Increasing communication between consumers and key players through social media platforms and online retail stores drives the latest trendy luxury apparel sales. The rise in online transactions has supported the market growth of luxury apparel over the last few years. Consumer-specific attractive promotions and advertising through magazines and social media influence the sales of luxury apparel, as nearly half of the buying decisions are majorly influenced by what consumers see or hear from offline and online platforms.

• Luxury apparel is mainly considered a status symbol for individuals and drives discretionary spending among consumers with high purchasing power. The increasing popularity of luxury apparel among millennials is driving market growth as they are more likely to be caused by the latest fashion trends than other consumer groups. Improvement in digital marketing and a rise in the use of digital media in developing economies for product marketing has been playing a pivotal role in driving the luxury apparel market's growth over the last few years.
• The improving supply chain and distribution of luxury apparel have also been driving the market studied. For example, in December 2021, Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Competition approved the joint venture between G Distribution B.V and Al Rubaiyat Co. for Industry & Trade Holding to sell and distribute Gucci products in the Kingdom. During the review period, LVHM also launched its multi-brand website to increase its accessibility among consumers.
• Moreover, premium brands are also tapping into the growing demand for modest wear across countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and others which are gaining traction among consumers willing to address both spiritual and stylistic requirements. Globally, the modest fashion industry has reached to USD 277 billion mark (State of the Global Islamic Economy Report 2020/21), with Saudi Arabia representing one of the significant market shares. This is aided by the country's robust modern retailing, the demand for global brands, and the growing Muslim population, creating a lucrative space for luxury brands.
• Recently, in 2022, Gucci launched its Nojum - a modest collection explicitly designed for the unostentatious needs of the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia. Such innovations have been driving the market studied.
