This study examines how art direction, traditionally employed in disciplines such as cinema, theatre, advertising, and digital media, has recently emerged as a significant tool within the fashion industry. In the context of the digital age, art direction no longer remains confined to visual aesthetics alone; it now encompasses strategic functions such as brand identity formation, digital storytelling, and the construction of cultural engagement.Through an analysis of the Instagram strategies of three leading fashion houses—Jacquemus, Balenciaga, and Louis Vuitton—this study reveals how art direction has acquired new narrative, cultural, and emotional dimensions. Rather than becoming obsolete, art direction has evolved into a more experiential and multilayered practice. Digital platforms do not simply displace art direction as a "decorative visual discipline"; rather, they expand its scope, introducing interdisciplinary frameworks and enabling the creation of multifaceted narratives within contemporary consumer culture. Technologies such as augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and data-driven aesthetic tools have accelerated this transformation. These technologies now play critical roles not only in the production process but also in shaping the emotional connection between the brand and its audience. Ultimately, art direction is redefined as both a form of aesthetic construction and a strategic narrative tool that communicates fluently in the language of digital culture.
