Expert Prediction: These 8 Instagram Brands Will Blow Up In 2020

It's one thing to sit at a runway show and see how a collection looks in a perfectly arranged, cursted setting. It's another to see it styled for real occasions and worn by non-models on social media. Shopping experts, be them style directors or buyers, are always looking to Instagram for new fashion brands to put on their radar. Perhaps those who don't show on the standard fashion calendar or have gained an online following for their niche perspective. For 2020, there are a number of notable fashion brands that key players in the industry are watching (and also purchasing), with the thought that they're poised to be the next big thing.

Some are more established — New York's Peter Do was just nominated for the LVMH prize — while others are still in stealth mode, quietly gaining steam.
