Full textAbstract:
Influencer marketing has become a central aspect within brand’s marketing activities (Kapitan & Silvera, 2016). The former marketing way of including celebrities within marketing purposes (Pringle & Binet, 2005) has in recent years been discussed as digital media influencers (Kapitan & Silvera, 2016). Digital media influencers resulted in social media influencers, where Instagram is one out of the social media which is worldwide used (Influencer Marketing Hub, 2018). Social media influencers are shown to have a significant role for brands in the process of reaching out to consumers (Lin, Bruning & Swarna, 2018) and within the fashion industry, the opinions of fashion influencers tend to weigh heavy within consumers decision making (Loureiro, Costa & Panchapakesan, 2017). However, besides the known influential characteristics of celebrity endorsement (Page Winterich, Gangwar & Grewal, 2018; Tzoumaka, Tsiotsou & Siomkos, 2014), the level of influence of Instagram influencers has mainly been discussed in terms of number of followers (De Veirman, Cauberghe & Hudders, 2017). The purpose of this study is to describe the influential characteristics of an Instagram fashion influencer and its influence on consumers purchase intention for fashion in Sweden. The research method applied for this research was primary data in the form of a survey research and was chosen as it allows to generate data which makes it possible to define correlations between the variables (Bryman & Bell, 2015). The study is based on the theory of consumer purchase intention, celebrity endorsement as well as influencer marketing, and through that, three hypotheses were created: 1) the trustworthiness of an Instagram fashion influencer has positive impact on consumers purchase intention, 2) the expertise of an Instagram fashion influencer has positive impact on consumers purchase intention, 3) the physical attraction of an Instagram fashion influencer has positive impact on consumers purchase intention. The conclusion drawn indicates that the trustworthiness of an Instagram fashion influencer is the only influential characteristic amongst the identified characteristics in this research which impacts consumer purchase intention for fashion in Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
With the increase of social media usage and its relevance for the millennial generation, social media influencers rise as credible sources who influence their followers purchase behaviors. Micro-influencers have up to 400,00 followers and fashion brands are constantly collaborating with them to generate brand awareness. The purpose of this study is to analyze how micro-influencers impact engagement levels on fashion retail brands’ accounts on Instagram and what common visual patterns the posts with higher levels of engagement present. A sample of 817 posts from three different brands were analyzed to provide insight in what kind of posts generates higher engagement levels: motivational posts, product posts, model/catalog, micro-influencer, influencer, or none of the above. A content analysis was conducted and after all the posts were coded, the top 100 with the highest engagement levels were submitted to a frame analysis so common patterns and themes could be recognized among the top engagement posts.

Full textAbstract:
Research questions: How do social media influencers affect fashion purchase intent? How is slow fashion behavior affected by social media influencers? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possible effects that social media influencers have on slow fashion behavior, in addition to explore the effects of social media influencers on fashion purchase intent. Method: This research was conducted through a quantitative study and the data was collected using an online survey. The survey was constructed and distributed in collaboration with a research group at Mälardalen University. Conclusion: This study confirms that influencers have the possibility to influence consumers’ behavior and provides initial insight into how their communities can affect consumers. The study concludes that influencers can persuade consumers to purchase fashion products online. However, there is ambiguity into how much influencers affect consumers. The study showed that the relationship between influencers and their communities is not clear, and especially how the two concepts interact in the way they influence consumers to behave more sustainably. Despite the complex relationship, both have the capability to positively and negatively affect consumers’ slow fashion behavior. While consumers may not employ all behaviors favorable in the slow fashion movement, any positive behavior will make a difference.

Full textAbstract:
El objetivo del presente estudio busca determinar la relación entre las acciones de marketing digital y la intención de compra de carteras de lujo en mujeres de 28 a 39 años del NSE A y B+ en Lima. Dicho tema es de importancia para el marketing de esta industria y el mercado peruano, pues el interés por la moda y las tendencias está incrementándose y el acceso a ello esta creciendo cada vez más de manera virtual.
Las acciones de marketing digital se midieron por medio de las siguientes dimensiones: la presencia en redes sociales implementadas por las marcas de carteras de lujo, el acceso al contenido digital por parte de las mismas y el contacto y seguimiento de influencers reconocidas dentro del ámbito de moda. El estudio demostró que existe una relación positiva entre la presencia en medio sociales y el acceso al contenido digital con la intención de compra de esta categoría de productos. El resultado respecto al seguimiento de influencers fue mixto.
Asimismo, se ha demostrado que la implementación de dichas acciones permite a estas marcas obtener mejor exposición y relación con las clientas. Debido a ello, el contenido –calidad, distribución e información adecuada- es muy importante para consolidar la imagen de marca y el estilo de vida que estas buscan proyectar y que las consumidoras, a su vez, buscan reflejar por medio de la compra.
Además, es importante resaltar la transversalidad del mercado peruano en cuanto al segmento de carteras de lujo; existen distintos tipos de consumidoras -en función del poder adquisitivo- que buscan comprar carteras de lujo y, por ello, es preferible plantear un enfoque aspiracional en la comunicación y las acciones de marketing de las marcas.The objective of this study seeks to determine the relationship between digital marketing actions and the intention to purchase luxury handbags in women between 28 and 39 years of age from the NSE A and B + in Lima. This topic is of importance for the marketing of this industry and the Peruvian market, since interest in fashion and trends are increasing and the access to this information is growing more and more virtually every time. Digital marketing actions were measured through the following dimensions: the presence in social media implemented by luxury handbag brands, access to digital content by them and the contact and monitoring of recognized influencers within the scope of fashion. The study showed that there is a positive relationship between the presence in social media and access to digital content with the intention of purchasing this category of products. The result regarding the following of influencers was mixed. Likewise, it has been shown that the implementation of these actions allows these brands to obtain better exposure and relationship with clients. Due to this, the content –quality, distribution and adequate information- is very important to consolidate the brand image and the lifestyle that they seek to project and that the consumers, in turn, seek to reflect through the purchase. In addition, it is important to highlight the transversality of the Peruvian market in terms of the luxury handbags segment; There are different types of consumers - depending on purchasing power - who seek to buy luxury portfolios and, therefore, it is preferable to propose an aspirational approach to communication and marketing actions for brands.

The present dissertation aims to identify if there is, and how broad can be, the gap between the project created from a strategy for the optimization of a product’s life, and the perception of digital influencers when using fashion products. Initially, an ethnographic approach was applied to reach this objective. The subjects of the research were four digital influencers who, besides consuming, support the dissemination of a consumer culture. A variety of questions related to consumption were important to this research, such as: the ephemerality and permanence of the artifacts, valorizing their symbolic aspects; the construction of identity from clothing; and the role of the researcher who, in the field, also influences the perception of the subjects of the research, as emphasized in the reflexive approaches of ethnography. It was possible to complement the research by expanding it to the application of the cartographic method. I have shown, through analyses, that the actions of the design strategy to optimize the life of fashion products are perceived by the digital influencers from an idea of sustainability. However, these actions are not entirely considered during the use, due to the valorization of the cultural and symbolic aspects, which make this the largest gap among project and use, design and consumer.
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo identificar se há, e quão ampla pode ser, a lacuna entre o projeto desenvolvido a partir da estratégia para otimização da vida de produtos e a percepção das digital influencers no uso dos produtos de moda. Para dar conta deste objetivo, adoto inicialmente uma abordagem etnográfica. Constituíram-se como sujeitos da pesquisa quatro digital influencers, porque além de consumirem, também auxiliam da disseminação de uma cultura de consumo. Questões que advém do consumo, como a efemeridade e a permanência dos artefatos, valorizando os seus aspectos simbólicos; a construção da identidade a partir do vestuário; o papel da pesquisadora, que presente em campo, também é ator que influencia a percepção dos sujeitos de pesquisa, como enfatizado nas abordagens reflexivas da etnografia, foram importantes para esta pesquisa. Foi possível complementar a pesquisa expandindo para a aplicação do método cartográfico. Por meio das análises evidenciei que as ações da estratégia do design para otimizar a vida de produtos de moda são percebidas pelas digital influencers a partir de uma noção de sustentabilidade, contudo não são totalmente consideradas durante o uso devido à valorização dos aspectos simbólicos e culturais fazendo desta a maior lacuna entre projeto e uso, designer e consumidor.

