For Gen Z consumers, food is the new luxury. Known for romanticizing everyday life, Gen Z creators on social media are swapping luxury bags and unboxing videos for branded smoothies and sandwiches. Why the shift? 🤔 Millennials and Gen Z are now less focused on big purchases – like homes – and moreso indulging in everyday luxuries that feed into the current “treat yourself” culture. This is why Erewhon's branded smoothies work so well to appeal to their target audience. Gen Z sees food as a status symbol, meaning these branded smoothies are a way for them to signal their cultural relevance and trendiness. Limited production runs and seasonal collaborations also create a sense of exclusivity and desirability among young consumers. From working with celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Matilda Djerf to brands like Summer Fridays and Poosh, Erewhon definitely understands and capitalizes on the viral potential of their smoothie collaborations. Would you buy a $18 smoothie? #erewhon #brandmarketing #brandcollaborations

This recent article from Vogue Business resonated with me because, in today's fast-paced world, experiences matter more than material possessions. Food has become a form of self-expression and social currency for my generation. From beautifully plated dishes to innovative culinary creations, food is not just about eating; it's about culture, identity, and personal expression. One aspect of this culinary revolution that excites me is the resurgence of tablesetting. Once seen as old-fashioned, tablesetting is making a modern comeback. I believe it's a reflection of our desire to create meaningful experiences and connections. We're reimagining tablescapes as a way to elevate our dining experiences and make them more memorable. For me, tablesetting is about blending minimalism with maximalism, tradition with innovation. It's about expressing my personality and style through eclectic combinations of tableware, textures, and colors. Sustainability is also a key factor. I'm passionate about using sustainable materials to align my dining habits with my values. In essence, I see the resurgence of tablesetting as a testament to our generation's innovative spirit and commitment to authenticity. It's a way for us to slow down, connect with others, and savor the moment—one beautifully set table at a time.
Online, food is in #fashion. Known for romanticising everyday life, Gen Z creators on #socialmedia are swapping the luxury bags and Zara separates in their hauls and unboxing videos, for smoothies and sandwiches — and audiences are eating it up. During the pandemic, #GenZs began romanticising their daily lives, placing added value on simple pleasures like going for a walk, making a meal or grabbing a takeaway coffee and turning it into content. Food trends entered the mainstream, from dalgona coffee to banana bread. In response, fashion and beauty brands are seeing the value in aligning with food institutions or using popular foods at events or in campaigns to build brand equity online.

In good taste. 'Good taste' is like your favourite pizza toppings – it is often personal. And what's classy or cool to someone might not be the same for another. Your style, your upbringing, the things you're into, and where you're from - all that shapes what is 'in good taste.' And in context, of course, art and fashion influence greatly what's 'trendy' or 'classy’ but personal taste still plays a role, whereby nowadays influencers can have as much to do with trends as large companies. Whether they're fashion bloggers, social media stars, or personalities with a significant online presence, they have a direct line to their audience. They can showcase their personal style, preferences, and recommendations to a massive number of followers. This direct connection with their audience gives them immense power to influence what's cool or fashionable. And so, understanding and acknowledging the diverse comfort levels and style preferences among different generations are crucial for both customers and employees. The way a business presents itself, including through employee attire, can significantly impact its appeal to specific demographics and customer segments. Being cognizant and adaptable to all these different tastes keeps the brand on top. It's relevant in a market that's always changing. So, catering to generational style preferences isn't just nice—it's a smart move that keeps the brand strong and winning, for customers and employees. #employeerelations #luxury #training #hospitality

In the same way that TV chefs would love someone to invent smell-a-vision, luxury fragrance brands wish that there was a way online consumers could experience the full sensory impact of their products. Sadly, neither is possible right now, so how can you make a fragrance seem desirable if you can’t rely on its scent to sell it? As with so many things in 2024, the answer lies in social media. More specifically, the takeover of social media platforms by younger consumers. Today’s digital natives are more likely to be concussed by a falling coconut than buy something without first seeing what their favourite influencer thinks about it. And that can only mean one thing for fragrance brands looking to future-proof their lines: Ditch the cookie-cutter sales strategies and elitist campaigns aimed at a smaller, more affluent market and embrace strategies that focus on the individual needs of the modern consumer. If you can find a way that taps into the digital lifestyle and emotional well-being priorities of younger markets – while remaining faithful to your roots – you’ll have the key to brand longevity and predictable, forecastable income. #Fragrance #Marketing #Distribution #SocialMedia #Branding

How many times have you heard the older generation say- ‘if you stop buying coffee every day and avocado toast, you’ll be able to afford a house?’🤐 Well Gen Z are ignoring these types of questions and living life to the fullest by treating themselves to everyday luxuries instead of saving towards one big purchase of a lifetime. With the rise of TikTok trends such as ‘romanticising your everyday life’, ‘come with me to Erewhon’ or ‘check out my Whole Foods haul’ some people are even getting second jobs just to afford these everyday luxuries. At $25 a smoothie, the monthly cost of a daily Erewhon could buy a Prada crossbody bag. For Gen Z, this daily luxury is more important. I think in the world's current economic state, I can admire Gen Z’s approach to adding value to simple pleasures in life, and maybe we can all learn a little something from them. Most of us are constantly in a state of worry when it comes to the cost of living crisis, but sometimes you do have to remember to live your life still and give yourself those little treats, whether that’s your daily coffee or your avocado toast at your favourite brunch spot. Is luxury to you, treating yourself to designer clothes or treating yourself to an expensive cake?🎂🎂🎂 https://lnkd.in/eEezebfc #SocialMedia #Linkedin #Business #Food #Fashion
To Gen Z, food is the new luxury. What does that mean for fashion?

Instead of just building fame around your product... focus on creating a whole universe around your brand that the audience can immerse themselves in. Right now, winning brands have a point of view on life, not just in their category. As an example, here is the latest collaboration from TATCHA and Rocky’s Matcha, created to celebrate the new product, Matcha Cleanse. The brands created a whole experience around it, even inventing a new drink: MATCHA TACHA. Not only is it a perfect merging of two brand worlds, but it is also an experience that allows Tatcha to make their mark beyond the beauty category, moving into lifestyle. I wrote about the importance of gathering your audience in real life in the Power of Belonging Trend Spotlight (https://lnkd.in/dU7iqxqg). What are your thoughts? Video from @tatcha Instagram. #digitalmarketing #strategy #beautymarketing #beautytrends
