8 Canadians to Follow on Instagram for Street Style Inspiration

In fashion today, we continue to see less of a focus on avant-garde garments and a larger focus on streetwear and street style. Fashion is drawing inspiration from all over the world, and high-end fashion houses have been making adjustments as their audience has changed over the years. 

The line between streetwear brands and high-end designers are being blurred thanks to the creative directors at these fashion houses that grew up in the streetwear era. Kim Jones of Louis Vuitton, Errolson Hugh of ACRONYM, and Demna Gvasalia of Vetements & Balenciaga are examples of individuals that have paved the way for what we see in fashion today.

There are a select group of individuals that were able to take this evolution in fashion and seamlessly incorporate it into their everyday style. Here are some of the top Canadians on Instagram today that you can follow for street style inspiration:
