Inside the Worlds of Hotshot Male Designers


Simon Porte Jacquemus

This week, the Instagram community welcomed designer Christopher Kane to the social network, adding to the list of young male designers with very personal accounts. While Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing has been an Insta pro for years, emerging designers like Simon Porte Jacquemus have made a mark by defining what it means to curate “the grid.” The platform serves as a window into their creative minds, and followers can discover, for example, Jonathan Anderson‘s love of Justin Bieber and Alexander Wang‘s preference for gold-wrapped blunts. These are the ten names to follow.
