How Can Conspicuous Omni-Signaling Fulﬁl Social Needs and Induce Re-Consumption?

: This study investigated consumer behaviors in conspicuous omni-signaling—its internal motivations and its consequences on social needs fulﬁlment and re-consumption intention in the context of luxury fashion. A phenomenon of conspicuous consumption is identiﬁed with the consumption and display of conspicuous goods to signal status, wealth, and prestige. Digital development has made conspicuous signaling radically emerge in social media through the posting of photos, videos, or stories of luxury goods. This drives an emerging phenomenon of conspicuous omni-signaling, the use of both ofﬂine and online media to signal conspicuous consumption hybridlike. As a new phenomenon, little is known of consumer behaviors related to conspicuous omni-signaling. To facilitate the investigation, an online survey was conducted to collect data from 474 valid respondents across eight cities representing various conspicuous consumption characteristics of Indonesian consumers. Veblen’s conspicuous consumption and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theories were employed as the main lens for analysis. PLS-SEM technique was employed as the research model uses mixed reﬂective and formative constructs. WarpPLS 7.0 was then used for data analysis. The results indicated that luxury values and fashion consciousness positively affect conspicuous omni-signaling. This study also found that conspicuous omni-signaling affects conspicuous re-consumption both directly and indirectly through social needs fulﬁlment. This study contributes to extend the concept of conspicuous ofﬂine consumption and conspicuous online consumption to conspicuous omni-signaling. This study also conﬁrms conﬂicting results in the effect of conspicuous consumption on social needs fulﬁlment, and conﬂicting results in the effect of conspicuous consumption on conspicuous re-consumption.


Introduction
Conspicuous goods, in contrast to inconspicuous goods, refers to any goods which are highly visible, observable, and noticeable, that attract attention of others and are designed to signal self-identity, status, wealth, and prestige-with the main purposes to obtain respect, admiration, authority, and relationship [1]. Meanwhile conspicuous consumption refers to the purchase, consumption, or use of goods to wastefully signal self-identity, wealth, status, and prestige rather than to satisfy utilitarian needs or the real needs of consumers [2].
Several theories exist as to explain the reasons why individuals consume conspicuously. Some theorists suggest that it is due to the competitive nature of individuals as the ownership of conspicuous goods signals the superiority of the possessors and their status in society over the non-possessors [3]. Conspicuous consumption involves the display of "pecuniary strength" and hence social standing in a competitive social system [4]. Some other theorists claim that it is due to the insecurity of individuals that drives them to consume conspicuously as people use conspicuous goods to hide their personal insecurities, every minute and more than 5 billion videos watched every day in You Tube [13]. At the same time information and communication technology (ICT) and mobile connectivity in Indonesia have been rapidly developing, with 203 million internet users representing 77% population reach (+16%) in 2021 [14], and 345 million mobile connectivity representing 126% population [15]. This triggered an alternative from a traditional way of offline conspicuous signaling to online conspicuous signaling [16]. Studies suggested that an increasing usage of visual representations (image/photo and video) on social media tends to increase the focus of consumers alike on conspicuous signaling [17]. Recent social and mobility restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the development of online conspicuous signaling [18], triggering the emergence usage of offline and online conspicuous signaling hybridlike [19], and resulting in the new era of conspicuous omni-signaling phenomena.
As an emerging phenomenon, there is still a lack of studies in understanding consumer behaviors regarding conspicuous omni-signaling. The existing literature mainly studied offline conspicuous consumption as the traditional way of signaling conspicuous goods to others other [20,21]. The literature in online conspicuous consumption is growing, particularly focusing on the roles of social media to signal conspicuous consumption [22,23]. Moreover, the current literature studying omni-channels is mainly focused on omni-sales channels in relation to consumer-brand/product-seller. However, a visible gap is noticeable in the literature examining conspicuous omni-signaling in relation to consumer-brand/product-audience.
Hence, little is known in consumer behaviors related to conspicuous omni-signaling, including its motivation and its consequences. This study therefore aims to answer the following objectives: • How consumers' psychological motives affect conspicuous omni-signaling; • How consumers' fashion consciousness affects conspicuous omni-signaling; • How conspicuous omni-signaling affects social needs fulfillment which would then lead to conspicuous re-consumption; • How conspicuous omni-signaling induces conspicuous re-consumption.
Investigating this emerging phenomenon of conscious omni-signaling may help in extending conspicuous consumption theory into conspicuous omni-consumption and have managerial benefits for fashion practitioners.
To facilitate the investigation, an online consumer survey was conducted in eight metropolitan cities across Indonesia. Nine hundred and twenty-five respondents participated in the survey and were asked to evaluate their perceived values on luxury fashion, perception of their fashion consciousness, their attitude towards conspicuous omni-signaling, and their behaviors related to social needs fulfilment and conspicuous re-consumption. Four hundred and seventy-four valid data were analyzed using PLS-SEM method utilizing WarpPLS 7.0. The results provide theoretical explanations as to how consumer's psychological motives affect conspicuous omni-signaling, and in turn how conspicuous omni-signaling affects social needs fulfillment and conspicuous re-consumption.

