Media make billions of dollars yearly by marketing mass communication to large audiences globally, influencing business by the purchases made as a result of advertising such as television, websites, magazines and social media. Advertising can have wide ranging influences in culture, especially for young people.

What they see acceptable in society is based on what images media has imposed on them. Celebrities have the greatest influence on youth around the world, and they impact a lot of youths’ ideas about fashion and its importance. For example, having a favorite celebrity, such as Justin Bieber, promote his own line of perfume “Girlfriend” contributes to the newest youth trends. Not only are youth making a fashion statement by using this brand, they also affect the profitability of the
product line by motivating the youth to buy the product. In this case, not only did the brand sell one bottle of perfume per minute, but sales increased 132% in the last year (“Aguilera”).
Clothing. Clothing is also an important component of fashion in the youth today. Celebrities’ individual fashion statements may affect youth and their decisions on what they should wear.
