Abstract

The growth of social media use has been particularly evident in the fashion industry. Luxury brands have embraced the power of social media to promote and sell products. Instagram’s shop feature allows the consumer to purchase products from brands such as Chloé, Oscar de la Renta and Marc Jacobs. Snapchat’s augmented reality feature allows consumers to virtually try on products from luxury brands such as Prada, Dior, Gucci and Piaget. TikTok is embracing live-streamed shopping with selected brands (Mackensy & Co, 2021) and the ‘TikTok Shop’ products are tagged in TikTok videos (Beauloye, 2022). The Covid-19 pandemic affected the increased number of purchases using social media. Evidence highlights that social commerce is a key theme that will continue to influence fashion brand purchases and engagement in 2022 thus reinforcing the power of social media on consumption (Beauloye, 2022; Mackensy & Co, 2021). Of luxury fashion brands, Gucci has always been innovative in its use of technology and in building online communities of luxury consumers to promote products. It was ranked number one in the L2 Gartner L2’s Digital IQ Index- Fashion Global, highlighting its digital and innovation authority (Farooqi, 2018). In 2021, Gucci released its first NFT, the first virtual sneakers, and embraced virtual brand activations (Mackensy & Co, 2021).
