II. <strong>Psychographic</strong> Segmentation Analyses<br />

C. Fashion Attitudes Segmentation<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fashion Attitudes segmentation breaks teens down by their fashion sensibilities, their inclination to shop (or not) for clothes and<br />

accessories, and the importance of social and media influences on their fashion choices.<br />

• Fashion Groupies<br />

Fashion groupies believe they have a trendy fashion sense, but they tend to act more like fashion followers than trailblazers. <strong>The</strong>y like<br />

to know what is in style, but they wait to see what others are wearing before they buy, and what they do buy is not likely to go out of<br />

style before too long.<br />

• Fashion Disconnects<br />

Fashion is not a factor of the good life among these young consumers, and they are almost totally indifferent to clothing, beyond its<br />

practical aspects. <strong>The</strong>y don’t like to shop, they don’t care what’s in style, and they don’t buy new clothes just because a new season<br />

rolls around.<br />

• Fashionistas<br />

Fashionistas love the “new”, especially when it means something new to wear. <strong>The</strong>y believe they are trend-setters and that clothes<br />

say a lot about the wearer, so being “in style” is very important to them. As marketing targets, they are particularly valuable as<br />

trend-spreaders, who reliably seek out what’s new in magazines and buy the latest fashions as they arrive in stores.<br />

• Fashion Mall-Mavens<br />

<strong>The</strong>se consumers love to shop for clothes and accessories, but they have their own styles and are not particularly interested in the<br />

latest styles. <strong>The</strong>y don’t look to magazines for fashion guidance and they’re not likely to pick up something in the mall simply because<br />

it just came in.<br />
