With fashion month coming to a close, we’ve seen a new breed of show attendees and invites: the TikToker, specifically the fashion TikToker.
Gone are the days when YouTubers dominated online trends with their half-hour Zara hauls and “get ready with me” vlogs. Whilst the influencers we used to love still hold acclaim and interest, they are slowly being replaced by a newer group of individuals with fresh ideas and new content.
This new gaggle of fashion lovers has filled the once ‘cringeworthy’ app with front row challenges, thrift hauls, small business reviews and monologues on the latest trends. Whilst some may criticise their influence on over-consumption and the ever changing fashion cycle, their videos are educational, aesthetic and essential for any fashion lover.
We’ve rounded up a list of 10 of the best fashion TikTokers you need (emphasis on need) to follow to stay in the loop, inspired and informed.
