Dior

Dior’s Best Post is a carousel of images celebrating a stand out dress at Paris Fashion Week designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. The images include the original sketch of the dress and some work in progress shots. Behind the scenes content always performs well on social media and this post’s engagement far outweighs other posts by the brand.

H&M

Outfit-inspo posts always go down well in the high-street fashion retail sector and H&M nail the autumn vibes with this classic example. Top fashion brands always give customers plenty of ideas to freshen up their wardrobes at the start of a season.

Calvin Klein

A consistent brand aesthetic is a sure fire way to make an impact on social. ‘If it ain't’ broken, don’t fix it’ is certainly the case for the Calvin Klein black and white underwear ad campaign, still going strong decades later.