Full textAbstract:
Background: A sustainable economy becomes more and more important for most parts of the society. Especially the fashion industry is being criticized for wasting resources and being non-sustainable. Therefore, some textile producers started to implement programs that are aiming on a reuse of garments. Aims of research: The purpose of this research is to discover how customers can be motivated to return unwanted garments, also considering possible hindering factors. To gather this information it is necessary to build a theoretical framework with customer-based theories. The thesis explored how a second hand multi-brand retailer can take active action in encouraging customers to return unwanted textiles. Method: This research was conducted as an inductive qualitative research. The data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with several second hand retailers. The analysis was carried out following the Giogia method. Results: The thesis revealed that the garment disposal behavior is affected by various influences. Influences on the disposal behavior of garment consumers are personal values and believes. The dispose of unwanted garments is often influenced by an ease of handling and the same behavior is followed over the years simply because individuals are used to a certain garment disposal behavior. The largest hindering factors why customers do not return garments to retailers are caused by a lack of information as well as insufficient transparency. This behavior can be affected by second hand retailers by providing improved communication and a motivation to return garments by offering benefits for the customer. The size of the company does not play a major role.

Innovative technologies and their ability to grow rapidly are known to be a great source of controversy and paranoid reactions amongst people. The aim of this research is to examine the acceptance and perception of the technology of digital supermodels and influencers. This will be done in the global market of end-users where this technology has proliferated or has the potential to emerge. Digital supermodels and influencers were regarded specifically in a marketing context for this research, since the whole essence of their existence is for marketing purposes, and was approached as a new innovative technology. The research was divided into two parts, first was about conducting a questionnaire to analyse people’s acceptance of the technology, more specifically to examine the possible change in their purchasing behaviour. The purpose of the second part of given research was to examine people’s reactions and perception towards this technology through a content analysis of Instagram comments for the Instagram accounts of digital supermodels and influencers. The addressed innovative technology of digital influencers and supermodels is mostly perceived positively or neutrally. The significant amount of neutral positions in both parts of given research states the presence of confusion and the need for answers rather than lack of interest, which is to be addressed by the creators and users of digital avatars in marketing in the fashion industry.

Full textAbstract:
Under det senaste årtiondet har sociala medier använts av mode-influencers till att sprida sina budskap om personlig stil. Med de senaste årens klimatintresse har början till ett skifte skett från att uppmuntra till konsumtion till att i stället skapa medvetenhet om textilindustrins negativa påverkan på miljön. Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att göra en visuell kulturstudie av tre av dessa influencers argumentation genom de filmer de publicerar på Youtube. Den undersöker hur de använder visuell retorik i filmerna för att göra ett trovärdigt intryck och på så vis locka till sig en allt större följarskara och få betalda samarbeten, utan att uppmuntra till onödig konsumtion. I studien ingår sammanlagt nio filmer som publicerades under 2019 och 2020. Filmerna analyseras med hjälp av visuell retorik som kvalitativ metod och tolkas med visuell retorik och produktion av social och kulturell identitet som teoretiska utgångspunkter. En analys av tittarnas kommentarer på filmerna används för att validera resultatet av tolkningen. De tre studerade Youtube-kanalerna ökade sitt antal prenumeranter med i genomsnitt 64 % under den tid som studien pågick och alla tre influencers får betalda samarbeten som de helt eller delvis kan försörja sig på. De undersöker noga de företag de inleder samarbete med och undviker varumärken som inte är accepterade av deras tittare som etiska och miljömässigt hållbara. Alla de tre influencers som ingår i studien använder samma typ av visuell huvudargumentation för att övertyga sina tittare om vikten av en hållbar garderob. De visar exempel på hur de själva kombinerar sina egna kläder på nya sätt för att skapa en personlig stil utan att behöva köpa nytt. Studien visar dock att filmernas innehåll är mindre viktigt än hur trovärdig influencern uppfattas av sina tittare. En tolkning av tittarnas kommentarer ger att de i första hand är intresserade av hur influencern producerar sin identitet med hjälp av kläder och utseende, för att själva inspireras till att hitta sin personliga stil. Genom att efterlikna deras stil kommunicerar de grupptillhörighet med den influencer de följer och får på så sätt del av samma sociala status.During the last decade, fashion influencers have used social media channels to spread the word about personal style. Due to the global focus on the climate change the content has begun to shift from a consumption culture to creating awareness about the negative influence of the textile industry on the environment. The purpose of this study is to examine three of these influencers’ argumentation in the videos they publish on YouTube. It investigates how the influencers use visual rhetoric to make a trustworthy impression to increase the number of followers and get paid sponsorships, without supporting unnecessary consumption. The study investigates a total of nine videos published on YouTube during 2019 and 2020. The visual content is processed using a qualitative method and analysed with a focus on the theoretical perspectives of visual rhetoric and production of social identity. The written follower comments, of the videos, are used to validate the result of the analysis. The three YouTube channels increased the number of followers with an average of 64 % during the study and the influencers are all in paid collaborations that represent all, or a part of, their total income. They thoroughly research the company before adding a new sponsorship and avoid brands that are not accepted by their followers to be ethical and sustainable. All the three influencers participating in the study use the same principal visual rhetoric arguments to convince the followers of the advantage of a sustainable style. They show a vast variety of outfit combinations using the limited amount of clothes in their wardrobes to create a personal style without the need of adding new clothes. The result of the study indicates, however, that the content of the videos is of less importance than how trustworthy the influencer is perceived by the followers. An analysis of the viewer comments suggest that their primary interest is to get inspiration from how the influencer produces identity through dress and appearance. By emulating their personal style, the followers hope to gain membership of the influencer’s community and achieve similar social status.

