Vol. 3 Iss. 3
#online
In the last couple of decades, the digital age has ushered in the creation of thousands of social media platforms, all with the same intention—to keep us connected. In this issue, we explore the communities that exist in various online spaces and their fashion culture. Part One, #instafamous, focuses on instagrammers. We take a look behind the camera and discover the world behind the filtered fantasy. Part Two, titled #streamer, features those who aren’t afraid to vlog every aspect of their lives. And Part Three, #ekidz, is all about the new kid on the block: TikTok!
