Nowadays, college students come to class fascinated with their favorite fashion icons from social media platforms.
More specifically, when Lynn University students come to class, they often talk about the latest trends, viral videos, social media icons and more. Fashion students at Lynn, in particular, often talk about who inspires them the most from the Internet. They also ask one another who their fashion icons are.
“My fashion inspiration is Stella McCartney because I recently started reading about her and her work, and she’s one of the first designers to incorporate sustainability into her high fashion line,” said senior Romanshika Singh.
The Internet and social media have taken over students’ lives both positively and negatively. Social media is filled with individuals who speak out about their beliefs and anything that interests them.
Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and others are used to represent people’s inspirations and whom they look up to most. Those who visit social media platforms every day typically aim to catch up on what their favorite icons have been up to since last checking online.
“Over the years, I have always been drawn to fashion representing more than just the designer or the model,” said Ava Mancini, a senior. “Blake Lively has always wowed red carpets with her innovative yet classic styles.”
According to The Teen Magazine, Marilyn Monroe, Julia Fox, Audrey Hepburn, Monica Bellucci, Kate Moss, Grace Kelly and Jane Birkin are the best fashion icons of 2023.
According to GQ, Chris Pine, Thomas Doherty, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Brett Gelman, Elliot Page, Florence Pugh, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield are the most stylish people on the planet.
“To be considered a fashion icon in today’s high stakes world of beauty and glamour, your style must either create cultural conversation, have trend-worthy appeal or most commonly, outlive you,” said Associate Professor Dr. Andrew Burnstine, a fashion admirer and expert known at Lynn University as Dr. Fashion.
