Length: 6:20 mins

I’m Lily! a 20-year-old Marketing & PR student, small business owner, and fashion lover. In this episode, I explore how social media has completely reshaped the fashion industry. From the rise of micro-trends to the way small brands (like mine!) are growing entirely online, I unpack what’s changed, what’s working, and what we might be losing along the way.

What You’ll Hear:
Why Instagram and TikTok made fashion more accessible

The role of influencers and micro-influencers in trendsetting

How small brands grow through content, not catwalks

The double-edged sword of copy-paste trends

Behind the scenes of Lil’s Rentals growth online

Academic research and stats that back it all up

Social media hasn’t just changed the way we see fashion, it’s changed who we see in fashion.
