What influencer paywalls mean for fashion brands
Influencers have started to generate a new stream of income with the introduction of “paywalls,” which allow them to charge fans for exclusive content, such as being added to “Close Friends” Instagram Stories or FaceTime calls. Conor Begley, president of Tribe Dynamics, an influencer marketing platform, told Vogue Business: “As influencers get larger, they can monetize in a variety of ways that don’t involve brand partnerships… But brand partnerships will continue to be a part of the equation because these brands can have a positive impact on an influencer’s credibility and audience.” {Vogue Business}

Two FIT administrators put on leave following “clearly racist” fashion show
New York’s noted Fashion Institute of Technology found itself in hot water after a fashion show featuring “clearly racist” imagery resulted in the suspension of two administrators. Junkai Huang, the student behind the collection, has denied any accusations of racism, and told The New York Times: “I have only lived in the United States briefly. My understanding of American cultural references is still developing. In the future, I’ll be more aware about political correctness, cultural differences and history.” {The New York Times}
