Type: article
Abstract: The rapid advancement of digital technology has revolutionized marketing strategies in the fashion industry, shifting from traditional approaches to dynamic digital platforms such as social media and influencer collaborations. This study investigates the significant impact of digital marketing on consumer behavior, emphasizing the role of user-generated content (UGC), personalized promotions, and social media engagement in shaping shopping preferences and brand loyalty. Through case studies of leading brands like Chanel, Gucci, and Balenciaga, the research demonstrates how digital platforms drive global trends, cultural adaptation, and feminist narratives while addressing challenges like cultural sensitivity and ethical concerns. Findings reveal that 64% of consumers rely on UGC before purchases, and 80% prefer customized experiences, highlighting the importance of data-driven strategies. Additionally, the study examines the balance between brand diversity and aesthetic integrity, offering practical insights for both established and emerging fashion brands to strengthen their digital presence and consumer engagement in an increasingly competitive market.
