Fashion influencers do a lot more than merely post on Instagram (and somehow make a living off doing so). Whereas “influencers” used to be merely models, editors, buyers, and the like, the social media platform of Instagram has launched the careers of many aspiring bloggers and fashionistas that always had a passion for style and clothing and can now monetize off doing so.
