Follow Instagram Stories and Utilize the Pinch-To-Zoom Function!
Following the steps of Snapchat, Instagram recently launched their own Instagram Stories. Make sure you tap in and view within 24 hours so that you don’t miss out on any behind-the-scenes magic or celebrity appearances. Another highly anticipated feature finally launched in Instagram! The new pinch-to-zoom update allows users to get a more detailed look on images and videos in their main feed, profile pages, and in their explore tab.

Spare the #hashtags
With the decrease in use of multiple hashtags per post, it’s important to choose your hashtags strategically. Although having multiple hashtags can increase the exposure of your post, ultimately you want to select relevant and brand official hashtags so that you’re targeting the right group of viewers.
“To quote a joke I heard: the amount of hashtags in an Insta equals the amount of medication the poster should be on.”

Tap-tag your outfits
To really show off your amazing and thought out fashion week style, make sure you tap the image to tag proper designer’s social channels instead of using hashtags or mentions in the description area. A benefit that tap-tagging can bring is that it can potentially show up as a photo of the brand on their Instagram page.