Full textAbstract:
Assumindo como base teórico-metodológica, os estudos da Arqueologia da Mídia e a perspectiva arqueológica de Michel Foucault, nosso objeto de estudo corresponde à caracterização de um novo perfil profissional no campo da Comunicação, o de blogueira de moda. Estabelecemos, então, como objetivo principal de nossa pesquisa, definir como se deu o processo de profissionalização dos blogs de moda no Brasil. Para tal, ao longo da pesquisa apontamos características próprias das blogueiras de moda e de sua prática, assim como definimos etapas de profissionalização da blogosfera brasileira. A escolha pela pesquisa acerca dos blogs de moda e, mais especificamente, das blogueiras se dá pelo fato de que formatos e modelos de negócio que hoje fazem parte da rotina de outros produtores de conteúdo da internet foram desenhados por essas profissionais-amadoras. Para compreender como se deu esse processo de profissionalização, acompanhamos a produção de 52 blogueiras (por meio de posts nos blogs, vídeos no YouTube e publicações no Instagram), entre os anos de 2014 e 2018, em busca de enunciações sobre sua atividade profissional. Entre os resultados obtidos na pesquisa está a caracterização de quatro etapas de profissionalização da blogosfera de moda: vanguarda, legitimação, institucionalização e profissional. Também pudemos desvelar um ethos profissional das blogueiras que evidencia diferenças entre as profissionais, seus percursos na carreira, motivações e produção.Assuming as a theoretical and methodological basis the studies of Media Archeology and the archaeological perspective of Michel Foucault, our object of study corresponds to the characterization of a new professional profile in the field of Communication; the fashion bloggers. Therefore, we established as the main objective of our research the definition of how the professionalization process of fashion blogs in Brazil took place. Throughout the research we identified characteristics of the fashion bloggers and their practices, as professionals. This research focuses on fashion bloggers because of their importance in establishing new formats and business models for other internet producers. To understand how this process takes place, we analyzed the discursive enunciation of 52 bloggers (through blog posts, YouTube videos and Instagram publications) between 2014 and 2018, searching for statements about their professional activity. Among the results is the characterization of four stages of the process of professionalization in the fashion blogosphere: vanguard, legitimation, institutionalization and professional. We have also been able to unveil a professional ethos of bloggers that shows differences among professionals, their career paths, motivations and production.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo principal determinar los factores de las variables del marketing mix que inciden significativamente en la intención y decisión de compra de mujeres de 18 a 25 años de edad de los NSE A y B de la Zona 7 de Lima Metropolitana (Miraflores, San Isidro, San Borja, Surco, La Molina) en la industria de la moda de prendas de vestir, con un enfoque especial en los influencers como parte de la P de promoción. Para ello, se realizó un estudio con enfoque mixto, ya que fue tanto cualitativo como cuantitativo. Por un lado, se utilizó el análisis factorial para medir la influencia en la intención de compra; y por el otro, el análisis discriminante para medir la influencia en la decisión de compra. Utilizamos esta metodología para medir el impacto de cada uno de los factores de las variables del marketing mix (producto, precio, plaza y promoción) y especialmente para validar si los influencers generan un impacto significativo sobre la intención y decisión de compra como parte de la P de promoción. Se realizó una entrevista a profundidad a un experto del rubro de la moda para validar nuestros objetivos e hipótesis. Asimismo, se realizó un Focus Group para obtener información relevante del segmento. Finalmente, se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra de 415 personas con la que se obtuvo la información necesaria para realizar el análisis estadístico.The main objective of this research is to determine the factors of marketing mix variables that significantly affect purchase intention and decision of women between 18 and 25 years old that belong to the A and B socioeconomic status from seventh zone of Metropolitan Lima (Miraflores, San Isidro, San Borja, Surco, La Molina) in the fashion and clothing industry, with an special focus on influencers as part of promotion P. For this, we make a mixed approach study, since it was both qualitative and quantitative. On one hand, factor analysis was used to measure the influence on purchase intention; and on the other, the discriminant analysis to measure the influence on purchase decision. We use this methodology to measure the impact of each one of the factors of the marketing mix variables (product, price, place and promotion) and especially to validate if influencers generate a significant impact on purchase intention and decision as part of promotion. An in-depth interview was conducted with an expert from the fashion industry to validate our objectives and hypotheses. In addition, a Focus Group was carried out to obtain relevant segment information. Finally, a survey was applied to a sample of 415 people with whom the necessary information was obtained to perform the statistical analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The use of computer-generated images as influencers of consumer opinions and behavior is an emerging advertising strategy. This research investigates the advantages and disadvantages of using computer-generated images (CGI) as influencers of human behavior from the perspective of promoting a brand. The power of electronic word of mouth (social media) and how it is incorporated in computer-generated images used as influencers is discussed as a major factor in consumer decision making. The social media account content of computer-generated images was analyzed by conducting a frame analysis to discern how computer-generated images are portrayed on social media. A frame analysis of 577 social media posts was used to develop a framework for future social media strategies for computer-generated images. CGIs be portrayed as transparent, engaging, and as a socialite. Best practices for using computer-generated images were identified by conducting an interview with a representative of a brand that has collaborated with an influential computer-generated image. Innovation, listening to the consumer voice, and creative control should be prioritized in this growing field of CGIs and CGI partnerships.

Full textAbstract:
Idag finns det en bred variation av influencers, där följarantalet varierar från några tusen till flera miljoner. Storleken på en influencers följarskara är ett väsentligt kriterium för ett företag när man ska välja influencer att samarbeta med. Dock kan det för ett företag vara en fördel att samarbeta med influencers som har ett mindre följarantal, men där denna istället har en närmare relation till sina följare. Det skulle alltså kunna vara så att en influencer med färre följare har större inverkan och att denna procentmässigt skulle kunna bidra till mer försäljning än en influencer med fler följare. Studien syftar till att undersöka om antalet följare en influencer har är en faktor som kan sättas i samband med hur många köp som genomförs vid en influencer-marknadsföring på Instagram. För att besvara detta har en kartläggning och en litteraturstudie genomförts. Studien har analyserat och jämfört 20 stycken unika samarbeten mellan ett utvalt företag i modebranschen och ett antal influencers med fler än 10 000 följare samt ett antal influencers med färre än 10 000 följare. Studiens resultat visade att influencers med färre antal följare hade större räckvidd och att deras inlägg ledde till fler köp i proportion till deras följarantal. Detta har betydelse för framtida samarbeten eftersom en influencer med färre följare många gånger har ett lägre arvode. Detta innebär i längden att företaget kan lägga mindre resurser på denna marknadsföring, men ändå få positiva resultat. Detta behöver dock inte utesluta användandet av influencers med ett större antal följare. Utan som företag bör man innan en kampanj startar, sätta upp mål och utgå ifrån vilken storlek på influencers som bäst passar deras mål.

Full textAbstract:
Det digitala samhället kännetecknas av konstant utveckling och snabb föränderlighet, vilket har skapat rollen influencer: En person som används av företag och varumärken för att marknadsföra produkter eller tjänster. Denna studie fokuserar särskilt på influencerns egen bild av sitt yrke och genom att tematisera frågor utifrån teorier rörande kommersialisering, självpresentation, deltagarkultur och opinionsbildning. I studien undersöks hur tre utvalda svenska influencers inom mode och skönhet på Instagram ser på sin roll i och med kommersialiseringen vilket analyseras utifrån samma teorier inom medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapen som har nämnts ovan. Studien genomförs genom kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer där influencerna själva är utgångspunkten. Genom studien blir det tydligt att förstå hur kommersialiseringen har påverkat mediesamhället och tidigare roller har bytts ut. Kändisar är inte bara längre skådespelare och artister, opinionsledare behöver inte längre vara traditionella medier, en person kan ha olika roller i olika mediesammanhang och annonsering är inte längre något som går från producent till konsument. Utvecklingen av både medier och sociala kanaler har förändrat medielandskapet helt och de gränserna mellan avsändare och mottagare suddas ut. Det är inte bara marknadskommunikationen som har monopol på forskning rörande annonsering och marknadsföring. Avlutningsvis visar studien att influencerna har en sammansatt och komplex roll som uppstått i och med kommersialiseringen och är en följd utav en konvergens av det digitala medielandskapet.The digital society is characterized by constant development and rapid change, which has created the role influencer: A person used by companies and brands to market products or services. This study focuses on influencers own image of their occupation and by thematising issues based on theories of commercialization, self-presentation, participatory culture and opinion formation. The essay is exploring how three selected Swedish influencers in fashion and beauty at Instagram are looking at their role in commercialization which is analyzed on the basis of the same theories in media and communication science that have been mentioned above. The study is conducted through qualitative research interviews where the influencers themselves are the starting point. Through the study it becomes clear to understand how commercialization has affected the media community and previous roles have been replaced. Celebrities are no longer just actors and artists, opinion leaders no longer need to be traditional media, a person can have different roles in different media contexts and advertising is no longer something that goes from producer to consumer. The development of both media and social channels has changed the media landscape in so much as the boundaries between senders and recipients are being erased. It is not only market communication that has a monopoly on research relating to advertising and marketing. Lastly the study shows that influencers have a composite and complex role that has emerged through commercialization and is a consequence of a convergence of the digital media landscape.