Theoretical Framework
This research uses the Stimuli-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model as the framework and employs two theories: Veblen's conspicuous consumption theory and Maslow' human motivation theory. Conspicuous consumption theory is used to analyze overall consumer behaviors and to analyze the relationships between constructs in the research model. Meanwhile, Maslow's human motivation theory is used to explain the motivation for conspicuous omni-signaling and its consequences.
In S-O-R model, stimulus includes both individual/internal factor (such as perceived values, consciousness) and external factors (such as environment) that stimulate individuals affecting their decision making [24]. Organism is represented by cognitive and affective intermediary states and processes (reflected by feeling pleasure, arousal, proud, prestige, and acceptable) that mediate the relationships between the stimulus and the individual's responses [25]. While response refers to all physical, verbal, and nonverbal behavioral responses, in which previous research have measured purchase intention, re-consumption or revisit intention, and loyalty as responses [26]. In this study, the stimuli consist of consumers' psychological motives and consumers' fashion consciousness. The organism in is reflected in experiences, cognitive, affective, and psychology states and processes emerge from conspicuous omni-signaling. While the responses are consumers' social needs fulfillment, and conspicuous re-consumption.
According to conspicuous consumption theory, people do wasteful spending to show off and expose wealth [27]. Instead of maximizing the utilizations of the products, the theory suggests that individual's preferences on conspicuous consumption are determined socially in relation to the individual hierarchical position. This differentiates conspicuous products from routine or regular products, in which conspicuous product's satisfaction comes not merely from the material utilization, but more from explicit comparisons to others when consuming goods, services and leisure to portray actual and aspirational status [28]. Moreover, conspicuous consumption is a source of self-expression of democratic, individuality, creativity, pleasure, lifestyle, and self-identity [29]. In this study, consumers' perception of luxury consumption values and fashion consciousness are investigated as motivating factors to signal their conspicuous consumption to others to build social status, social image, prestige, and self-identity.
Costly signaling theory suggests that individuals often engage in behaviors that are costly (involves significant amount of money, resources, energy, risk, or time) as a way of signaling useful information about themselves to others [30]. In this study, conspicuous signaling is a costly signal behavior as it requires wasting money to possess conspicuous goods, is easily observable to others as the goods is shown off to others, the display of goods is to signal goods possession, and the signal is an indicator to others of wealth, status, and prestige.
Maslow's human motivation theory or hierarchy of needs theory [31] suggests five basic needs driving or motivating human behaviors, represented in an iconic pyramid: physiological, safety/security, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs. The theory describes the psychological needs consist of belongingness and love needs, and esteem needs. Self-esteem and self-actualization are located at the top of the pyramid, in which self-esteem can be achieved through personal achievement, while self-actualization may be fulfilled via personal growth up to a mature person and to live up to one's own full potential [32].
Recognizing different cultures between Western and Asia, Maslow's hierarchy of needs level 3, 4 (psychological needs), and 5 (self-fulfillment needs) were adopted into Asia context as shown in Figure 1 [33] becoming social needs. Hence, belongingness and love needs (level 3) become affiliation needs, while esteem needs (level 4) become admiration needs. Finally, self-actualization needs (level 5) become status needs. In this study, the satisfaction of conspicuous signaling does not arise only from functional needs as the conventional goods, but rather from the satisfaction of symbolic values and desire [34]. Hence, motivation for conspicuous signaling is related more to fulfilment of social needs, located at level 3, 4, and 5 of Maslow's pyramid (Asia).
Prior studies in conspicuous signaling have primarily focused on offline signaling through meeting in person or online signaling through social media. While conspicuous omni-signaling is emerging, there is still a lack of study focusing on this phenomenon. Table 1 summarizes differences between previous studies and this study, in which this study fills the gap in conspicuous omni-signaling. Independent variables studied in previous research in conspicuous offline or conspicuous online signaling were analyzed and this study pitched to examine fashion consciousness (FC) and luxury values (LV) as antecedents of conspicuous omni-signaling (CS). Simultaneously, dependent variables studied in previous research as consequences of conspicuous offline or conspicuous online signaling were compared, and this study pitched to investigate social needs fulfilment (SF) and conspicuous re-consumption (RI) as the consequences of conspicuous omni-signaling. Figure 2 illustrates the conceptual framework of this study.

