In fashion days gone by, it was just the Hollywood elite we would turn to for style and beauty inspo. Fast forward to 2016, and the digi-savvy street style set - from Susie Lau to Chiara Ferragni – have taken over in the wardrobe envy department, after carving successful careers in the blogosphere.
Whether posting an artfully curated #OOTD posts on Instagram or a longer ‘How To Wear’ feature on their website, devotee followers continue to be inspired by fashion bloggers’ unique sartorial sense and mix of high-low fashion brands.
So with the new year fast approaching, Grazia presents the definitive fashionista forecast, with our pick of the next gen influencers who are set to have a huge year…
The Collyer Twins

Insta-power... @collyertwins / 27k followers
**The lowdown...**It’s no secret that the ‘twin thing’ is having a moment in the fashion world RN – so it seems fitting our latest Insta-obsession comes in the form of identical twin sisters Jordan and Loanne (who both share a penchant for power suits, & Other Stories and oversized white tees). The London-based duo grew up in Portugal, and when they’re not blogging are either DJing or presenting. Their advice for aspiring bloggers? ‘Always stay true to who you are and what you like,’ to pair reveal, speaking to Grazia. ‘Authenticity is key if you want to go far. Don't wear or write about a brand you don't really like just because they are paying you.’

Evita Nuh

Insta-power... @nuhevita / 65k followers
The low-down... This Gen Z star - if not already - is about to take over your feed. At just 17-years-old this Indonesian style blogger has been dubbed the next Tavi Gevinson. And we can see why - from her thoughtful commentary on everything from friendship to social media to her playful outfit choices (think bright 1950s dresses and tomboy co-ords). But the Insta-famous star has gained a following thanks to her own unique voice. ‘By the time I was six, I was already dressing myself and making shopping decisions,’ she's revealed in a previous interview. ‘I started my blog with full preparation and research. I took notes on everything.’
