Gen Z and Gen Alpha: The Generational Shift That Will Transform Fashion by 2035

Unlike any previous generation, Gen Z and Gen Alpha have grown up in an environment where physical reality coexists effortlessly with digital and algorithmic layers. Gen Z came of age with the internet and the first smartphones, while Gen Alpha is the first generation raised with artificial intelligence integrated into daily life from early childhood. As a result, their relationship with fashion is entirely different. A garment is no longer just a physical object; it is simultaneously a digital representation and the output of an algorithmic process that analyzes tastes, moods, habits and even future travel plans. These consumers inhabit three dimensions at once. In the physical realm, they look for authenticity, design coherence and emotional value. In the digital realm, fashion becomes a space for accelerated self-expression, where looks multiply daily and gain a separate existence on social platforms, avatars and immersive environments. In the algorithmic realm, AI becomes a creative partner that inspires new combinations and anticipates preferences.

Young Consumers and Luxury: Spending Under the Microscope

The luxury industry is entering a phase of reflection.

It is no longer about possession, but about justifying the value of every purchase.

According to the Bain-Altagamma 2025 report, the sector is experiencing a “healthy slowdown” after years of euphoria, showing flat or slightly negative growth. Luxury houses are recalibrating: focusing less on volume and more on purpose, profitability, and genuine emotional connection with the client.
