Fashion Bloggers:Why is the World Fascinated with Them?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wilfrid Laurier chapter.

The day I downloaded Instagram, I found myself overwhelmed with the millions of pictures in front of me on my tiny screen, though the only pictures actually captivating my eye were the colourful fabrics and patterns celebrity fashion bloggers displayed on their accounts. Chiara Ferragni, PeaceLoveShea, and WeWoreWhat today remain my favourite Instagram accounts to follow, which yes I am still always frantically scrolling through.

So now back to my original question
why are we so fascinated with these “it girls”? The key answer: because of their persona they have portrayed to the world. These girls have successfully branded themselves with their style identities. After conducing research on each blogger, I have learned that changing little aspects of your wardrobe is the ultimate ingredient to personify yourself to reach success.

Each “it girl” emulates what society labels as ‘cool’ as their individual style gleams through each piece of wardrobe they drape on their bodies. Over the last five years, each blogger has been able to develop themselves as a brand by creating retail lines to designers fighting to have them sit front row of fashion week. The key each blogger has found is to appeal to their designated audience; Chiara appeals to the ‘rocker girls’, Danielle to the ‘New York glamour girls’, and Shea to the ‘California dreamers’.

It is incredibly fascinating that, with just a few tweaks to your wardrobe, you can identify yourself as a new person.  Over the next few weeks, I will be creating a style profile on each blogger and how you can change your closet to reflect their style, and how you can develop your own style identity.

You will typically see me with a large cup of tea and browsing social media under the fairy lights and reading up on my favourite lady bosses (Mindy Kaling let me be you please). Also my trivia regarding superheroes is endless. I have more music than time to listen to and someone definitely should consider taking away my blogging privileges. My love for pop culture is limitless and Netflix is the true MVP in my opinion. Contributor writer for HerCampus Laurier Stalk me and let's be friends here: Insta & Twitter: webofem