Conspicuous Omni-Signaling
Although consumers' needs and wants influence consumption, much of modern consumption behaviors are driven more by social considerations. What products or brands we consume say about us, therefore people consume different products or brands to signal identity, status, and values [44]. Conspicuous consumption may be a prevalent way of signaling such that consumption decisions are motivated not only by the direct value of a product, but by the indirect value gained from what the product might communicate to others. Consumers indeed tend to display their conspicuous goods or experiences such as consuming a certain luxury brand to signal social status, and their group they belong to to satisfy social needs, gain recognition, or social affirmation [4].
A theory that may help explain such expensive behaviors is costly signaling theory which suggests that individuals often engage in costly behaviors as a way of signaling to others useful information about themselves [30]. Using a costly signaling theory, conspicuous signaling is an act of conspicuous display of resources that signals an individual's ability to incur costs by even wasting money and time-serves to increase status and prestige [45].
Wallace et al. defined two constructs related to conspicuous signaling, i.e., self-oriented conspicuous virtue signaling (CVS) and others-oriented CVS [40]. Self-oriented CVS referred to virtue signaling behavior to achieve intrinsic benefits and allows the individual to enhance their public profile which makes them feel good. Others-oriented CVS is virtue signaling behavior focused on signaling virtuous behavior to others. This study defines conspicuous omni-signaling as the extent of consumer psychological, affective, and cognitive internal processes emerged from using, wearing, showing, sharing, or displaying luxury fashion brands offline (face to face meeting) and online (social media), hybridlike, with the purpose of signaling social status, wealth, prestige, taste, self-image, and identity to their reference groups [40].

Luxury Values
The concept of "luxury value" was first systematically introduced by Veblen through his seminal work "the theory of the leisure class". He postulated that achieving social status and demonstrating wealth are major motivators for luxury consumption, with the main objectives to belong to a certain reference group, and to differentiate from lower class group. This Veblen's postulate is later known as conspicuous value. Luxury value therefore refers to consumer's perception on conspicuous value of luxury goods that motivate them for conspicuous consumption [4].
Wiedmann et al. developed value-based segmentation of luxury consumption behaviors, in which luxury values was defined as consumers perception of and motives for purchase of luxury brands, including functional value, individual value, social value, and financial value [46]. Zhang and Zhao defined luxury value as the values consumers attach to luxury consumption and access to luxury brands, including uniqueness, quality, usability, and social [47]. Meanwhile, Choo et al. defined luxury values for luxury fashion as the basic features of luxury fashion brands which implies the reason and desire a customer seeks through luxury consumption, and propose luxury customer values to include utilitarian, hedonic, symbolic, and economy [48]. This study defines luxury values as the consumers' perception on functional, experiential, personal, and social values of luxury fashion that motivate them to signal their consumption to others [46].

Fashion Consciousness
Self-consciousness may be approached from two angles: private self-consciousness and public self-consciousness, in which the private consciousness reflects the latent side of a consumer and not visible to others, while the public consciousness indicates the way a consumer reflects him/herself to others and how others perceive them [49]. Prior studies argued that public fashion consciousness is related to fashion involvement and fashion-ability [50]. Furthermore, past studies also suggested that highly public fashion-conscious consumers tend to be highly concerned about their fashion appearance, highly related to fashion opinion leadership, fashion perceived ability, and fashion involvement [50].
Nam et al. defined fashion consciousness as a consumer's degree of involvement with the styles, fashion, or clothing-characterized by an interest in clothing, fashion, and in one's appearance [51]. Fashion consciousness also refers to fashion involvement to the perceived personal relevance to or interest in fashion clothing [52] or a person's degree of involvement with clothing styles or fashion and implies an interest in fashion styles and someone's appearance [50]. This study refers fashion consciousness to public selfconsciousness and is defined as consumer's degree of involvement with the styles or fashion or clothing, characterized by an interest in fashion styles and his/her appearance [51].

Social Needs Fulfilment
In the consumerism era, fulfilling social needs is one of the most important motivations in human life. Maslow defined social needs as the human basic needs for love, belonging, relationship, acceptance, esteem, prestige, status, and feeling of accomplishment [53]. Maslow's hierarchy of needs levels 3, 4, and 5, which were later adapted for Asian collectivist culture into social needs, consist of affiliation, admiration, and social status [33]. Fulfilling social needs protects against feeling loneliness and social isolation, and at the same time found to have a positive contribution on self-esteem, life-fulfilment, and well-being [54].
According to SPF theory (Social Productivity Function)-needs refer to a restricted set of basic physical and social needs that have to be at least minimally fulfilled for an individual to experience overall well-being [55]. Besides two basic physical needs (comfort and stimulation), the theory defines three basic social needs consist of affection, behavioral confirmation, and social status. Fulfillment of these social needs leads to an increase in wellbeing and happiness. Affection refers to the sense that others care about us-which can be fulfilled with love, trust, understanding, intimacy, and belonging [56]. Moreover, behavioral confirmation refers to the sense that we do appropriate things as what people do in our social community-which can be fulfilled with approval, appreciation, encouragement, and being part of a group. While social status refers to the sense that we achieve more than others, known for our achievements, skill, or assets-which can be fulfilled with respect, praise, and influence. Hence, social needs fulfilment in this study refers to the consumers' fulfilment of social needs (including affiliation, admiration, and social status) in Maslow's hierarchy of basic needs as a result of conspicuous omni-signaling of luxury fashion [33].

