Fashion blogs and Instagram

In the fashion industry and in general among people who are passionate about fashion, it is customary to praise Instagrambut the reality is not so good and beautiful. Instagram gave every girl the opportunity to share her images, travel impressions and, in general, everything remarkable.

The simplicity of Instagram quickly formed a whole army of fans of the social network, and gradually fashion bloggers running their magazines and websites moved to the new platform. Many have abandoned blogs altogether, some have even forgotten to pay for a domain, or have deliberately deleted their old blog.

I don’t know how they decided to quit the results of many years of work, but the reality is that now there are almost no active fashion blogs. There are very few bloggers left who continue to regularly write publications and post new photos.

This phenomenon cannot be called development. Fashion blogs on their own domain and even in LJ or blogspot seriously develop the author, because the content of such projects requires a lot of effort and constantly learning something. For a blog, you need to regularly write texts, do photo shoots, shoot videos. And in the blog, full-fledged communication is possible in the comments.

Instagram strongly limits us in everything - texts are minimal, photos are small and of low quality, comments are often short and primitive in content. Therefore, the migration of fashion bloggers to Instagram cannot be called development, and this is sad.

Of course, fashion blogs will not completely disappear, the most persistent authors will certainly remain, but there will be very few of them.
