Answers were sought to the following research questions: 1) what were the circumstances of the emergence of fashion blogs in Poland between 2012 and 2023 and were they used quite often by Polish fashion companies as a communication tool? 2) what were the characteristics of the presented content on blogs and how were the blogs of Polish female owners of fashion companies managed? 3) to what extent did the activity of female fashion bloggers influence the recognition of own and co-founder brands? 4) what was the extent of influence of fashion blogs on consumer behaviour between 2010 and 2023? The following research methods were used in the study: quantitative, historical, behavioural, decision-making and comparative analysis.
