dal retailer svedese nell'ultimo decennio.
