@bfgf

I am an Instagram maniac and I openly confess that I spend too much time on filtering my feed. But it’s irresistible, when you have so many great accounts to follow! If you are ready for a dose of beautifully curated walls, inspiring photos and delightful shots – see my December recommendations!

@larryhofmann / A model, who walked for everybody, from Tom Ford to Dior, taking some truly subversive photographs for off-beat magazines during her free-time. But for Larissa Hofmann that’s not enough. She’s also an artist, who does spilled coffee drawings (literally). The effect? Spontaneous, far from perfect, yet intriguing study of human body. For committed Egon Schiele fans. Full series coming soon, so keep your eye on her Instagram feed.

@virgomood / All things reminiscent of a virgo’s mood. I’m a virgo, so naturally I’m in love with this account.

@bfgf / An art brand inspired with comfort, beauty and humour. Scarves, blankets and pillows, all covered with childish motifs, curvy silhouettes and stereotipically American symbols. With love from Los Angeles. Buy it all here.

#InstaLOVE – November

@frolburimskiy

@hannitarae / What I love about Hannah Rae’s Instagram feed? Her truly #NoFilter photographs from Peruvian mountain expeditions and Andean ceremonies. Those photos are filled with love, and it’s visible that she’s in love with Peru. The one above is my favourite.

@camillamengengstrom / Camilla’s illustrations and prints make my day. They will make your day, too.

@ontherocks_mag / An independent biannual magazine on the subject of jewellery. The editorial from issue 4, featuring Aida and Charlotte Wales’ photographs, is captivating. Glamour! Opulence! Feeling it.

@frolburimskiy / Burimskiy is Ulyana Sergeenko’s (the tsaritsa of Moscow’s fashion) business partner, but also her stylish right hand. Right now, both of them are in Los Angeles, taking photographs next to palms and Matthew McConaughey (casually). But on the daily basis, Frol shares inspirational images of Mother Russia in its full grace, past and present.

@inezandvinoodh / I love Inez & Vinoodh photographs; I love Lady Gaga’s Joanne, just like her style transformation. Obviously, the editorial from the latest Harper’s Bazaar is too good to be true, immersed dreamy spring-summer 2017 Marc Jacobs. Ahh.

#InstaLOVE – October 2016

@lemaire_official

@concept21store / A concept store located in the heart of Poznań, Poland, which sells such high-end brands like No21, Stella Jean or Ca & Lou. Great space and lovely atmosphere. From time to time I take photographs for them – like the one above!

@blueaida / One of the most beautiful models of today. Simultaneously, she’s truly anti-Instagram, if you contrast her with social media “raised” models. Aida Becheanu follows only one person (her boyfriend), and doesn’t tag her photos. She doesn’t really care about her internet appearance. Instead, you will fall in love with her very intimate, moody images. Simply saying, a gem.

@thurstanredding / Instagram, during fashion week, is a very tough place – every person feels like posting 10 photos in a row of the same Prada knit. But Thurstan Redding is different – his backstage photographs are like artworks. Take the one above, featuring Miu Miu’s wedges in a plastic bag.

@lemaire_official / Oh, how I love Lemaire.

@luncheonmagazine / A magazine, which is an evidence that both fashion and art form a beautiful, artistic symbiosis. Seeing Guinevere Van Seenus sipping beer (photographed by Roe Ethridge and styled by Marie Chaix) is priceless. Follow Luncheon, if you’re this type of person who loves food, and fashion at the same time…

#InstaLOVE – September 2016

@pierrot

@anthonyvaccarello / Anthony Vaccarello’s debut collection for Saint Laurent is highly anticipated, and here’s the first hint of what it might be like. A pink feather pinned with a SL tag. Are we about to see tons of chic, feather boas? Paris Fashion Week will tell.

@cryingdoves691 / A lot of Galliano for Dior, rare McQueen and cult Prada. And all kept in a moody, pastel-pink filter.

@florence / I love Florence Welch’ music as much as her style. Seeing her flea market finds and the way she wears them with Gucci clogs – pure pleasure. Also, just look at those denim flares above.

@bethhoeckel / Beth is a collage artist. Her work is intriguing, experimental, surreal – no wonder why Miu Miu chose to collaborate with her this season. Hoeckel’s reality subverting artworks perfectly fit the brands’ identity.

@pierrot / Yep, it’s September. I KNOW we should stop thinking of summer and start focusing on sweaters and puffas, but… Jean Pierrot’s photos of sun-kissed women in Cuba, Los Angeles or Croatia will bring so much sun to your feed!

#InstaLOVE – August 2016

@agnesvita

@ninetiesmoments / A well-curated feed featuring some of the most inspiring and cult editorials photographed between 1990 and 2000. From a rare shot of Angela Lindvall in British Vogue to Paolo Roversi’s iconic Vogue Italia spread starring Stella Tennant, this account is a must-follow for anyone, who’s obsessed with fashion’s 90s archives.

@buttonfuit / Gill Button is one of the leading artists, who became widely-acclaimed through Instagram. She creates dreamy, smokey-eyed characters in her portraits, full of feelings and emotions. Whether using paint or watercolours, Button enjoys implementing fashion to her work, inspired by Simone Rocha’s or Prada’s runways. Her definite break-through moment? Contributing to Dries Van Noten’s AW16 show invitations (with illustrations like the above, creating around 1200, one-of-a-kind pieces), and directing the designer’s autumn-winter window displays for his flagship boutique. Expect a truly beautiful feed.

@pacorabanne / Social media is significant for a fashion brand – and the appearance is even more important. Paco Rabanne’s management knows that, and that’s why their Instagram is so appealing. Filled with Coco Capitán’s moody, backstage snaps of models (Heather Kemesky pictured above), Rabanne’s feed precisely reflects Julien Dossena’s contemporary aesthetic.

@adwoaaboah / Badass model and founder of Gurls Talk. Represented by The Lions and Tess Management, Adwoa defines the IT-girl in 2016. She’s a bold personality, who’s aware of global matters, and women’s empowerment. Also, Aboah is the latest cover girl of i-D ‘Female Gaze’ issue, photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. No chance that you’re NOT following her.

@agnesvita / Her latest editorial for W Mag is an energy splash. No wonder why – Agnes Lloyd-Platt “focuses on colour and positivity on every spectrum“, as she tends to say, looking forward to diversity in her work. The London-based photographer had her first, big spotlight in fashion world… so just wait to see her signature photography around every corner soon.
