1. ASANDA SIZANI: @ASANDASIZANI

The former Fashion Editor of a major local fashion mag, Asanda Sizani has a great eye and really champions local designers. Her outfits are inspired and eclectic - she can make a traditional African dress look like it's come straight off an international catwalk.

 

 

 

2. PERNILLE LEISBAEK: @LOOKDEPERNEILLE

Seasoned fashion editor turned stylist and blogger, Pernille Leisbaek's minimalistic style reflects her Scandi roots. This Dane's outfits are always effortlessly chic. Pulling together monochromatic looks and styling denim perfectly are some of her many strengths.

4. BLAIR EADIE: @BLAIREADIEBEE

New York blogger Blair Eadie's style is very ladylike and pretty, but her Instagram posts show she has a playful side too. She'll inspire you to wear dresses and skirts with oh-so-feminine fifties silhouettes, but also show you how to make the most of wardrobe staples like denims and a trench. From her polished appearance, it's clear each of her outfits has been carefully curated - and her accessories are to die for!

5. EVA CHEN: @EVACHEN212

We simply couldn't leave Eva Chen, Instagram’s own head of fashion partnerships, off the list. This social media savvy New Yorker has coined her own original hashtag - #evachenpose - to tag shots where she shows off her shoe-and-handbag combos in a signature feet-up pose. Along with accessories inspiration, this former magazine beauty editor also dishes up beauty advice.

6. LEANDRA MEDINE: @MANREPELLER

"A Man Repeller is someone who outfits herself in a sartorially offensive mode that may result in repelling members of the opposite sex,” says Leandra Medine. This witty blogger loves to show off her unusual and adventurous style on Instagram. If her wardrobe, travels and New York City life don’t make you envious then check her out just for the giggles.

7. AMY SCHEEPERS: @AMY_SCHEEPERS

It’s fitting that blogger Amy Scheepers also works as a fashion photographer because she’s got a brilliant sense of style. Prints feature heavily in this Capetonian’s boho chic wardrobe, which is filled with pieces with interesting shapes, textures and trims (think embroidery and fringing). Following her will inspire you to scour the shops for unique buys – and to start your own collection of statement shades. 

 

 

 

8. ALEXA CHUNG: @CHUNGALEXA

Alexa Chung’s famous for more than just having famous friends (Think model Cara Delevingne and Fifty Shades actress Dakota Johnson). This model and presenter has fast become a fashion icon and, fortunately for us, her look’s very down-to-earth making it easy to emulate. She also has a very good sense of humour, so you expect some laughs if you opt to follow this style-maven.
