Discover how to develop your Instagram strategy, with practical tips from fashion brand consultant André Boffano

Instagram is now a great store front for brands of all kinds, especially in the field of fashion and accessories. It stands out from the (very large) social crowd because it allows you to present a catalogue combining amazing photos that clinch sales with the lifestyle people look for on social.

Instagram is also an amazing e-commerce tool that helps you market your products, values and mission in an integrated way to promote sales both through and off the app.

Use Insights

Insights is a free Instagram tool that allows you to monitor strategic information like your audience’s gender, age-range, location and peak viewing hours.

Understanding these aspects will allow you to successfully shape your sales and marketing strategy.

Reveal your essence

Make the essence of your brand clear in your posts by developing a unique and unmistakable language, tone of voice and lifestyle. Fashion isn’t just clothing, it’s also about values, mission, creative process, artistic references and the production chain.

All this can (and must) be used in your marketing. The clearer you are about your motivations and the elements that define your brand, the better.

Fashion isn’t just clothing, it’s also about your values, mission, creative process and artistic references.

Embrace diversity

Diversity and a focus on humanizing your products are essential, even in a virtual environment.

How the Visual Identities of 5 Iconic Brands Came to Be: Coca-Cola, Nike, Starbucks, LEGO, and IBM (and What Designers Can Learn)

From Coca-Cola’s lettering to the minimalism of Nike’s Swoosh: discover how five brands built recognizable visual universes and what lessons you can apply to your own branding projects A visual identity is much more than just a logo. Although the symbol or name may be the first thing that comes to mind when we think of a brand, true recognition stems from the coherent combination of many visual elements that work together over time. Colors, typefaces, shapes, illustrations, packaging, photography, graphic style, and even the way a brand adapts to new formats are all part of the same system. Brands that endure for decades do so not merely because they have an attractive logo. Their strength lies in the consistency with which they apply their identity at every touchpoint with the public. From an advertisement to a mobile app, from packaging to a physical store, each element helps reinforce a recognizable image. Analyzing the evolution of some of the world’s best-known visual identities helps us understand that good design rarely stems from a single brilliant decision. It is the result of a sustained strategy over time, capable of evolving without losing what makes a brand unique. In this article, we review five particularly relevant cases —Coca-Cola, Nike, Starbucks, LEGO, and IBM— to discover how they built memorable visual universes and what lessons can be applied to any branding project, regardless of its size.

Photography

Experiment with altered photography: paint, cut out, and reimagine your images

A photograph can also be a starting point When we take a photograph, we tend to think that the process ends when we press the shutter button or, at most, after a little digital editing. However, an image can also be the beginning of a new creation. All it takes is printing it out and viewing it as a blank canvas to discover that it still has much to say. Altered photography invites us to change that perspective. Painting over an image, cutting it out, embroidering it, or combining it with other materials allows us to break away from the idea of photography as an untouchable object and turn it into a space for experimentation. Every stroke adds a new layer of meaning and transforms an everyday scene into a unique work of art. You don’t need to be a professional photographer or a master painter to get started. Often, the simplest interventions produce the most surprising results. In this article, you’ll discover what altered photography is, what materials you’ll need, and what techniques you can try to develop your own visual language.
