Creating a new market online
The Digital Marketing Magazine explains How Social Media and its Influencers are Driving Fashion in the article written by journalist Autumn Wilberg. It explains the creation of a new market interaction where there is a direct relation between brands and their customers through social medial networks, where influencers are the main catalysts of this new advertising technique. Instagram is one of the most adopted social media networks by brands and users for fashion marketing purposes, since it has shown the most user interaction compared to other platforms.

“Instagram has become a platform for fashion brands to connect with their audience directly, rather than through a catwalk show or print advertising campaign. This encourages brands to think more about ‘real’ people, with different bodies, skin tones and fashion preferences — it’s opened a whole new world for fashion marketers.”
