Slightly Out of topic : Who do you prefer as fashion influencers traditional celebs or Social Media celebrities?

[Sa26]

I’d say definitely traditional celebrities ( singers actresses and top models).
social media celebrities are puting too much pressure on young girls to get high end stuff. They are making so many girls financially irresponsible they are influencing girls to spend money they might not have on a Gucci or Chanel bag.

traditional or old days celebrities also wear designer all time but girls with them understand they are kind of on a different dimension?

traditional celebs
the only time I look at "influencers" is when I'm searching for a review on cosmetics and I find something on youtube....and a lot of them are real amateurs. If the woman doesn't look good herself or her makeup is too heavy I don't really want her advice.

I prefer traditional celebs. There is something inherently very casual about the way celebs would wear luxury pieces of clothing and accessories while they are off working. They don't need to tag the brands that they are wearing.

On the other hand the styling can be well thought (by professsionals) out and put together while working (premieres, galas etc).

I don't really care either way, but if I'm looking at buying something it helps to see it styled on others: how it should be styled on those who can afford stylists and how it will probably look like when I style it. I know realistically if it looks a mess on a social media influencer, I'm not going to fare any better.

When I'm buying I look at reviews on Youtube. I don't make any decisions based on one influencer's opinion and I look at both bigger and smaller channels so I can rely that I'm seeing things that are true and not paid for.
If I'm just looking at pictures of bags f.e. I look at anyone who's carrying one, no matter if they're an incluencer, celeb, other public figure or a person on the street.

I am sure that I am the only one who feels this way, but I hate the term "influencer". I am not "influenced" because someone gets on You Tube and posts something. It always sounds like being a sheep. LOL. Just my humble opinion.

My attitude follows the old adage. “Never follow the crowd, be the center of one!”

I enjoy both.

When it comes to social media influencers and reality TV celebrities I may follow, generally speaking, I do prefer an older-than-me woman or vlogger (40+or 50+) over women who are my age (late 20s/early 30s-elder milennials) - even if concerns when it comes to say, skincare or makeup are not entirely the same.

I find a lot of the youngins' are wearing clothes I would not get away with at work.

There are a few traditional celebrities I follow on Instagram but they are pretty few and far between. I think Kate Bosworth and Nicole Richie are the only two celebrities I follow for any fashion inspiration.

I prefer looking through traditional fashion magazines just for general ideas of what I like -- with a preference for photos of adult women (not teen-agers) in a real-world setting. Although I do watch a lot of catwalk videos just for ideas. Social media influences me very little -- I have an IG account but seldom check it.

The biggest influence on me is seeing real women in the real world. That's how I chose my first LV bag. I looked at several online and in the stores but wasn't sure. Then one day a woman got on a train with an LV bag that looked so perfect to me that I immediately knew what my choice would be. In the store, I never even noticed it.

Totally agree with you. I dint look up to anyone. I create my own style.
