2. Introduction
Social media is an emerging platform that enables brand recognition and popularity for
designers in the fashion industry while contributing to the interactivity of companies
and consumers. Although better adopted by parallel industries, the fashion industry
lacks industry-wide standards regarding the success and use of social media tools,
including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Social media is a public venue
that promotes transparency and feedback. According to Lee (2009), “while fashion
brands and retailers are still grappling with social media in terms of controlling brand
perception and establishing metrics to measure its marketing value, they have used
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social communities to develop digital marketing
strategies to drive online sales and retail store traffic”.
3. Research Objective

2. To know “how the social media influence the customer”.(13)
3. To know “how the social media affect the fashion industry”.(17)

4. Statement of the Problem
Fashion changes from culture to culture, so people consciousness and consumer buying behaviour may
also likely vary.
• Social media poses an opportunity as well as a threat to the image of the luxury fashion brand in front of
the consumers. Social media marketing does communalize the brand and bring a prospective consumer
much closer to the brand. . Using social media for marketing luxury fashion products and doing so in the
interest of the brand has become a serious challenge for the luxury fashion brands. Few brands have not
made their presence felt on social media platforms in order to keep their product and market niche .
However, the increasing activities on social media, the cost effective marketing tool that it has become and
the increasing presence of potential customers has made it imperative for luxury fashion brands to utilize
social media and incorporate SMM into their marketing mix. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is
to alleviate these concerns by understanding whether a luxury fashion brand receives positive or negative
promotions by extending its marketing activities to social media platforms.
