New Order

Cleanse your Instagram feed with these feel accounts that will make you feel smarter, sharper and more in control.

Glossies were the last word in fashion until 2010. Magazines dictated all that is cool and not since the very birth of modern fashion as we know it. Editors were few and far in between and the industry in general steered clear of commercializing their work. When a Vogue or Bazaar put a designer, model or a celebrity under the spotlight it changed the game for them. Being endorsed by magazines meant something until this decade when social media upended the hierarchies that existed. Combined with the rising use of consumption of content over mobile, social apps, especially Instagram gained prominence. From an app that was created to share Kodak moments, it evolved to a repository of information and content. Ahead, we spotlight accounts to follow for more than just keeping tabs on someone’s social life.
