Bodily Esteem
Consumers challenge the mainstream by openly celebrating body diversity
Implications - The fashion industry claims to have embraced body diversity, but its definition of "plus-size" remains narrow. As a result, consumers feeling
overlooked by the industry are gravitating towards fashion and media channels that make bold, celebratory political statements surrounding the issue. This
shift towards bodily esteem suggests that consumers are searching for transparency, as well as representation, from fashion media.

Upscaling Motherhood
Brands targeting mothers turn to all things high end for modern parents
Implications - E-commerce channels are birthing a new generation of modern mothers who are well-versed in high-end consumer offerings. As such, brands

Automated Creation
Consumers move from curating to creating with art-encouraging resources
Implications - The younger generation is obsessed with avoiding the tedious professions that wreak havoc on their parents, resulting in a need to create.
Many online resources and apps have been released as a result. This suits the desire to create, instead of simply curate, artistic content, accelerating the
content creation abilities granted to consumers via Twitter and other micro-blogging sites.

Streamlined Feedback

some cases incentivize customer engagement. This is consistent with an increasingly customized, consumer-driven approach to customer service.

Crowdsourced Reward
Enterprises crowdsource rewards to give back to consumers
Evolving to become more than just a place for marketing and developing products, crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platforms are putting a greater
emphasis on the consumer by openly giving prizes and rewards instead of asking for something in return. Utilizing the power of social platforms to grant
wishes and raise funds for people like athletes, enterprises are publicly promoting rewards to connect with consumers in a more heartfelt manner. This
signifies a turn toward more consumer-focused online endeavors.
