Mainly, this calls for better celebrity endorser strategies with targeted markets. The goal of the study was to focus on investigating celebrity endorsement on the purchase intention of the buyer in the clothing/fashion sector. The present study used the Statistical Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyse the data. The outcome of this study provided evidence that celebrity appearance in advertising in Ghana’s clothing sector is admired by buyers because of the use of celebrity, which influences the public. Also, celebrities are recognised by the love, fashion style, lifestyle similarity and knowledge about the celebrity; hence, they are respected and relied upon by most of the customers and social groups. It concluded that a relationship existed between celebrity endorsement and consumers purchase intention.
