LONDON – The upcoming Generation Z members are brand-focused rather than product-focused, meaning that they may opt for wearing counterfeit luxury items rather than waiting for the money to buy the real thing, according to a study from the ESSEC School of Business.
Gen Z members are highly opinionated, speak their minds and are online natives, meaning that they have completely given rise to nontraditional brand ambassadors. However, this could mean that since Gen Z members are so brand-focused, they know the value of luxury products but since they do not have the money to pay for them, they could still buy their products.