A su vez, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio con la finalidad de validar la teoría propuesta en el marco teórico. Finalmente, se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra de 382 personas, donde se recabó la información necesaria para realizar el análisis estadístico e inferencial respectivo.The main objective of this research is to determine if exits or not a relationship between community reciprocity, affective social distance, community receptivity influence, and the online recommendation of women's clothing products on Facebook and Instagram, in women between 21 and 35 years old and who reside in Surquillo, Barranco and San Juan de Miraflores districts in Lima Metropolitana. For this, we made a mixed approach study, since it uses a quantitative and qualitative methodology. A descriptive and correlational study was used to measure the relationship between the variables (community reciprocity, affective social distance, community receptivity, and product recommendation) and it was used to determine a predictable pattern in our segment of interest. Furthermore, we made an in-depth interview that was conducted with an expert from the fashion industry in order to validate our objectives and hypotheses. We made four interviews that were conducted with influencers or fashion bloggers, who also play an important role in generating online recommendations, in order to obtain relevant information about our segment of interest. In turn, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to validate the theory proposed within theoretical framework. Finally, a survey was applied to a sample of 382 individuals, where the necessary information was collected to carry out the respective statistical and inferential analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The increased importance of social media influencers in marketing activities has been evident in recent years. The purpose of the thesis was to understand the cognitive processing of social media micro influencers’ content and the resultant behavioral outcome of follower engagement and purchase intention. Specifically, it has aimed to evaluate if the format of the content had an impact on cognitive processing and ascertains the resultant outcomes of engagement and purchase intention. Elaboration likelihood model (ELM) adapted to social media, was used, and adopted in the study in order to understand and evaluate the purpose as well as the information process of individuals. The research was narrowed down to the micro-influencers in the fashion and beauty industry sharing content, as the industry's high usage of influencer marketing and disseminating persuasive messages on Instagram. The research was conducted by using the Experimental Vignette Methodology (EVM) in a quantitative experiment. By doing so, it enabled the research to examine the participants' response to natural stimuli with quantitative results. A questionnaire together with exposure to three stimuli were used as instrumental in the collection of data. The sample was collected through social media platforms, mainly Instagram and Facebook, and via email to the students of LTU. The collected data was later analyzed, through SPSS, in two levels: impact and hypothesis testing. The impact measurement was analyzed by using repeated measures ANOVA and later the multilinear regression analysis to test the independent variables of content format relation to the dependent variables of engagement (comment and like) and purchase intention (tendency and likelihood). The findings indicated a support to the existing theory of ELM, by confirming the importance of the argument quality in the persuasive message. High lighting in the importance of text content format,in both engagement via commenting and purchase intention, when the information is processed through the more long-lasting central route. The results contributed to current literature in micro influencer and social media influencer marketing by extending the literature in persuasive messaging in relation to the content format. The research provided practical implications with insights into the cognitive processing of content and its implications in consumer engagement and purchase intention to both managers as well as to the content providers, social media influencers. The study presented relative information for content creation, communication and opened possibilities for further research in persuasive messaging in the micro media influencer segment.

Mestrado em MarketingA forte capacidade de persuasão dos instagrammers de moda junto dos consumidores, torna imperativo a compreensão por parte deste setor de como a utilização dos mesmos pode contribuir para o estabelecimento de uma relação entre o consumidor e a marca, concretamente para o desenvolvimento da imagem da marca e da lealdade à marca. Na presente dissertação procedeu-se à realização de um estudo qualitativo aplicado especificamente à marca Tezenis com recurso a uma amostra não probabilística por conveniência. No total foram realizados três focus groups com seis participantes cada, do género feminino com idades entre os 18 e os 24 anos. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam o poder persuasivo percebido dos instagrammers de moda nas atitudes e comportamentos dos consumidores. Conclui-se que a utilização de instagrammers de moda como ferramenta de comunicação das marcas está positivamente associada às três dimensões do construto da imagem da marca: mistério, intimidade e sensualidade. Posteriormente, verifica-se que os instagrammers de moda estão positivamente associados a três das quatro dimensões do construto da lealdade à marca: lealdade afetiva, conativa e de ação. Para além disso, conclui-se que a ausência de uma forte ligação emocional à marca publicitada, identificada na dimensão intimidade da imagem da marca e, a não preferência pela mesma não condiciona o comportamento de compra do consumidor. Por fim, comprova-se que tanto a imagem da marca desenvolvida através de instagrammers de moda como através de um conjunto de experiências diretas e indiretas com a marca estão positivamente associadas ao desenvolvimento de lealdade à marca.
The strong ability of fashion instagrammers to persuade consumers, makes it imperative for this sector to understand how the use of digital fashion influencers in the social network instagram can contribute to the development of the relationship between the consumer and the brand, specifically for the development of the brand image and brand loyalty. In this dissertation, a qualitative study was carried out specifically applied to the Tezenis brand using a non-probabilistic and convenience sample. In total, three focus groups were held with six female participants each, aged 18 to 24. The results obtained show the persuasive power perceived by fashion instagrammers in the attitudes and behaviors of consumers. Subsequently, it is concluded that the use of fashion instagrammers as a brand communication tool is positively associated with the three dimensions of the brand image construct: mystery, intimacy and sensuality. In addition to that, fashion instagrammers are positively associated with three of the four dimensions of the brand loyalty construct: affective, conactive and action loyalty. It is concluded that the absence of a strong emotional connection to the advertised brand, identified in the intimacy dimension of the brand image, and the lack of preference for it does not affect the consumer's buying behavior. Finally, it is proven that both the brand image developed through fashion instagrammers and through a set of direct and indirect experiences with the brand are positively associated with the development of brand loyalty, both at an attitudinal and behavioral level.

Full textAbstract:
The ad blocking hype has brought new challenges for fashion brands to be seen and heard. Therefore new marketing strategies have to be found. Since the usage of mobile devises increased and consumers spend more time on online social networks - influencer marketing had been found as a authentic marketing channel to reach the consumers. Therefore this thesis aims on providing fashion brands a guideline of the components and characteristics of influencer marketing. To accomplish this research objective the qualitative method approach of expert interviews had been chosen and four experts from the fashion influencer marketing were questioned about their daily work with influencers to elaborate their needs and the challenges they are facing. The interviews lead to four core components of influencer marketing: authenticity, long-term relations, co-creation and micro-influencers. Underneath these core components the following sub-components were found: brand fit, exclusivity, visual language, passion, trust, price, creative freedom, and frequent communication. The main conclusion of this study is that working with micro influencers is key a component of influencer marketing. These influencers tend to have high authenticity, are experts in a certain niche and are not motivated by monetary reasons.

Full textAbstract:
In an ever changing global economy, higher education experiences accountability issues in educating the workforce. Graduates require the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the global workplace. For graduates to have the opportunity to attain this understanding and expertise, it is critical to identify what influences curriculum development to create a curriculum that meets workplace needs. The purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of curriculum development in higher education fashion merchandising programs. More specifically what impacts the curriculum and if skill standard(s) and/or competency list(s), are used when developing program-level curriculum for higher education fashion merchandising programs. Descriptive research examined the internal and external influences and standard(s) and/or competency list(s) used in curriculum development. Electronically, an invitation to participate and the survey instrument were sent to faculty in apparel and textile programs across the United States. Data were collected from 96 apparel and textile faculty. Data revealed internal influences, more so than external influences, impacted curriculum development in higher education fashion merchandising programs. The largest percentage and extent of internal influence on curriculum development in higher education fashion merchandising programs was faculty background; program mission was also a major internal influence. The largest percentage and extent of external influence on curriculum development in higher education fashion merchandising programs was marketplace/employers. No statistically significant relationship was found between the participants' type of institution (undergraduate and graduate granting) and internal and external influences. However, more research is called for to examine the specific internal influence of program mission and the external influence of marketplace/employers. Current curriculum influences, skill standard(s) and/or competency list(s) used, and type of institution were examined in this research study. The study proposes that the higher education fashion merchandising curriculum is influenced, in varying degrees, by internal and external influences and that skill standard(s) and/or competency list(s) from many sources are used in curriculum development. Undergraduate or graduate institutions were not differentially influenced by internal or external factors.