Conspicuous Re-Consumption Intention
Repetition is a process of reclamation rather than recurrence as it reopens the past and translates it into new possibilities [57]. In the context of luxury fashion re-purchase intention refers to a consumer's interest in and the possibility of purchasing the product or brand again and found that consumers' positive emotions (such as enjoyment and happiness) lead to their post-purchase commitment, indicated by their repurchase intention or brand loyalty [58]. Hedonic or volitional re-consumption is defined as experiences that consumers actively and consciously seek to experience again due to its emotional rich, cognitive, and sensorial responses, the sheer pleasure, and inherent satisfaction they provide [59]. In this study, conspicuous re-consumption intention is defined as consumers' willingness to repeat consumption of luxury fashion again in the future to signal social status, wealth, prestige, taste, self-image, and identity to their reference groups [59].

The Effect of Luxury Values on Conspicuous Omni-Signaling
Individuals tend to be motivated to consume products that they perceive will signal and symbolize status for them [60]. Hence, an individual's needs for status may drive conspicuous consumption as it serves as motivation to look prestigious to others. Therefore, luxury values affected stronger desires for self-promotion and conspicuous signaling [42].
Consumption of conspicuous goods such as luxury brands is the most common to use for signaling uniqueness to enhance individual's image. Social comparison individuals are more likely to believe that others judge them by their consumption, therefore they tend to conform their social groups by consuming product/brand that most of his/group members consume [23]. Hence, needs for uniqueness and social comparison (luxury values) may positively influence conspicuous signaling. Moreover, perception of pride, need for uniqueness, and desire for access to elite social status (luxury values) are antecedents of conspicuous consumption [61]. Therefore, this hypothesis is proposed: H1: Luxury values positively affect conspicuous omni-signaling.

The Effect of Fashion Consciousness on Conspicuous Omni-Signaling
Fashion consciousness is usually used to assess an individual's beliefs and attitudes towards fashion, which affects his/her decision to consume fashion products. Fashion is classified as a high involvement product. Consumer involvement in fashion indicates their preference in fashion orientation and highlights their interest in physical appearance and how others perceive them [62]. Past studies suggested that highly public fashion conscious consumers tend to be highly concerned about their fashion appearance, highly related to fashion opinion leadership, fashion perceived ability, fashion involvement, and conspicuous consumption [50]. In the context of fashion consumption, therefore fashion consciousness arguably positively affects conspicuous consumption.
Fashion consciousness, as a dimension of lifestyle is related to a desire for up-to-date styles, frequent changes, and pleasurable consumption experience, in which highly fashionconscious consumers are adventurous and eager to attract attention [63]. A new lifestyle or fashion relies on consumers' keen insights to follow and embrace new trends. Highly fashion-conscious individuals desire to learn and adopt the latest fashion trend [64], hence determines purchase and consumption behavior. Additionally, past studies also confirmed that fashion consciousness is related to purchase behaviors [65]. Therefore, this hypothesis is proposed: H2: Fashion consciousness positively affects conspicuous omni-signaling.

The Effect of Conspicuous Omni-Signaling on Social Needs Fulfilment
Conspicuous consumption has been inherently associated with motives to fulfil social needs, in which conspicuous consumption as status signals is related to consumers' actual or desired position in the social hierarchy. Past studies placed pursuit for fulfilling social needs (such as social status, respect, and admiration from others) as the central of consumers' motive for conspicuous consumption [17]. Indeed, consumers' satisfaction or needs fulfilment in conspicuous consumption does not merely arise from functional needs, but rather from others' reactions from the display of the consumption [66].
Social signal and auto signal were found as motivation for conspicuous consumption. Social signal contends that consumers tend to imitate the consumption of a higher class, differentiate from the lower class, and conform with their reference groups which therefore conspicuous consumption can fulfil social needs with sense of belonging, selfesteem, recognition, and respect; while auto signal is related to consumers themselves that conspicuous consumption can provide them with satisfaction, happiness, and a sense of achievement [27]. Moreover, conspicuous consumption results in multiple benefits for the consumer, including social needs fulfilment such as social recognition and compliance from others [67]. Conspicuous consumption also results in social needs fulfilment such as social status [36,68]. However, past studies also argued that conspicuous consumption is negatively correlated with meaning in life hence social needs fulfilment, particularly in collectivist culture [69]. To confirm these conflicting results, these hypotheses are proposed: H3: Conspicuous omni-signaling positively affects social needs fulfilment.

