Elin Kling
Based in New York but hailing from Sweden, Elin Kling is one of the most influential bloggers of our time. She’s one of the first ever online fashionistas to collaborate with a commercial brand on a collection, and in 2011 H&M released a line she helped design.
She’s since gone on to create her own standalone label, Toteme, which has seen her grow from blogger to designer, yet she continues to update her site with musings, photos and snippets of stories that keep every fashion-conscious reader riveted.
Bryan Grey Yambao
Born and bred in the Philippines but now a bona-fide New Yorker, Yambao’s blog started as an online diary about where to find the hottest looks and shops such as www.cuba-clothing.com/, and it has become a reliable resource for anyone looking for inside information on fashion.
Yambao has used his considerable influence in the fashion world to land himself a hosting spot on America’s Next Top Model and has launched a controversial collection with furrier Adrienne Landau. Whilst other bloggers from this era fell off the map, it was his ability to remain relevant and branch out that made him all the more successful and his opinions sought after.
