This paper aims to investigate and examine the role of fashion attractiveness in mediating the relationship between product innovation (uniqueness and novelty) and marketing performance. A total of 229 small businesses in Indonesia were selected to be tested for regressional relationships of the four constructs. This study finds a positive influence of product novelty and uniqueness on fashion attractiveness, yet it does not affect marketing performance. Mediation analysis shows that fashion attractiveness plays an important role in bridging the relationship of product novelty and product uniqueness on marketing performance. Through an in-depth examination of a variety of literature about dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial marketing, and company performance, this paper offers a unique analysis of the correlation of product novelty and product uniqueness on fashion attractiveness as well as its impact on marketing performance in the small-scale fashion industry. Conceptual discussion and empirical result of the study extend previous researches on the culture of product innovation in small businesses.