The Effect of Conspicuous Omni-Signaling on Re-Consumption Intention
Studies on decision making and choice model suggested that re-consumption is affected by prior consumption as people tend to enjoy the status quo, which is the tendency for people to maintain their current or previous decisions, or, other words, people tend to repeat it once decided [59]. Thus, previous choices reinforce subsequent ones, hence when consumers faced with options, they tend to stick with status quo alternative such as consuming the same brand or wearing the same clothing. Moreover, recent studies suggested that the association between self and object (such as brand) is built through series of consumptions, hence it triggers consumers to repeat consumptions [70].
Consumption is not just about cognitive in nature, but as an affective, experiential process, and a flow of fantasies and feelings, which can be both positive and negative emotions of pleasure and guilt. Hence, conspicuous consumption provides consumers with a sense of pleasure derived from feelings of achievement, success, and satisfaction from quality and utility of the product, which may lead to brand loyalty and re-consumption, while negative consumer experience may lead to an adverse impact of post-consumption behaviors [71]. Conspicuous consumption has also been proven significantly influences repurchase intention in the context of branded footwear/fashion [72].
However, several other studies argued that the relationship between conspicuous consumption and re-consumption intention is indirect and mediated by consumption related emotions such as pleasure and guilt [58], consumers' emotion [73], and consumers' engagement [74]. To confirm these conflicting results, these hypotheses are proposed: H4: Conspicuous omni-signaling positively affects re-consumption intention directly.
H5: Conspicuous omni-signaling positively affects re-consumption intention indirectly through social needs fulfilment.

The Effect of Social Needs Fulfilment on Re-Consumption Intention
Recent studies in consumer behaviors showed the relationship between social needs fulfilment and consumers-brand engagement, brand loyalty, repurchase, and repeat consumption. Satisfaction or needs fulfilment was found to positively influences customers' revisit intention in the context of luxury restaurants [75], green cruise lines [76], and cruise tours [77]. Prior studies in tourism and hospitality also suggested that customers' satisfaction predicts the level of revisit intention toward cruise tours [78]. Thus, studies confirmed the focal point of consumers needs fulfilment or satisfaction in inducing re-consumption. Hence, this hypothesis is proposed: H6: Social needs fulfilment positively affects re-consumption intention.

Sample Design and Data Collection
Indonesian consumers engaged in luxury fashion are likely from the middle and upper classes of the population living in urban areas [79]. To provide insights into the relationship between variables in the research model, an online survey was employed to collect respondents from 8 metropolitan cities (Jakarta, Bodetabek, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, and Manado) representing various conspicuous characteristics of Indonesian consumers. A stratified disproportionate sampling method was used, and non-probability purposive sampling was applied in each stratum. The survey leveraged targeted social media groups (particularly WhatsApp) with snowball effects from early-October 2022 to early-December 2022. The first 3 questions in the survey were used to filter validity of respondents representing adult luxury fashion consumers from middle and upper class, i.e., (i) has purchased luxury fashion item at least once in the last 1 year, (ii) age 25 years and above, (iii) monthly disposable income of 10 IDR million (700 USD) and above. A total of 925 persons participated in the survey with 740 completed responses, which resulted in 474 or 51% valid respondents as the sample. In the introduction section prior to the filter questions, a paragraph explaining product types of luxury fashion (such as apparels, handbags, and shoes) and examples of the brands were provided (covering 3 levels of Alleres' luxury in the hierarchy model). Table 2 illustrates demographic profile of respondents, with female majority (76%) reflecting female as the main consumers of luxury fashion; however, all genders are represented sufficiently in the sample. A total of 69% respondents were 40 years of age and above and 31% were 25-40 years, explained partially due to filter questions particularly the minimum of 10 IDR million (700 USD) disposable income level. However, all age groups of respondents were represented sufficiently. A total of 67% respondents had monthly disposable income at 10-25 IDR million (700-1750 USD), 24% at 26-50 IDR million (1751-3500 USD), and 9% at above 50 IDR million (3500 USD). All disposable income groups were represented sufficiently.  Table 2 also shows purchase behaviors of respondents. A total of 65% respondents purchased luxury fashion 1 or 2 times, 23% purchased 3-5 times, and 11% purchased more than 5 times in the last 1 year-which may be partially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The value of luxury fashion purchased by respondents spreads almost equally, ranging from 1-2.5 IDR million or 70-175 USD (22%), 2.5-5 IDR million or 176-350 USD (27%), 5-10 IDR million or 351-700 USD (24%), and above 10 IDR million or 700 USD (25%). Moreover, handbag is the most frequently purchased luxury fashion product by respondents, followed by shoes, apparel, perfume, and watches-as these products are the most visible to others and represent lifestyle, mode, trend, and reflect personality of consumers ( Figure 3).  Table 2 also shows purchase behaviors of respondents. A total of 65% respondents purchased luxury fashion 1 or 2 times, 23% purchased 3-5 times, and 11% purchased more than 5 times in the last 1 year-which may be partially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The value of luxury fashion purchased by respondents spreads almost equally, ranging from 1-2.5 IDR million or 70-175 USD (22%), 2.5-5 IDR million or 176-350 USD (27%), 5-10 IDR million or 351-700 USD (24%), and above 10 IDR million or 700 USD (25%). Moreover, handbag is the most frequently purchased luxury fashion product by respondents, followed by shoes, apparel, perfume, and watches-as these products are the most visible to others and represent lifestyle, mode, trend, and reflect personality of consumers ( Figure 3).

