Trendy kids on Instagram

We talked yesterday about the hottest men on Instagram, today we present to you the coolest kids on Instagram. For example, the identical twins Michael and Daniel from London. The brothers are not yet three years old and have around 60,000 followers on Instagram thanks to their stylish outfits. Identical clothing, identical poses, cute little faces, it's a worldwide hit. And then there's six-year-old Alonso Mateo who is dragged around by stylist mom Louisa from one place to another and from fashion show to the terrace of L’Avenue in equally slick outfits. Posing with Anna Wintour, oh he doesn't shy away from it.

Well, just leave it to me to have something to complain about everywhere, but I don't really know what to think of this phenomenon. Somewhere the whole idea of exploiting your children in any way just rubs me the wrong way. You’re not going to tell me that Michael and Daniel decided at the age of 2.5, “so now we’re going to dress exactly the same and pose the same and then we’ll post those photos on Instagram and then we’ll become super mega successful because everyone thinks that’s cute.” That came from mom’s mind and that mom is now happily rolling from interview to interview and receiving loads of free stuff. All fine, but I don’t really find it very classy.

Alonso seems to choose his own clothes (source: his mother) and Michael and Daniel also love to spend hours picking their own outfits (source: their mother). In the meantime, there are many more fashion kids and the phenomenon itself has become quite a thing. The coolest kids are collected on the account Fashionkids which now has over 2.5 MILLION followers. So, for everyone with rattling ovaries, make the most of it, and who knows, you might have a toddler or baby around on whom you can unleash your styling aspirations. Good luck!
