Limited fashion products serve as a strategy for demonstrating the brand’s vitality and presence by satisfying the emotional needs of consumers seeking to escape from the boredom of similar products. The MZ generation values unique experiences and desires to purchase rare and unique products. Accordingly, the fashion industry prioritizes launching limited fashion products that emphasize artistry and can convey different values compared to existing products. The open-run phenomenon, characterized by people waiting in line before the store opens and then running to the store to purchase these limited products as soon as the store opens, is rapidly emerging as a consumer trend in our society. This study explored the impact of fashion consumers’ psychological factors-that is, FOMO, brand attachment, and need for uniqueness-on their open-run intention for limited fashion products. An online survey was administered to test the research hypotheses on Korean consumers, and 300 responses were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 28.0 program. The results revealed that FOMO, brand attachment, and the need for uniqueness significantly increased open-run intention for limited fashion products. Furthermore, consumers’ fashion involvement appeared to have a significant positive moderating effect on FOMO, brand attachment, and open-run intention. However, it did not substantially impact the effect of the need for uniqueness on open-run intention.

In a situation where the importance of eco-friendly fashion is growing, this study adds to the needed research by analyzing consumption value satisfaction factors, brand image, and repurchase intentions of eco-friendly fashion products. During the investigation, the impact of gender was also accounted for to establish an effective marketing strategy. In June 2024, 250 surveys were evaluated from domestic consumers with experience purchasing eco-friendly fashion products. Descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were performed. Five factors were measured to determine satisfaction with the consumption value of eco-friendly fashion products: emotional value, functional value, social and situational value, passive value, and rare and eco-friendly value. Empirically subdividing satisfaction with eco-friendly fashion as recognized by consumers reveals meaningful findings about consumption value. Among the factors of consumption value satisfaction with eco-friendly fashion products, functional value, social and situational value, and rare and eco-friendly value all positively affected repurchase intention. The consumer’s gender also made a difference in satisfaction. Considering these results, the marketing effect of eco-friendly fashion can be increased. This study will be able to increase the ESG management effect of fashion companies. By performing ESG management, the fashion industry can achieve social and environmental responsibility along with sustainable growth.
