With over 300 million active monthly users and billions of daily photo uploads, there's no denying the power of Instagram. It has not only turned into a place for visual storytelling but Instagram could very well be our ticket to different locations, VIP pass to the best parties, and easy access to various hubs and information. However, it all comes down to one factor: following the right crowd. So The Week is here to hook you up with some accounts that are definitely worth following.
For fashionistas
CFDA @cfda
For those who may not know, The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. (CFDA) is a not-for-profit trade association whose membership consists of more than 400 of America’s foremost women’s wear, menswear, jewelry, and accessory designers. So who better to give you a glimpse into the fashion industry than a virtual hub of designers? The CFDA’s feed offers a look at beautiful clothes, the latest editorials, and plenty of inside looks from countless household names in the fashion world.
Scott Schuman @thesartorialist
Scott Schuman has always had an edge over his fellow street-style bloggers. With over seven million followers, he could be hailed an Instagram kingpin. Now even though you follow the man and his work on other social networking sites, it is also worth getting on Instagram because unlike most of the bloggers out there, he rarely recycles content from his blog for his The Sartorialist feed. You’ll find candid, airbrush-free shots of stylish folks along with intriguing travel pictures and terrific shots taken backstage at fashion weeks around the world.

For art enthusiasts
Christie’s @christiesinc
It is definitely tricky keeping tabs of the ever evolving vast world of arts. So it pays to be know exactly who has their finger on the pulse of the scene. As far as institutions go, Christie’s, being the world’s largest auction house, ranks very high. Want some break-the-bank artspiration? No problem. They specialize in the sale of some of the world’s most important and rare works of fine art which is exactly what makes its Instagram account so great and alluring.
Jerry Saltz @jerrysaltz
Like your art with a pinch of cynicism? The outspoken senior art critic for New York magazine, Jerry Saltz, snaps some of the world’s most diverse artworks with witty and irreverent commentary that will have you in stitches. Love him or hate him, his Instagram is a celebration of anything and everything art-related.
For sheer amusement
Zach King @zachking, @finalcutking
You might already be following the internet sensation Zach King on Instagram, Vine, Snapchat, or YouTube, but if you’re not, better late than never. It is very easy to see exactly why millions of people follow him. The filmmaker creates crazy-cool, mind blowing videos that almost always take a second to register — a soccer ball that turns into a dog, what?! It has to be seen to be believed.
Lhakila @lhakyila
When we think about our own Nepali entertainers in the insta realm, Lhakila instantly pops up in our mind. The last we checked she had more than 43,000 followers and that right there should give you a good idea of her vine/video making talent. She sings, acts, dances and in each instance her comedic chops are impeccable. Look out for those accent impersonations in particular.
For fitness freaks
Nicole Winhoffer @nicolewinhoffer
Not only a modern dancer and trainer, she’s the woman in charge of keeping Madonna in tip-top form. If you’re a dance fan or want to score a better booty, look no further: Winhoffer’s high-energy dance clips and body-sculpting moves have you covered. It is just the sort of guidance and motivation that will make sure you are not slacking on your fitness plan. Her acrobatic poses come highly recommended.
Adam Rosante @adamrosante
Eat Clean, Train Dirty and Live Hard, that’s Rosante’s philosophy. If you are one who isn’t only about sweating it at the gym but actually living a healthy and fulfilling life, then he is the man for you. Rosante is the People’s Bootcamp founder and author of ‘The 30-Second Body’ and he’s all about balance. So in this account, you’ll find a mixture of high-intensity workout moves and indulgent but healthy foods.