AbstractDuring the recent years the fashion business has taken huge place on the Internet as a result of the emerging social media tools. One of these tools, which is the focus of this thesis, is the fashion blogs which over the past years become more popular and are today seen as a source of information and inspiration for fashion styles and upcoming trends. The boom of fashion bloggers resulted in less control by the magazines and fashion houses. Furthermore, the shift in generation that the world has faced shows that the people of 1980’s, so called the MeWe’s, are the ones who are taking over the society, such as the labour market.“The main purpose with this thesis is to examine and analyze the implications of the blog-development for fashion consumers in the MeWe-generation.”In order to perform my research I chose the qualitative approach where I interviewed ten women within the MeWe-generation. My purpose is to analyze the respondents' views and opinions in order to afterwards put it in relation to the secondary data collected. My goal has been to, as a result of the empirical materials, gain more understanding of the respondents’ views on in what extent they are being influenced by the fashion bloggers. Furthermore, the empirical study, analysis and the conclusion have been presented on the basis of following concepts within the theoretical framework: The MeWe-generation, Social Media, Blogs, Word of Mouth, Word of Mouth Marketing, Viral Marketing, Reference Groups, and Opinion Leadership.In conclusion, one could say that this study shows evidence that the MeWe-generation is being influenced by fashion bloggers. Their overall consumption behaviour is being affected by the frequently updated blogs and they are also gaining more trust towards the fashion bloggers since they can relate to them much more than to the models in the magazines. Also, as a result of the interactivity that occurs between the readers and the bloggers, a positive word of mouth is created which also increase the trustworthiness of the bloggers. Hence, one can say that by the way these fashion blogs are taking place in the MeWe-consumer’s everyday life, it is clear that they are here to stay and will remain their power of influencing them in their fashion consumption.Program: Magisterutbildning i fashion management med inriktning modemarknadsföring

This thesis explores the problem of wasteful fashion consumption in light of the current need for individuals to develop a sustainable way of living. The Agenda 21 report from the Rio Earth Summit (1992) determined that sustainable consumption is an issue to be addressed in terms of resource conservation, waste reduction and a reduction of production pollutants. To date, in Australia, there are no policies or strategies in place to reduce wasteful consumption from the consumer's perspective and it is this research and policy deficit that this thesis research addresses. According to a recent national study of wasteful consumption, Australians spent approximately 1.7 billion dollars in 2004 on fashion garments and accessories that they did not wear (Hamilton et al. 2005). However, landfill statistics revealed that only a small proportion of textile waste (of which clothing is a subsidiary category) contributes to landfill (ABS, 1998). This discrepancy between the annual expenditure and the contribution of clothing to landfill informed the research hypothesis; that the greater majority of these inactive fashion garments are hoarded in wardrobes rather than disposed of. This hypothesis was tested through an action research case study in the form of a clothing exchange event and related data collection and analysis (part 2 of the thesis). The additional objectives of the clothing exchange event were to activate

Full textAbstract:
Textile materials and textile design are a part of countless products in our surroundings, as well as of diverse design fields and industries, with very different material traditions and working methods. Textile materials and industry have undergone many changes during recent decades, in terms of how and where textiles are produced, and what textiles can be and do; in much the same way, the design practices that textiles are involved in have also developed. What these diverse and evolving design contexts in which textiles are involved in have in common is that textile materials and textile design decisions somehow meet the rest of the design during a design process. The aim of this thesis is to add to our understanding of the relationship between textiles and products in the design process, and to explore the roles that textile design plays when designing textile products, the roles they can come to play when textiles become more complex and offer new means of functionality and expressiveness, for example through smart textile technology. This thesis presents two types of result: Firstly, descriptions of textile product design processes that highlight the wide range of roles that textiles can play in the textile product design processes of today, accentuate how textile materials and design decisions can influence both what can be designed and the design process, and describe some of the additional complexities that come with designing and designing with smart textiles. These examples are presented in the appended papers, and are the outcome of an observation of students who were designing textile products and collaborative, practice-based design research projects. Secondly, this thesis presents a theoretical framework which aims to offer a broad perspective on the relationship between textile design and the product design process, with the intention of opening up for reflection on how we design, and can design, with textiles. The framework focuses on how textile design decisions and textile materials participate in the process, and to what degree they influence the development of the design; this includes methods, questions, etc. that can be used to explore and define this dynamic. One of the main points of the framework is the importance of the textile influence in textile product design processes; the specific qualities of textiles as a design material - the considerations, possibilities, and challenges, which influence both the design of the product and the process of designing it. This includes not only the textiles in the final design, but also the textiles that, in other ways, feature in this process.

Full textAbstract:
Today, the fashion industry is responsible for 4 per cent of the global greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere and 20-35 per cent of the microplastics in the ocean. It is thereby a highly debated industry when it comes to environmental sustainability. Different actors in the sector are stressing how reducing the ecological impact of the business is a matter of staying competitive forward. Many actors in the industry are trying to change towards reducing its effects on the environment. Still, complex global supply chains and business models such as ‘fast fashion’, i.e. fashion produced under short cycles, make it difficult. For an industry that wants to reduce its impacts on the environment, including a worldwide complex supply chain, and customer demand for ecommerce is increasing every day, adopting sustainable decision packaging suctions is essential. Our research shows that the investigated companies have prioritised sustainability aspects for their garments; however, sustainability focus on packaging can sometimes fall behind, and external guidance is sometimes needed. This research will investigate how an incumbent packaging firm can influence its customers in the fashion industry to make more sustainable decisions regarding packaging. It will be done by a digital platform that performs lifecycle assessments (LCA) in the early stage of the development process. Our research will investigate how this platform can create maximum value for its customers in the fashion industry. Hence, this research includes interviews with and reviews of actors in the industry to explore what drives and institutional logics (parameters) affect how different actors in the fashion industry are approaching sustainability today. Findings show that there exist drivers and institutional logics in these company cases. The most extensive drivers are standards and regulations, consumer awareness, competitive advantage and top management. The study further suggests that larger actors seem to be more affected by external factors such as standards and regulations and public pressure. Smaller actors seem to be more affected by internal drivers, such as top management and originality. This research proposes that some influential institutional logics affect how companies are approaching sustainability. The results reveal that companies with prices in the mid-market segment, headquarter location in Europe, product type sportswear, and high revenue are working more than other actors in the industry when it comes to sustainability today. During this research, it was possible to see that some barriers exist to become more sustainable. These include uncertainty and lack of knowledge, lack of transparency, increased costs, complex supply chain, packaging being less prioritised in working with sustainability, the functionality of sustainable packaging being rarely something that could be compromised. After the data collection, conclusions regarding the platform’s ability to influence customers in the fashion industry to make more sustainable decisions regarding their packaging solutions could be made. These include that the platform should be transparent, the magnitude of data, and well incorporated in the upcoming sales- and design process. However, it is shown that using LCA in a platform like this is helpful as a guiding tool and as a first initial conversation when developing a product. Further earlier scholars agree that sustainability aspects should be included in such an early stage as possible in the development process to ensure the most sustainable product during its lifetime possible. Furthermore, those companies without any person responsible for sustainable packaging or key performance indicators (KPIs) focusing on this specific area might be more interested in such a platform. This study will contribute to research by serving as a foundation for other actors looking into the possibilities of implementing a platform to guide and influence their customers to make more sustainable decisions, indicating what functional applications should be included and whatcustomers to target in such platform. Further research should investigate this topic on a broader scale, looking into a more extensive and more diverse sample and a possible application of this study in other industries.Modeindustrin står idag för 4 procent av de globala utsläppen av växthusgaser i atmosfären och 20–35 procent av mikroplaster i haven. Det är därför en högt debatterad bransch när det kommer till just hållbarhet. Flera aktörer i sektorn, trycker på att företag i branschen måste förändras för att kunna vara konkurrenskraftig framåt. Därför arbetar många företag just nu med att reducera sitt klimatavtryck. Trots det, har branschen ofta en global och komplex leverantörskedja med affärsmodeller som inkluderar vad som på engelska benämns ’fast fashion’, mode som produceras under korta cykler, vilket gör det svårt för företag inom branschen att verkligen bli hållbara. Modeindustrin har många gånger viljan och intentionerna att minska sin klimat påverkan, men tillsammans med en komplex leverantörskedja och ökad efterfrågan på e-handel, är det extra viktigt att kunna ta hållbara beslut när det gäller förpackningar. Denna studie visar att de undersökta företagen i modeindustrin har prioriterat arbetet med hållbarhet främst i delar som tillhör produktionen av kläder. Emellertid kan hållbarhetsfokuset gällande förpackningar falla i skymundan, då kan en extern konsultering vara till hjälp. I denna studie kommer vi att undersöka hur ett etablerat företag inom pappersförpackningsindustrin kan uppmuntra och influera sina kunder inom modeindustrin att ta mer hållbara beslut gällande förpackningar. Det kommer att göras möjligt genom en digital plattform som erbjuder livscykelanalys (LCA) i en tidig del av produktutvecklingsprocessen. Vår studie kommer vidare att undersöka hur denna plattform kan skapa maximalt värde för dess användare. Därför innehåller denna studie intervjuer med, och undersökning av, företag i modeindustrin för att kunna förstå vad som driver dem till att vara mer hållbara samt vilka institutionella parametrar som påverkar hur hållbara olika företag i branschen är. Resultatet visar att det finns drivkrafter och institutionella parametrar när det kommer tillhållbarhet hos dessa företag. De funna drivkrafterna är standarder och regelverk, konsumentmedvetenhet, konkurrenskraft, offentliga påtryckningar, företagsledning, originalitet och övriga externa intressenter, så som aktieägare och kundinflytande. Studien antyder vidare att större aktörer verkar vara mer påverkade av externa faktorer som standarder och regelverk och offentliga påtryckningar. Medan mindre aktörer verkar vara mer påverkade av interna drivkrafter, såsom företagsledning och originalitet. Denna forskning föreslår att det finns vissa inflytelserika parametrar som påverkar hur företag arbetar med hållbarhet. Resultatet visar att företag med priser i mellansegmentet, med huvudkontor i Europa, med sportkläder och med hög omsättning arbetar mer med hållbarhet än andra aktörer i branschen. Det visade sig även under denna studie att det finns vissa hinder för företag att vara mer hållbara. Dessa inkluderar osäkerhet och brist på kunskap, brist på transparens, ökade kostnader, komplex leverantörskedja, att förpackningar är mindre prioriterat i hållbarhetsarbetet samt att funktionalitet av förpackningar sällan är något som kan tummas på. Efter datainsamlingen kunde slutsatser om plattformens förmåga att influera kunder inom modebranschen att fatta mer hållbara beslut om deras förpackningslösningar göras. Dessa inkluderar att plattformen ska vara transparent, inneha stor mängd data av produktbibliotektet och vara väl införlivad i den kommande försäljnings- och designprocessen. Det visades dock att användning av LCA i en sådan plattform är främst till hjälp som ett vägledande verktyg och vid ett första inledande samtal vid produktutvecklingen. Vidare, är tidigare forskning överens om att hållbarhetsaspekter bör ingå i ett så tidigt skede som möjligt i utvecklingsprocessen för att säkerställa en så hållbar produkt som möjligt under hela dess livstid. Dessutom kan de företag som saknar en profession som är ansvarig för hållbara förpackningar eller saknar nyckeltal (KPI) som fokuserar på detta specifika område vara mer intresserade av en sådan plattform. Denna studie bidrar till forskningen genom att fungera som en god grund för andra organisationer som ser på möjligheterna med att implementera en plattform för att vägleda och uppmuntra sina kunder att fatta mer hållbara beslut, vilket visar vilka funktionella applikationer som ska inkluderas och vilka kunder att rikta in sig på en sådan plattform. Ytterligare forskning bör undersöka detta ämne i bredare skala, undersöka ett mer omfattande och mer varierande urval och en eventuell applicering av studien inom andra branscher.

