It involves various elements including market research, branding, social media promotion, influencer partnerships, visual merchandising, content creation, and event planning — all tailored to appeal to specific fashion consumers. In a fast-paced, trend-sensitive industry, fashion marketing plays a critical role in shaping how collections are perceived and consumed globally.
