Our Fashion 2025 State of Influence Report dives deep into the transformations happening in Affordable Fashion and Aspirational Luxury, showing how influential voices are now delivering greater impact than brand-owned social channels.
Consumers are gradually moving from broad trend adoption to more targeted, influencer-curated conversations, as reflected by a +12% YoY increase in EMV and -5% dip in Virality across both Affordable Fashion and Aspirational Luxury.
