In 2019 when we hear the word “influencer” the first thing that comes to our mind is a person with millions of followers on instagram and with a unique lifestyle, who through their work influence other people and determine the latest trends. If we want to talk about fashion influencers in 2019 we should start from Chiara Ferragni.
Chiara Ferragni is one of the most influential people in social media mostly in the fashion world. She started as a fashion blogger in 2009 and in 2011 she was named as the Blogger of The Moment in Teen Vogue. By 2013, Ferragni had won various blogger of the year recognitions. In 2013 she published her Italian language eBook and in 2014 she collaborated with Steve Madden to design a 9-shoe collection for Spring 2014. In 2014 her business ventures grossed about $8 million and they came mostly from her Chiara Ferragni Collection footwear.

In 2015, Chiara’s blog and shoe line, Chiara Ferragni Collection, became a case study at Harvard Business School as she had a huge influence to millions of people and her businesses have a big success in a very short time. Also in April 2015 she appeared on the cover of Vogue Spain and became the first fashion blogger to ever appear on any Vogue cover
In 2016 she had her own Barbie version from Mattel Inc., a version with many outfits. This fact shows the importance and the influence Chiara has for the fashion industry. In 2017, Ferragni had 10 million followers on Instagram and for this reason she earned $12,000 for a sponsored post to Instagram. Also in 2017, Chiara opened her first Chiara Ferragni Collection store in Milan and in 2018 Footwear News named Ferragni one of “the most influential moms in the fashion industry”