Measurement of Variables
This study employs existing scales from the previous literature to measure the constructs, in which all the scale items were translated into Indonesian. The scale types of all constructs are ordinal and the Likert scale is used to measure, as it is the most frequently and broadly used to measure consumers' perception, attitudes, and behaviors in business research [80]. Six points on the Likert scale are used, as Matell and Jacoby suggested, to minimize response uncertain or neutral is to use balanced even-numbered scales [81]. The measurement model of conspicuous omni-signaling construct is formative, while the other constructs are reflective.
Luxury value (LV) measurement is adapted from Han and Kim [26] and Wiedmann et al. [82] employs five indicators such as "luxury fashion is considered as symbol of prestige". Fashion consciousness (FC) measurement is based on Nam et al. [51] consists of four indicators such as "I usually have one or more outfits that are of the very latest style". Conspicuous omni-signaling (CS) is formative variable in which the measurement is adopted from Lewis and Moital [83] and Burnasheva and Suh [22] including offline and online dimensions. Offline dimension consists of 3 indicators such as "wearing luxury fashion increased my status and prestige". Online dimension consists of 3 indicators such as "posting luxury fashion in social media increased my self-esteem". Social needs fulfilment measurement is based on Taormina and Gao [84] using 5 indicators such as "I am completely satisfied with the prestige I have in the eyes of other people". Finally, conspicuous re-consumption intention (RI) measurement is adopted from Han and Kim [26] and Kim et al. [85] employs 5 indicators such as "I will purchase additional items from the same brand(s) of luxury fashion in the next 1 year". Table 3 summarizes measurement items of this study.

Data Analysis
This study employs PLS-SEM technique as it is suitable for mixed reflective and formative measurement model. To analyze the relationships between variables in the model, this study uses WarpPLS 7.0 due to its benefits of being non-linear regression, stable algorithm, and reliable for small and large samples [86]. Table 4 summarizes descriptive analysis of the variables in the study. Luxury values (LV) and conspicuous re-consumption intention (RI) have the highest means at 3.95 and 3.81, respectively, reflecting high perception of Indonesian consumers on luxury consumption values of fashion products, and high intention to re-consume it. On the other hand, fashion consciousness (FC) has the lowest mean at 3.16 reflecting lower fashion perceived ability and involvement compared to means of the other variables. All standard errors are at acceptable level. Skewness and Kurtosis of all variables are at acceptable level between −2.0 and +2.0 suggesting data normality [87].  Table 5 illustrates confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using WarpPLS 7.0 in which PLS regression algorithm was performed to assess reliability, validity, and multicollinearity of the scales. All indicators show loading factors above threshold of 0.50 and significant (p-value ≤ 0.05), suggesting convergence validity [87]. Similarly, the discriminant validity test also shows that all indicators are valid as the factor loading (bold) ≥ cross loadings or correlation between the indicator with the rest of latent variables. CFA procedure (Table 6) found that all constructs are reliable, valid, and no multicollinearity based on references from Hair and Brunsveld [87], i.e., Cronbach's alpha above 0.70, CR above 0.70, and AVE above 0.50. Convergence validity test using factor loading and AVE suggests that all the measurements are valid. Reliability test using Cronbach's Alpha and composite reliability (CR) also suggests that all constructs are reliable as all the scores are above threshold of 0.70. The analysis also suggests that there is no identified multicollinearity as VIF values for all variables are below 5. Moreover, discriminant validity test (Table 7) using Fornell-Larcker crterion is valid as the square root of the AVE (in the diagonal) is greater than the correlation between the construct and the rest of the constructs in the model. Additionally, discriminant validity test using HTMT ratio also suggests that all variables are valid as all values are <0.90 [86].

Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Several parameters and indices (Table 8) were used to ensure good fit of this research model. The coefficient of determination (R 2 ) reflects how well the regression model explains observed data [87]. The adjusted R 2 of CS at 0.636 means that 63.6% of the variability observed in CS is explained by the regressions (variable LV and FC). Adjusted R 2 of SF at 0.340 essentially indicates that 34.0% of SF variance is explained by the variance of CS. Subsequently adjusted R 2 of RI at 0.255 indicates that 25.5% of RI variance is explained by the variance of CS and SF. As adjusted R2 of CS, S F, and RI are above 0.2 the research model indicates good fit [87]. The predictive relevance (Q 2 ) in this study is to establish the predictive relevance of the endogenous constructs (CS, SF, RI) and to measure whether the research model has predictive relevance or not, in which >0 is good fit. Q 2 score of 0.02-0.15 is considered that the predictive strength of endogenous variable from exogenous variables is weak, 0.15-0.35 is moderate, and >0.35 is strong [87]. Results from this study show that Q 2 of CS at 0.638 indicates a strong predictive of CS from LV and FC. Similarly, Q 2 of SF and RI at 0.342 and 0.257 respectively, indicate a moderate predictive of SF from CS, and a moderate predictive of RI, from CS and SF. Hence, the Q 2 results indicate that the research model has good fit. Moreover, the model fit and quality indices also suggest that the research model has good fit [86]. APC, ARS, and AAR indices are significant with p < 0.001 indicating that the research model has good fit. The score of AVIF at 1.45 is better than the ideal level of <3.3; the score of GoF at 0.52 is better than the ideal level of >0.36, and the R 2 contribution ratio of 1.0 is at the ideal level of 1.0. The SRMR at 0.10 and SMAR at 0.08 are at the acceptable level of 0.1 which suggest the research model has good fit.

