A new breed of content creators is gaining traction and considerable credibility online. We call this the rise of the Social-First Correspondents. With highly engaged audiences, and a fresh, socially attuned take on high fashion that doesn’t always bend to the whims of the industry, profiles such as @ly.as, @oldloserinbrooklyn and @ideservecouture have become ones to watch when it comes to providing incisive and entertaining FROW content. Across the SS25 season, creators in this category accrued an impressive $10.4 million in Earned Media Value (EMV), as per Lefty data. Why do these profiles resonate so much now and how can brands navigate these emerging voices? We sat down with Lyas, a front-runner of this new wave of radical honesty, to map out this industry shift and uncover what exactly brands can learn from it. Read all in our newsletter

Fashion Month continues to boom on social media, with the spring/summer 2025 season growing +16% year on year to hit record highs of $840 million in Earned Media Value (EMV), according to Lefty data. This season, new voices solidified an industry-wide shift that has been bubbling up for a few years, where honesty and authenticity are taking centre stage, and fashion is adopting a more inclusive, democratic approach at brand level. We interviewed fashion commentator @ly.as – Interview Magazine’s latest correspondent – to shed light on this new wave. But that doesn’t mean the realm of influence and celebrity aren’t continuing to make noise, with some stars’ highly-engaged fandoms continuing to drive significant media value around their idols’ names. Storytelling was also key, both in show format and in the talents brands collaborated with – ranging from athletes who captivated audiences during the Olympics to the cultural protagonists leading today’s zeitgeist.
