PAUSE Highlights: Our Favourite Fashion Commentators’ Accounts

Journalism has changed significantly over the last decade, especially within the fashion landscape. This transformation has come hand in hand with technology, from the decline of print issues to the ways in which current trends, news, and cultural conversations are communicated. Every corner of the industry has been reshaped, along with the doors it has opened for so many new voices.

What makes a good commentator? What makes us trust and rely on a digital persona? Is this new way of communicating fashion better? These are some of the questions that have emerged in recent years, as our feeds have become saturated with a new way of consuming news and staying aware of “trends.” With just one scroll, we can access information about a fashion collection, the latest campaign, or even a critique.

As the fashion community continues to grow, the need for new voices and formats has become key to keeping fashion journalism alive. While many commentators come from within the industry, it is their ability to push the narrative forward that truly makes them stand out: a critical point of view, a humorous approach to storytelling, or an ability to analyse beyond the aesthetics. It is safe to say that fashion journalism has never been in more diverse hands.

PAUSE gives its list of favourite commentators and fashion accounts that continue to shape the conversation, challenge the narrative, and redefine the way we engage with fashion today.

Also on our faves list, Hanan Besovic is one of the funniest and sassiest fashion commentators. Known for dissecting runway collections and the fashion industry news with a highly distinctive point of view, but of course with a huge sense of humour.
