“A life built absolutely on getting ‘likes’ can be of no good.”

With the advent of digitalization, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter offered a freeway for the public to express their thoughts and feelings about things they encounter in life. Gradually, the youth became handy to these social media platforms and widened the culture of keeping up with the latest fashion trends, memes, challenges, and whatnot. Some of these challenges of the fashion industry in India are fun; recreating a celebrity look while others can be extremely meaningless. There won’t be any wrong in saying that peer pressure and memes have allowed such social challenges to disseminating quickly through social media channels. Now and then, I see famous social media influencers like “Lilly Singh” or numerous fashion stylists in India coming upfront on Instagram announcing that they’re taking a “social media detox.” The fashion industry in India or across the world is continuously evolving, and this constant rush of keeping up with the new content or the idea of creating new content can be extremely toxic on social media. Not everyone is willing to take time off of social media, but as one falls into too many late-night Instagram whirlwind or stresses about lack of likes, more and more people are starting to understand the concept of social media detox. In this blog, I Knock Fashion looks forward to giving you a brief about how social media is turning toxic for the fashion people as well as the rest of the world.

Why Are Fashion Influencers “Rolling” Into Depression And Anxiety?

Why Are Fashion Influencers “Rolling” Into Depression And Anxiety?

The advent of the digital world led to numerous opportunities for the world, no matter where on the globe you are, you can influence people from all across the universe. Like the coin has its two sides in the same way every innovation and technology does, although digitization has created several employment opportunities in the country, for the fashion industry in India it has severely increased the competition. Influencers today are reviewing and photographing each item with winning simplicity. It’s not just about giving reviews on a product, but they also have the pressure of pursuing it in a way that their photo style is imitated and virals all over the digital world. There’s this constant thirst for getting the most likes and followers on their social media accounts. There’s a thin line between staying fit and starving yourself for that hourglass body, and in this blind hunger of completing many Instagram #challenge fashion and beauty influencers end up taking numerous pills which later cause them depression and anxiety.
