“…Fashion is primarily concerned with newness (Evans, 1989), and is often considered as a novel way for fashion adopters to express their “self” to others (Midgley and Wills, 1979). Fashion is a representation of the pursuit of individuality, within a socially acceptable uniqueness (Sproles, 1985).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore how the shopping mall environment impacts on hedonic and utilitarian shopping experiences, and approach behaviour of fashion leaders and followers. Design/methodology/approach -Fashion shoppers' response and behaviour has been modelled in an invariant multigroup latent structural path analysis. Paths were initially constrained and then released as required. More than 300 usable questionnaires were acquired from a mall intercept in a regional urban middleclass shopping centre. Participants were probed on their attitude about fashion, perception of the shopping mall, present mood, shopping value and approach behaviour toward the mall. Findings -The mall environment directly influences fashion leaders' hedonic shopping experience and approach behaviour. Fashion followers' hedonic shopping experience may be mood driven, while that of fashion leaders' is triggered by higher involvement cognitive processing. Research limitations/implications -This study was carried out in one fashion-oriented urban mall in Montreal, and should be replicated to other locations and markets. A larger sample would allow the inclusion of additional constructs. Practical implications -Mall owners and developers might appeal to fashion leaders through offering services that will speed up their shopping trip, using high-tech methods to convey fashion information and by branding the mall. Fashion followers and laggards are likely to respond to experience-oriented strategies that make their shopping trip more pleasurable. Originality/value -Although fashion consumer groups have been studied from various perspectives, no research was found that investigates the integrated shopping experience of fashion shoppers in a shopping mall setting. This study fills the void.
