From music and films to magazines and even ads, fashion inspiration has been all around us over the years. In modern times, this remains true; today, society has embraced influencers and digital media as a reputable medium for fashion insights and expressiveness - from the internet to global runways and our own neighborhoods.
Though internet platforms have also inevitably progressed over recent years, the general concept remains consistent - fashion bloggers and digital content creators today play a significant role in trendsetting within a gigantic industry.
Over the last couple of years, traditional fashion blogs have been often integrated alongside - and even replaced by - popular social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Though the format of this ever-relevant content may undergo constant changes and adapt to new contemporary trends, one thing is for sure: there is no lack of fashion inspiration on the internet!
Let’s dive into some of our favorite Asian American fashion bloggers and influencers that you will want to keep an eye out for.
