The VSCO girl starter pack: how brands can target the latest Gen-Z consumer

Retailers, you may have heard her name bandied about the internet. She evolved from the ‘Basic Bitch.’ She’s meme-able and environmentally aware with disposable income to spend on mid-market brands. Enter Gen-Z’s latest champion: the VSCO girl.

With new trends emerging at lightspeed, the teen market can be a tough area to crack. EDITED’s retail data platform can help businesses take the guesswork out of planning, pricing, and phasing assortments within this sector. Buckle up as we give you the guide to win over the VSCO girl or get in touch here to see EDITED in action for your category.

So what is a VSCO Girl?

The most up to date embodiment of ‘Basic Bitch.’

The term that was coined back in 2009, the teen girl once stereotypically clutching a pumpkin spiced latte in Ugg boots is now seen with a refillable water bottle in hand and slip-on Vans.

Or the 2019 ‘Valley Girl’

Generally speaking, they are from affluent backgrounds – brands are important and they have the allowance to buy into them.

The name VSCO comes from an app

This demographic are masters of creating content and they perfect their Instagram by using a specific filter on an app called VSCO – this is where the name comes from. It’s a more stripped back version of Instagram – there’s no advertising and no comments feature – two reasons why it’s opted for. The app encourages users to use the platform for creative content and self-expression.

They’re Gen-Z

This tribe are high school age, although a lot of the 90s inspired products they wear are applicable to the wider market.

They care about the environment

Turtles and the ocean in particular, perhaps because of their California roots. Beaches and settings in nature often play backdrop to selfies that they might post.

Make-up is minimal

Complementing the interest in nature, they opt for lip balms or glosses over lipsticks and no contouring is in sight. They shop at Glossier over Kylie Cosmetics.

90s nostalgia is important

Take the most sugar-coated parts – stickers, friendship bracelets, scrunchies and lip gloss. They’re in no rush to grow up, slumber parties and trampolines are other important activities of interest.

They’re owning this label

Creating content that plays up to it and pokes fun at the stereotype – to the point that it’s difficult to decipher what’s real and what’s not…

Part of the VSCO lifestyle involves owning a specific set of branded products. Download our free report to discover the key brands and trends winning over this cohort.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp lea

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant. I'm proud to say that after almost six months of planning, many roadblocks, and countless pivots — all while maintaining our day-to-day restaurant operatio
