Social Media & Influencers Impact On The Fashion Industry 1 | Page 28

The Conclusion In conclusion to the research gathered, it has shown that not only social media has an impact in many consumers’ lives, but more and more brands and companies are noticing that social shopping is rising and the public are becoming influenced by what they see online. As Instagram and Snapchat are becoming more popular, brands will start to showcase their catwalk shows digitally which will make it available to the open public. Could this impact in the way designer brands are presented? Will mass market brands start showcasing their collections on a catwalk but using Snapchat as their tool? As mentioned before, bloggers are saturating the mass market. The word blogger isn’t just someone who post pictures on Instagram and videos on YouTube, they are attending Fashion Shows, being spotted by photographers, collaborating with brands; they are playing this major part in the way the public shop and with research carried many people are more influenced in what a blogger wears rather than a celebrity. So, in a few years’ time, once the bloggers impact has died down, the rise in reality or even models could potentially be the next idea that will play another rise in the fashion industry.
