With the rise of the fashion bloggers and influencers over the last 10 to 15 years, our perception of fashion and current style trends are increasingly contingent on what we see online and on social media. Who we follow informs our perception of what we think is exciting or essential style-wise, so it’s key to keep our social media following varied. That’s why we at Rethink Beautiful have compiled a list (in no particular order) of some of the top fashion influencers to follow on Instagram for your daily dose of fun and aspirational fashion inspiration.
Grece Ghanem
Grece Ghanem is a Beirut-born, Montreal-based fashion influencer known for her signature silver bob and statement accessories, like Luis Via Roma’s chunky gold twist hoops. Named “the new icon of ageless style” by Vogue, this 55-year-old fashion aficionado is unafraid to stand out in a crowd. Ghanem’s message to her followers is to “Stay visible! Once women pass a certain age, they don’t get looked at anymore.” She noted in the same interview with Vogue magazine that she pays no mind to ageism in the fashion game and that she will “still wear things in a fun way,” because she doesn’t “have to disappear” as she gets older. Her confidence and fashion sense combined make her Instagram ideal for people looking for ways to style statement pieces and vibrant patterns into their everyday looks.

“Platform Museum”
The “Platform Museum” is a must-follow for vintage shoe lovers. Created by Audrey Vann to catalog her love of platforms in 2019, the account has since grown an ardent following to the tune of 24.1K fans. This account is ideal for anyone who likes 60s and 70s fashion, as many of the shoes are from that psychedelic era. Vann stated in an interview with Gem Search (a vintage shopping search engine), that she “love[s] platforms because they are the most insane kind of shoes…they represent glamour, confidence, and power.”