Structural Model and Hypothesis Test
To test the hypothesis, structural equation modeling was employed using WarpPLS 7.0, in which warp2 (U-curve) algorithm was performed to assess the path coefficients (β), and corresponding T-ratio and p-value to determine the path significance, as well as effect size (f 2 ) to determine the individual construct power and impact on endogenous latent variable. By convention, effect size of 0.02, 0.15, and 0.35 are considered as weak effect, moderate effect, and strong effect, respectively,-while acceptable threshold of T-ratio and p-value used in this study are ≥1.96 and ≤0.05, respectively [87]. Figure 4 illustrates the structural model results including path coefficients and p-values. The significance of the path coefficient is shown in p < 0.001 (***), p < 0.01 (**), and p < 0.05 (*).

Discussion and Theoretical Contribution
The findings of this study extend the concept of conspicuous offline-signaling and conspicuous online-signaling into conspicuous omni-signaling and conspicuous omniconsumption in general. Luxury values and fashion consciousness were both empirically shown as antecedents to conspicuous omni-signaling. While social needs fulfilment and conspicuous re-consumption were shown as consequences of conspicuous omni-signaling.
Moreover, insights into antecedents and consequences of conspicuous omni-signaling were also revealed.
First, this study identified that luxury values positively affect conspicuous omnisignaling. The existing literature suggested that luxury values (such as superior quality, pleasure, symbol of self-identity, social status, and prestige) motivate conspicuous consumption in both offline conspicuous consumption [60,61,69,88,89] and online conspicuous consumption [22,23,42]. The results validate the existing literature and extend it into conspicuous omni-signaling. Veblen's conspicuous consumption theory suggests that people consume luxury goods is mainly motivated to display wealth, status, and prestige rather than the real needs of individuals. The finding of this study supports this theory in conspicuous omni-consumption. Hence, high perception in luxury values motivates consumers to form favorable attitudes toward conspicuous omni-signaling as a means for showing off their individual and social image to others.
Second, this study found that fashion consciousness positively affects conspicuous omni-signaling. Past studies found that fashion consciousness influences conspicuous consumption [50,64,65]. The finding strengthens validity of past studies and extends it into conspicuous omni-signaling. Fashion adoption theory suggests that interests in fashion styles and self-appearance influence consumers' perception on the purpose of consuming a new fashion style, thus conspicuous consumption [90]. The findings support this theory in conspicuous omni-signaling. Hence, the higher the fashion consciousness, the higher the interest in fashion style and self-appearance resulting higher motivation to adopt, consume, and conspicuously omni-signal a new luxury fashion.
Third, this study identified conspicuous omni-signaling positively affects social needs fulfilment. The existing literature showed that conspicuous consumption has been inherently associated with motivation to fulfil social needs, and pursuit for fulfilling social needs as the central of consumers' motivation for conspicuous consumption [17]. The finding confirms conflicting results from past studies that conspicuous consumption positively influences social needs fulfilment [36,67,68] and extends it into conspicuous omni-signaling, but in contrast to Zhu et al. [69] who suggested conspicuous consumption as negatively correlated with social needs fulfilment. Zhu's finding may be due to specific collectivist culture in China.
Maslow's human motivation theory argues that individuals consume luxury fashion is essentially driven by deficiency in social needs. Positive experiences from consuming luxury fashion and positive response from others positively affect fulfilment of the individuals' social needs. The findings of this study support this theory in conspicuous omni-consumption as conspicuous omni-signaling found positively affects social needs fulfilment. Similarly, conspicuous consumption theory argues that the main purpose of conspicuous consumption is on the social satisfaction from the consumption when showing off to signal personal and social image to others. The findings also support this theory in conspicuous omni-signaling. Hence, positive experiences arise from conspicuous omni-signaling induces fulfilment of social needs.
Fourth, this study found conspicuous omni-signaling positively affects conspicuous re-consumption intention directly and indirectly through social needs fulfilment in one a research model. Past studies suggested that re-consumption is affected by prior consumption as consumers enjoy status quo [59]. The existing literature in conspicuous offline and online consumption showed the direct impact [70][71][72] and the indirect impact [50,73,74] of conspicuous consumption on re-consumption intention. The finding extends results of past studies into conspicuous omni-signaling and enhances analysis of the direct and indirect impact of conspicuous omni-signaling on re-consumption in one research model. Conspicuous consumption theory suggests that consumers' efforts to create or maintain individual and social image to others are conducted repeatedly and consistently [4]. Positive experiences from conspicuous consumption induce consumers to repeat the consumption. The findings extend this theory in conspicuous omni-signaling.
Fifth, this study identified that social need fulfilment positively affects conspicuous reconsumption intention. The existing literature showed that social needs fulfilment induces re-consumption intention [75][76][77][78]. The results validate the existing literature and extends it into conspicuous omni-signaling. Using Maslow's human motivation theory to analyze, consumption is motivated by discrepancy in needs satisfaction due to (fully or partially) unmet needs, hence unfulfilled social needs may induce re-consumption. The findings extend this theory in conspicuous omni-signaling.

