Slightly Off topic :
The reason I followed UK fashion influencers is that I have always loved the "London look" - from street style to hip British designers - edgy, urban, cutting edge and diverse fashion. Mixing high and low, anything goes.
But all we get are "influencers" copying each other or literally all of them being sponsored by the same clothing companies or sent PR of the same items of clothing.
Only doing sponsored fashion vlogs. Every vlog has to be sponsored.
From Josie, Lydia, Emily, Emma, Suzie, Model Mouth, Sammi, Elle all shopping at the same places - H & M, Zara, PLT, Karen Millen etc to Frow, Amelia & Tamara (love her) who only sport designer gear not accessible by 90% of their audience. Freddy who is living on Planet Pink in her childish, drum majorettes fashion to Lilly, Lorna and Anna with no fashion sense.
Am I being too harsh ?
All of these ladies are younger than 35 years old !!! But most are dressing either too old or too young for their ages. Where are the fun, edgy influencers who are influenced by actual fashion and not their pockets ? Influencer style is now dictated only by what sponsors want them to showcase.
So I came across this channel on Youtube called "The Unknown Vlogs" - the guy goes around different areas of London showcasing what normal Londoners are wearing and my word, these influencers could learn a thing or two. Some fashion may be too young for me but I love looking at what people put together ! Now that's where the London look is, not with these money hungry influencers.
