SOCIAL MEDIA, TELEVISION AND FASHION

Celebrities shape fashion and influence fashion trends. Famous people have always shaped fashion trends throughout history and this is still true today. 

Fashion is just wearing what is considered popular or chic. Certain things are considered chic or popular because famous people or celebrities are usually seen wearing these things. So, celebrities not only influence fashion. I would say that they create fashion too. Celebrities are often our inspiration for what to wear.

Social media and television play a huge role in how celebrities influence the youth. Television plays a really big role in the way that celebrities can influence fashion trends.

The average young person spends several hours a day watching television. It is obvious that if people spend long hours watching television or be active on any social media platform, it will start to affect

how they think and what they do. This sometimes, can actually be subconscious.

Celebrities may not realize their influence but their trend setting power is huge among shoppers
Celebrities set the fashion trends. They always have, and fashion trends are catching on faster than in older generations due to the rise of social media.

Young people always want to know more and see more. Beauty secrets revealed by celebrities are a big deal. Celebrity style influence is undoubtedly powerful for today’s youth.


Fashion is art, and art should be admired and shared with the world.

Celebrity Impacts on Fashion

Celebrities are everywhere; they are almost an unavoidable part of our life while growing up.
Starting at a young age, we look up to celebrities for many different reasons. For girls, it is usually for the beauty and extravagant style that famous women have.
For boys, it is usually the muscles and keen fashion sense of famous men that they aspire to have.

Celebrities greatly influence fashion choices of the youth because celebrities represent ideal beauty. Style is always changing and young people strive to keep up with the latest fashion trends, they want to look their best, so they look to celebrities in order to achieve that.

Celebrities are trend setters. One example is Uti Nwachukwu, the winner of BigBrother Allstars. He may not necessarily be the greatest inspiration for our youth. His fashion sense is spunky and fun, so I think that is why he appeals to young men.

Award shows like the AMVCA also inspire fashion. After these types of show, magazines and celebrity bloggers typically cover who was the “best dressed” and who was the “worst dressed.” And people pick up style they admire.


Most widespread clothing trends are first seen when celebrities wear them. Example

is nativewear called senator or south-south that former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan made popular. Every Nigerian man has at least one it in his wardrobe.  

SOCIAL MEDIA AND FASHION

Social media has become a part of our globally connected world in multiple ways, and most recently the fashion industry is seeing a major shift in its inspiration for designs and trends, all thanks to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.

  










Fashion houses now use social media to engage with their fans, but it's in a very controlled way. Social media can also influence fashion designers in unique ways that are changing the way many fashion designers create their fashions.

Another major shift that social media has had is simply that the average person can now influence fashion in ways never before possible.

The naturally interactive qualities of social media also make social media an effective tool, allowing people to be a part of the process of fashion making.

Yet not all the big fashion houses have embraced social media due to concerns over the potential loss of control over their brand image.

So the point is, with social media it’s a brave new world for the fashion industry and retailers

How Social Media Has Transformed The Fashion Industry

Social media has totally changed the face of fashion today and the way we shop. The beauty of social sharing sites is that you can be inspired by such a wide range of people, from your friends, bloggers, celebrities and family.

As social media has made fashion and style more accessible than

ever, it drives how we shop and what we wear. 

Fashion news often breaks exclusively via Facebook, twitter, blogs and instagram. This boost of social influence is inspiring people to explore their own personal style and create their own unique looks to share and receive likes and great comments. 

On social media everyone is unique and individual looks are celebrated and shared. Social media platforms enable us to express ourselves freely and showcase our personal style.

Social media has gained relevance that it’s now the number of followers on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter, rather than your experience necessarily, that can secure you a top job.

Any fashion designer can gain audience and even attain relevance with building a social media presence. It’s obvious that, any fashion designer that doesn't have social media behavior is heading towards oblivion state. 

No matter how good the fashion designer may be, he will soon disappear in the industry. The future is in social media.