Purpose & research questions: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the roleand influence trend institutes have on the decision a designer makes in the designand development of a garment/product’s lifecycle. Theoretical approach: The theoretical framework is based on the theories ofsustainability and trends but also on previous studies and models concerning thefashion design process and the environmental aspects of a garment’s lifecycle. Research Approach: The research uses a qualitative method based on multiple casestudies as research design. Conclusion: This research reveals that trend institutes have little or no influence atall for small, independent and high-end fashion designers, especially in sustainablefashion design because trend institutes are not perceived as knowledgeable enough oradvocates, yet. However, it is important to bear in mind the need to maintain thepicture of the high-end fashion designer as the one and only fashion contributor.Furthermore, The research evidences that there is no such thing as sustainabilitycommunication at trend institutes.

Full textAbstract:
Aim: The aim of this thesis is to analyse the influence of social media on fast fashion e-commerce multinational businesses and to identify the aims of Corporations using social media and why they adopt it as a marketing strategy to meet their long term objectives. Methodology Approach: This research study utilised a qualitative approach which comprises of primary and secondary data in order to conduct research and gather empirical evidence to evaluate the research aims and questions and to fill the gap that previous researches have not sufficiently covered. This thesis involved the use of a multiple case study by interviewing four international fast fashion companies based in Sweden, Stockholm. These companies are Bik Bok, River Island, Monki and Vero Moda. The researcher used a face to face interview method and telephone method. In total ten (10) interviews have been conducted. Findings: The main finding of this research study is that the four e-commerce companies employed social media as a marketing strategy. Through thorough analysis it was found that Instagram was the most dominant of all social media platform. The use of social media marketing is vital for these fast fashion e-commerce businesses as they can have direct contact with their customers, attract new customers and to get to know their target market. These four companies opened an e-commerce business to offer product datasheet and to expand market for niche products. However, social media have also influenced few of these e-commerce businesses by the use of word of mouth. Limitations: The limitation of this study is the lack of having the perspective of managers in the department of social media. The work could have been improved if the researcher was able to be in contact with those people in order to have a better validation of this research study. Moreover, there were inadequate resources or authors that have specifically covered the influenced of social media on fast fashion e-commerce firms and how they operate. This could be seen as the research gap. Suggestions For Further Research: As this research study only covers the influence of social media on fast fashion e-commerce businesses.Further study can be conducted on the perspective of fast fashion e-commerce customer’s perspective. Moreover, a bigger sampling of respondents can be collected rather than only collecting data from 2 or 3 people from each company. There might be a possibility if the chosen sampling was bigger; the researcher could have had more concrete and solid research study.

Full textAbstract:
The overall purpose of this research was to understand how consumers perceive physical environments from multi-brand fashion retail stores. According to Solomon and Rabolt (2008), a well-design of store environment can fulfill consumer’s shopping process with a pleasant, efficient and enjoyable experience. Since many researchers have proved that the store environment directs consumer’s shopping experience, by investigating consumer’s behavior with psychological and physical perceptions in a store is the approach for retailers to create more business opportunities in a competitive fashion industry today.Through literature review we know, the development of retail stores from eighteenth century until today, it changes by social, culture, economic factors as well as consumer behavior. From the history, it also illustrates how a multi-brand fashion retail store grows in today’s Swedish market. Customers’ interview is the important approach to know how consumers experience shopping and perceive the environment in the multi-brand fashion retail stores. Because of consumers’ demographic differences, the perceptions from the same store environment lead to either positive or negative feelings. By interviewing the store staffs, the companies’ management and store display strategies are provided and it is helpful to analyze and compare in parallel. The retailer applies appropriately store designing strategy to focus on a certain group of consumers is useful to find its target consumers as well as appealing to target consumer’s satisfaction with shopping experience. Based on the interview result, the perceptions both from consumers and retailers are discussed. According to the analysis of the results, recommendations are given for tangible and intangible improvements. In terms of visible improvements, the retailers may improve visual communication and lighting design in the store environment which enhances consumer’s attitude toward positive perception and exceptions. Sending positive knowledge is an invisible channel to influence consumer behavior, and it is sure that consumers are willing to learn what they are interested. Furthermore, improving visual merchandise management is an approach to compete increasing number of outlets in the market which could be achieved by professional employees and training processes.To design or create a better physical environment of multi-brand fashion retail store, it not only follows the retailer’s marketing strategy and company orientation, but also concerns for consumers’ needs toward positive influences. A consumer’s perception from a store environment decides his or her attitude and behavior. If consumers are satisfied with the store, they will tell an average of 5 other people, whereas disappointed consumers may talk to more people and never return to the store. (Hines and Bruce 2008) To develop a better physical environment of a multi-brand fashion retail store, it relies on interacting of influences between consumers and retailers.Program: Magisterutbildning i fashion management med inriktning modemarknadsföring

