Instagram is not having a good month. Just a
couple of weeks ago social media sensation
Essena O’Neill made a splash as she admitted
what she and many fellow bloggers put on the
photo-sharing app was ‘fake’, vacuous guff all in
the name of accruing as many followers as
possible, and now Grace Coddington, one of the
biggest names in the fashion industry, has
admitted she thinks it’s “pathetic”.
Speaking to American Vogue , the publication she
has worked at for almost 30 years, the 74-year-old
said: “I hate Instagram, actually. I think it really
interferes with people’s lives and things and it’s
pathetic how everyone’s photographing everything
they’re eating all the time. Everybody uses it
instead of reading the newspapers these days.
People want you to know that they’re holidaying in
Greece. I mean, really.”
The editor has a back-story with Instagram; her
first ever post saw her entire account suspended
because it breached the app’s ‘no nipple’ policy.
And no, she didn’t post a nude self portrait, it was
actually an illustration of her sitting on a deck
chair sans clothing
