Decisions, decisions: Instagram Stories just launched this week, and the fashion world is still scrambling to figure out how to incorporate it into their social media strategy. But it seems like they are already showing a preference: As AdAge reports, Instagram’s feature has a wider reach than Snapchat for many companies. “Nike, for example, generated 800,000 views in 24 hours for an Instagram Story that it posted on Tuesday, the first day the feature was available,” AdAge reports. “On Snapchat, Nike’s best video got 66,000 views, according to Nike and its social media agency Laundry Service.” Only time will tell which platform will reign supreme.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
