Abstract

Although millennials are the largest spending population of luxury fashion brands, so far, only a limited amount of studies have explored the interrelation between luxury fashion brands incorporating social media influencers on Instagram and their effects on the luxury purchasing patterns of millennials. Therefore, the main goal of this study is threefold: first, to discuss and explore the evolution of luxury between the 16th and 21st century; second, to examine the role of Instagram influencers and their use by luxury fashion brands; and third, to understand if influencer marketing is creating a positive influence on the purchasing patterns of millennials in Ireland. A convenience random sampling survey method was employed to collect firsthand data from Irish millennials on the research topic. The findings show that a very high percentage of millennials in Ireland do take into consideration what luxury fashion influencers are wearing and promoting in their Instagram pictures and stories. This is one of the very few studies that focuses on millennial luxury purchasing patterns and how luxury fashion brands are able to attract millennials online while maintaining their own unique identity.