"Do they really get influenced? : A psycho-social study examining the presence of fashion SMIs on Swedish female consumers' fashion related purchasing decisions." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Företagsekonomiska institutionen, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-447128.
Full textAbstract:
Consumers now more than ever are concerned by a teeming pool of social and cultural powers-Social Media Influencers (SMI)-that influence their purchasing decisions. Fashion as one of the most extensive industries in the world has spurred the rise of fashion SMIs on Instagram. As such , identifying that previous literature has studied female and male consumers jointly, this thesis thus, by employing a psycho-social methodological approach and a Consumer Culture theory perspective, takes a rather explorative modus operandi in trying to understand the perception of Swedish female consumer toward fashion SMIs while identifying the factor related to fashion SMIs that contour Swedish female consumers perceptions and facilitate purchasing decisions. Some of the findings are 1) fashion SMIs that are always presenting their perfect self are considered mischievous, 2) fashion SMIs consumers to discover their true selves, 3) fashion SMIs expertise is highly valued when seen outside a collaboration, 4) fashion SMIs trustworthiness is enhanced when they also present the flaws of their lives,5)consumers are rational buyers and regardless of the great influence of fashion SMIs, they finalize their purchasing decisions based on their needs, product attributes, and opinions received from friends and family.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med den här studien är att skapa en förståelse kring hur kvinnor inom generation Z:s attityder till mode och kläder påverkas av influencer marketing som marknadsföringsstrategi. Det grundar sig i att det har identifierats ett antal kunskapsgap som att det saknas forskning på generation Z som konsumenter och även inom fenomenet influencer marketing. Dessutom på förändrade digitala konsumentbeteenden i och med pandemin Covid-19. Vidare har en framtidsanalys presenterats för att försöka täcka upp för de kunskapsgap som identifierats. Resultaten från studien visar att kvinnorna inom generation Z:s attityder till mode och kläder i högsta grad påverkas av influencer marketing. Då de dagligen använder sig av sociala medier och det faktum att det har kommit att bli en normalitet inom generationen att söka efter inspiration till mode och kläder via influencers på sociala medier. Attityder gentemot företag och influencers inom klädbranschen och således mot mode samt kläder påverkas också av faktorer som en influencers tillit och expertis. Det vill säga, generationen följer influencers de anser som pålitliga och de med tillräckligt hög genomslagskraft ses då även som pålitliga även i andra områden. Vilket innebär att företag som samarbetar med “rätt” influencers hamnar inom konsumenternas radar och i och med det kan påverka attityderna åt sin fördel.

Full textAbstract:
Photography has been used to record and document periods in time, which Wells (2001:19) acknowledges by stating that, “…photographs are records and documents which pin down the changing world of appearance”. Richard Avedon and Irving Penn made a significant contribution to fashion photography during the 1950s but this has seldom been explored in a scholarly way. By defining the characteristics of Avedon and Penn’s work, a possible understanding of their influence on contemporary fashion photographers, Matthew Rolston and Steven Meisel may be determined and so expand on the understanding of the contribution of Avedon and Penn to contemporary fashion photography. Avedon, Penn, Rolston and Meisel’s fashion photographs will be visually analysed to show the similarities and the relevance of 1950s fashion photography to contemporary fashion photography. Paul Martin Lester’s (2003) method of visual analysis will be used as the basis for this analysis. The reason for choosing Lester’s methods of visual analysis is that it can be applied to all fields of visual art and design. Contemporary fashion photography draws on many different stylistic devices and periods in history for its re-invention, so it is important to understand what constitutes the defining characteristics of a stylistic period in history to be able to revisit it in contemporary photography.

Full textAbstract:
Influencer marketing är ett växande fenomen och blir alltmer vanligt som marknadsföringsverktyg på sociala medier. Efter att granskat tidigare forskning upptäckte vi att det tidigare inte forskats mycket kring hur influencer marketing skiljer sig åt mellan olika branscher. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på vilken roll begreppen trovärdighet och identitethar i mode- (hedonism) och IT-branschen (utilitarism/hedonism) när det gäller användandet av influencer marketing, ur ett samhällsperspektiv. Resultatet ska bidra med ökad förståelse kring upplevda skillnader mellan de olika branscherna som i sin tur kan bidra med information tillföretag som klassificeras som hedonistiska och utilitaristiska vid deras användande av influencer marketing. Frågeställningarna som ställdes var:1. På vilket sätt kan mode- och IT-branschen kopplas till hedonistiskt samt utilitaristisktvärde?2. Vilka skillnader, kopplat till begreppen trovärdighet och identitet, uppleverkonsumenterna att det finns av användningen av influencers på sociala medier inom mode- respektive IT-branschen? För att kunna besvara studiens frågeställningar inleddes studien med en så kallad förstudie. Förstudien bestod av två semistrukturerade intervjuer, en med ett IT-företag och en med ett modeföretag. Målet med förstudien var inte att genomföra en fulländad kvalitativ studie utan målet med förstudien var att få en inblick i ämnet vi valt att skriva om och hur branscherna såg på ämnet. Syftet med förstudien var också att tillsammans med svaren som erhållits frånenkätundersökningen kunna besvara studiens två forskningsfrågor. Studiens huvudfokus var enkvantitativ studie med en enkätundersökning som spreds via Facebook, e-mail och sms. Målet med enkäten var att fånga upp konsumenternas perspektiv på influencer marketing på sociala medier kopplat till upplevda skillnader mellan mode- och IT-branschen kopplat till studiens tvåhuvudbegrepp identitet och trovärdighet. Resultatet av studien indikerar att modebranschen upplevs ligga i framkant när det kommer tillanvändandet av influencer marketing. Detta kan till stor del bero på själva användandet av modeprodukter jämfört med IT-produkter. Modebranschen går främst att koppla tillhedonistiska värden medan IT-branschen är svårare att definiera. Detta kan ha haft en storpåverkan på varför IT-branschen inte använder sig av influencer marketing i lika stor grad som modebranschen gör. Studien kom dock fram till att det finns belägg till att IT-branschen, som har inslag av såväl hedonistiska värden som utilitaristiska, även kan erhålla positiva effektergenom användandet av influencer marketing. Studien tyder på att det inte existerar någon större skillnad när det kommer till trovärdighet mellan branscherna. Det upplevs vara av betydanderoll för såväl mode- som IT-branschen. När det kommer till identitet gav studien dock belägg på att det finns en skillnad mellan branscherna, då identitet upplevs vara viktigare förmodebranschen. Vilket kan bero på att identitet spelar en större roll när det kommer till merhedonistiska branscher.Influencer marketing is a growing phenomenon and is becoming more and more common as a marketing tool on social media. After reviewing previous research we discovered that there has not been much research in the past about how influencer marketing differs between different industries. The purpose of this study is to find out what role the concepts of credibility and identity have in the fashion- (hedonism) and the IT-industry (utilitarianism / hedonism) when it comes to the use of influencer marketing, from a societal perspective. The result will contribute to increased understanding of perceived differences between the various industries, which in turn can contribute information to companies classified as hedonistic and utilitarian in their use of influencer marketing. This essay will be written in Swedish and the questions this study examines are: 1. In what way can the fashion and IT industry be linked to hedonistic and utilitarian values? 2. What differences, linked to the concepts of credibility and identity, do consumers perceive that there is between the fashion- and the IT-industry when it comes to the use of influencers on social media? To be able to answer the study's questions, the study started with a so-called pree study. The pree study consisted of two semi-structured interviews, one with an IT company and one with a fashion company. The aim of the pree study was not to carry out a complete qualitative study, instead the purpose of the pree study was to gain an insight into the subject we have chosen to write about and how our representatives of the industries looked at the subject. The purpose of the pree study was also to be able to answer the two research question, together with the answers obtained from the survey. The main focus of this study was a quantitative study with a survey conducted via Facebook, e-mail and sms. The aim of the survey was to capture consumers’ perspectives on influencer marketing on social media linked to perceived differences between the fashion- and IT industry linked to the study's two main concepts of identity and credibility. The result of our study indicate that the fashion industry is perceived to use influencer marketing more often, which can depend on the use of fashion products compared to IT products. The fashion industry is mainly linked to hedonic values while the IT industry is more difficult to define. This may have had a major impact on why the IT industry does not use influencer marketing to the same extent as the fashion industry does, but the study concluded that there is evidence that the IT industry, which has elements of both hedonic and utilitarian values, can also obtain positive effects through the use of influencer marketing. The study indicates that there is no greater difference when it comes to credibility between the industries. It is perceived to be of significant role for the fashion industry as well as for the IT industry. When it comes to identity, the study showed that there is a difference between the industries. IIIIdentity is considered to be more important for the fashion industry. Which may be because identity play a larger role when it comes to more hedonistic industries.

