Abstract
The current carrier of consumerist society, the fashion industry determines not only trends but also beauty standards. Advertising campaigns have used models representing ideal body image but brands today are faced with the task of marketing to the new segment called Generation Z. Today's major platform, new media, rebels against ideal beauty standarts. The body positivity movement of those who share flaws without retouching has also emerged. Which of these trends an individual embraced also determines the individual's consumption culture. In this study, which of the body perceptions encouraged Gen Z women to buy is tried to understand. Hence, focus group technique, a qualitative method, was used in the research and questions compiled from certain advertisement images were asked to 2 focus groups which 20 female students belonging to Gen Z were selected in. As a result, it is understood that Gen Z finds marketing campaigns with various body representations favourable but the campaigns they find too marginal disassociates them with the brand. It is understood that these marketing campaigns may not been embraced in Türkiye as much as in Western societies and it may jeopardize brand love of costumers.
