This newsletter wasn’t written to deter you from using social media for style inspiration and following fashion influencers, but to show that interacting with it mindfully could be beneficial. I have the utmost amount of respect for influencers; they are pioneers of a movement that has created astronomical economic value, and yet they deal with an extraordinary amount of judgement. Hating on influencers has become the modern-day witch hunt. In essence, influencers, a cohort of 15 million workers worldwide who benefit from zero labour protection, are simply people - mostly women - who run their media company (scripting, shooting, and editing visual content, sourcing and negotiating advertising deals, etc.). But our misogynistic society prefers to call women who dare to monetise their worth frivolous narcissists.