Dwyer, Angela Ellen. "Teaching girls a lesson : the fashion model as pedagogue." Queensland University of Technology, 2006. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/16259/.
Full textAbstract:
There appears to be little doubt about the nature of the relationship between the fashion model and the young girl in contemporary Western culture. Dominant literature, emerging from medico-psychological and feminist research, situates the model as a disorderly influence, imbued with the capacity to infect and, hence, distort the healthy minds and bodies of 'suggestible' young girls. Opposing these perspectives is a smaller, more recent body of literature, emerging from post-feminist work that argues that the model-girl relationship is a delightful influence. Thus, the contemporary field of scholarship reveals an increasingly dichotomous way of thinking about fashion model influence: the model influences young girls in ways that are disorderly or delightful, never both.
This thesis argues that to assume that the model-girl encounter is 'neatly' disorderly or delightful is shifty at best. It suggests that, in their rush to judge the fashion model as either pernicious or pleasurable, existing literature fails to account for the precision with which young girls know the fashion model. Using poststructuralist theory, the thesis argues that 'influence' may be more usefully thought of as a discursive effect, which may produce a range of effects for better and worse. Following Foucault (1972), fashion model influence is interrogated as a regime of truth about the model-girl encounter, constituted discursively under specific social, cultural and historical conditions. In so doing, the thesis makes different sense of fashion model influence, and questions influence as an independently-existing 'force' that bears down on vulnerable young girls.
Drawing on a poststructural conceptual architecture, this thesis re-conceptualises the model-girl encounter as a pedagogical relationship focused on the (ideal) female body. It suggests that the fashion model, as an authoritative embodied pedagogue, transmits knowledge about 'ideal' feminine bodily conduct to the young girl, as attentive gazing apprentice. Fashion model influence is re-interrogated as the product of certain forms of disciplinary training (Foucault, 1977a), with young girls learning a discursive knowledge about how to discipline the body in ways that are properly feminine. Such a perspective departs from the notion that fashion model influence is necessarily disorderly or delightful, and makes possible a re-reading of influence in terms of learning outcomes.
A problematic arises conceptualising the fashion model in this way. To consider the model as a 'good' teacher breaches a number of discursive rules for best pedagogical practice in postmodern times: She is not a pedagogue of the mind; she is not student-centred, facilitative, asexual, interpersonally engaged, relational, or authentic. To create a space for thinking differently about the model as a teacher, then, the thesis looks to ancient historical times and places in which female-to-female and body-to-body pedagogies were practised and understood.
The first phase of the research project embedded in this thesis defamiliarises pedagogical work using historical texts from ancient Greece. It examines in particular the erotically embodied pedagogical relationships conducted between older, authoritative elite prostitutes known as hetairae, and their younger female apprentices. The discursive rules governing these pedagogical relationships are examined with a view to diagnosing the model-girl encounter in terms of these rules. These rules are then used to interrogate ethnographic data generated through observation of the model-girl encounter in situ in a modelling course, and through focus group interviews with groups of young girls.
Working through notions of corporeal embodiment, self as art, desire, discipline, stillness, spectacle, the gaze and the conduct of conduct, the study interrogates the model-girl encounter as a contemporary pedagogical encounter. To avoid reaffirming more traditional binaries, the reading of data is ironic, working within and between binaries such as disorder/delight. Three ironic categories of femininity are produced out of the analysis: unnaturally natural, stompy grace and beautifully grotesque. These categories 'speak' the fragmentation, fissure, contradiction, inconsistency and absurdity that permeate the talk of young girls and model-girl pedagogy in the modelling classroom. Thus, the thesis offers up an analysis of the model-girl encounter that refuses the neatness and uni-dimensionality that characterises existing literature.

This investigation examines how women perceive that magazines influence the body image of self and others. Seventeen audio-taped in-depth interviews were conducted with college women who read beauty, fashion, and grooming magazines frequently. These interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed and the data developed into topics of importance. The findings indicated that informants perceived other women were influenced more by images of women in the media than they themselves were influenced. However, informants did not advocate behavior changes for others or hold pro-censorship attitudes. Other findings include favorable perceptions of magazines utilizing larger sized fashion models, negative attitudes towards advertising, and a reverse third-person effect when the 'other' is male. These findings are consistent with existing research on the third-person effect.M.A.

For Research and Application our group decided to do research on the influence Instagram has through high schoolers' and their self-esteem. The reason we choose high school students is because, a lot of groups within our class were focusing on college students and self-esteem through Instagram. The way we collected our data was by sending out a survey asking question about how many likes were satisfactory to these students and did it influence their self-esteem. We also use Rosenberg's self-esteem scale to see how this influenced their self-esteem. Through this research we found that with the literature reviews Instagram does influence ones self-esteem, but through our survey we found that Instagram does not influence ones self-esteem.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this creative project was to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing line of garments. The goals of this project were to: 1) produce three textile designs (motifs), 2) screen print the textile designs on fabric, and 3) design and construct a functional/aesthetically pleasing garment line using the three original textile motifs. There were several processes involved in creating the end result. The processes involved in this project were designing a motif for fabric, screen printing the designs on to the fabric, and designing and constructing the clothing line.The work of three artists from the Surrealism movement in art history were used as a source of inspiration for designing the motifs printed on the fabric. The three artists were Joan Miro, Salvador Dali and Max Ernst.The images of the motifs were first sketched and redrawn on the MicroDesign I Cad system. The motifs were printed on 100% cotton using the stencil process in screen printing. Five alternating colors were used to print the three different images. After the fabric was printed, three garment designs were created to be constructed using the new fabric. The patterns for the garments were created using the draping method for pattern making.The results of the project were favorable. The fun spirited motifs represented the feel of the Surrealist movement. The completed garments looked like the original illustrations. Although much was achieved through this project, it far exceeded the time expectations for completion.Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

Thesis, Internationella Handelshögskolan, Jönköping University, IHH, Företagsekonomi, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-48960.
Full textAbstract:
Background: The phenomenon of CSR has become an increasingly adopted strategy among companies, as a result of the frequent discussion on climate change. At the same time, consumers have attained further awareness regarding sustainability and how consumption impacts the environment. Further, the fast fashion industry has been highlighted as one of the most harmful and unethical industries that negatively impacts the environment and lives of all. Thus, it is interesting to explore which factors influence consumers’ purchase decisions, and determine whether sustainability and CSR are taken into consideration. Purpose: This thesis aims to explore millennial consumers’ attitudes toward Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as well as which factors consumers take into consideration when they are making purchase decisions. Method: In order to meet the research objectives, data has been collected with exploratory and qualitative methods. The research philosophy follows interpretivism, and adopts an abductive approach. Furthermore, 13 semi- structured interviews were conducted, which aim to explore and provide and understanding for consumers’ attitudes and perception. Interview participants were selected based on a purposive sampling method, with two identified criteria. Additionally, a coding system was constructed based on the literature review, which was used to analyse the data collected from the interviews. Conclusion: The results, extracted from the empirical data and analysis, suggest that there are two categories with factors influencing millennial consumers’ purchase decisions. The first category includes product related factors, whereas the other category includes a number of consumer related factors. The empirical results further conclude that the participants generally experience positive attitudes toward sustainability and CSR, while product related factors are more influential in the decision-making process.
