Findings: The results of this research tell us which variables have a positive influence on consumer loyalty tofashion brands,where brand image, satisfaction and consumer happiness are the determining variables of loyalty. Research limitations/implications: This model has important implications and contributes both to theliterature and to the choice of differentiation and brand positioning strategies for marketing to a globaland highly competitive market.