Managerial Contribution
Several important insights and managerial implications arise from this study which may be beneficial for luxury fashion practitioners and luxury goods marketers in general. First, this study found that consumers do actively adopt omni-channels (offline and social media) hybridlike to conspicuously signal their luxury fashion consumption. Revisiting marketing strategy to align with and leverage this new phenomenon could be beneficial to stay closed and relevant with target consumers.
Second, the mean of LV1 (excellent quality and aesthetics) at 4.3 is higher than the personal and social measures (LV2-5). This indicates that while symbolic values or brand image is certainly the essence of luxury fashion; however, superior quality and aesthetic are fundamental defaults that consumers expect luxury fashion must not be compromised. Additionally, this also confirms that luxury fashion seems to be closely related to trend in mode or style. Therefore, nurturing a classic design to keep a timeless nature, be in the trend, innovating in the new trend, or setting the trend-are critical for luxury fashion to keep relevant to the target consumers.
Third, luxury values (such as excellent quality, superior aesthetic, pleasure, self-reward, prestige, self-esteem, and social status) motivate conspicuous omni-signaling. Therefore, building brand image of luxury fashion associated with superior quality, self-esteem, social status, and prestige are essential to keep relevant to target consumers. Hedonic, pleasure or self-reward (LV2) found to be a strong motivation for people to conspicuously signaling luxury fashions offline and online. Hence, luxury fashion marketers to build brand image to be worth and priceless for self-reward and pleasure.
Fourth, fashion consciousness positively affects conspicuous omni-signaling. The higher the fashion consciousness, the higher the motivation to engage in conspicuous omnisignaling. Hence, building fashion consciousness level of targeted consumers is highly beneficial to induce luxury fashion consumption, which may be done through education engagement offline and online in social media. The role of fashion influencers may be considered to both build brand awareness and image as well as to build fashion consciousness.
Fifth, positive experiences from luxury fashion omni-signaling induce re-consumption and contribute to fulfilment of social needs which in turn also induces re-consumption. Indeed, experiences have been always intrinsic to luxury goods, in which this intangible characteristic is fundamental to creating luxury values and to induce consumption. Therefore, creating engaging experiences for target consumers through conspicuous omnisignaling with the brand is fundamentally critical.

Limitation and Future Research Direction
While this study provides some new insights, there are limitations to this study. First, the focus of this study was conspicuous omni-signaling in relation to its antecedents and its consequences. However, what antecedents affect more on conspicuous offline signaling compared to conspicuous online signaling was not investigated in this study. Similarly, how conspicuous offline compared to online signaling affects social needs fulfilment and re-consumption was not examined. Subsequently, how conspicuous online signaling affects conspicuous offline signaling (or vice versa) was not investigated. Future research to explore this conspicuous offline compared to online signaling, and to explore how offline and online signaling interact is therefore suggested.
Motivation for consumers to engage in conspicuous consumption may include internal factors, external factors, and interaction between internal and external. This study focuses on investigating internal factors as the antecedents to conspicuous omni-signaling, including perception on luxury values and fashion consciousness. External stimuli were not investigated as antecedents to conspicuous omni-signaling in this study. Future research is suggested to include external factors (such as brand power, digital adoption) and interaction between internal and external factor (such as self-brand congruence) as antecedents of conspicuous omni-signaling in the research model.
Second, the online dimension of conspicuous omni-signaling in this study focuses on conspicuous signaling in social media, even though the scope of social media in this digital era is wider and extensive. The emerging phenomenon of virtual meetings using collaborative apps (such as MS-Teams and Zoom) was not investigated in this study. Future research is encouraged to extend conspicuous omni-signaling to include this virtue signaling dimension.
Third, the scope of luxury fashion in this study covers all three levels of luxury including inaccessible luxury, masstige (affordable luxury), and accessible luxury (mass market). The existing literature showed that these luxury classes have different characteristics, while consumer behaviors in each class of luxury fashion are also different. Hence, future research is suggested to evaluate the suitable research model for conspicuous omni-signaling in each luxury class (with masstige as the priority as an emerging phenomenon) and to examine the respective consumer behaviors.
Fourth, the sampling procedure of this study was carried out conveniently by leveraging social media contacts and networks of the authors and then gaining snowball effects which may risks of some representative sample. However, the potential bias was minimized as respondents were recruited from eight metropolitan cities across Indonesia with each city has more than 35 respondents. Geographically the cities are widely spread, i.e., 2000 km to west and 3350 to east from Jakarta where the authors live, resulting less possibilities of homogeneity of respondents related to profile of the authors. This is confirmed with profile of respondents in Table 2 reflecting heterogeny profiles of the respondents such as in ages, disposable income levels, and luxury fashion purchase behaviors.
