Fashion Bloggers being the Ace for Fashion Followers on Social Media

Fashion is an ongoing changing process which in regular cycles brings new trends into practically any human activity; from medicine to music .

In an age defined by technology the power of fashion bloggers in the millennial era has had a lasting influence on consumers, facilitated by the rapid growth of social media and new technologies.Currently, the largest segment of the blogosphere consists of fashion blogs, meaning the blogs that focus on fashion brands, current trends, fashion, beauty and lifestyle products, e-commerce, street style, and personal style.Fashion blogging is an international subculture that consists primarily of young women who post photographs of themselves and the products they own, post comments on clothes, accessories and fashion-related products, and use various techniques to promote themselves and their blogs.

In an age defined by technology the power of fashion bloggers in the millennial era has had a lasting influence on consumers, facilitated by the rapid growth of social media and new technologies social media mid-millennial helped fashion bloggers diffuse their style or opinions through the marketplace much faster because the spread of information was ‘instantaneous’ which led to a decline in traditional blog-based bloggers who had made the transition over to visual blogging on Instagram. The transition to Instagram was in part influenced by the way that consumers now approached trends and was a smart move for the most part with the large majority of consumers admitting to using Instagram as a shopping feed curated by a list of their favourite bloggers. The divide between Instagram and blog based blogs had a direct impact on the way they influenced consumers and it was evident that the two were attracting two completely different audiences. On one hand Instagram bloggers role was to purely provide a visual look at trends that consumers should be directly following and then on the other hand blog-based blogs were more reliable because their content was a direct expose on the ins and outs of a particular brand.But yes we have bloggers who do both.Yes you already know some of them and if not let me take you there.

Creating an inter-relationship between ‘trend setting’ and directly ‘persuading’ consumers to buy their clothes the influence of fashion bloggers on consumers is increasingly prevalent in modern culture. Self-described as the new ‘opium of the masses’ fashion blogs are ‘innovative’ and ‘reliable’ with EWOM (E- Word Of Mouth) an attractive prospect that fashion bloggers offer in their roles as digital influencers to consumers.
