Creators to the MAX: Maximalist creators to inspire your style

After the decline of the pandemic, style was formed into something that everyone could enjoy. It is a mix of many different styles and generations all in one. A popular influencer by the name of Wisdom Kaye, said in a recent Tik Tok, “trends have become accelerated to the point where they all exist in the same time”. Thus making the maximalism concept become more popular, and more people being able to express their fashion freely, without using trends as a guideline. These are some influencers you could follow to help find your maximalist style.

Wisdom Kaye (@wisdm)

Wisdom Kaye is an instagram influencer, tik toker, and now model for IMG Modeling Agency. His journey started in 2020 with his Tik Tok platform, focusing his content on men’s fashion and elevating his own style. His social media platforms have grown tremendously and now in 2022, he focuses more on “looks”, and showing off new, detailed, designer pieces in his closet along, with how to style them. Including working with brands like Coach, Dior, and American Eagle. His style, starting off early in his career with being more tame and wearable looks, has gone a more maximalist direction since the everevolving trends and fashion influence on tik tok during the pandemic.

His style is heavily inspired by Rick Owen’s, designer statement pieces, streetwear, and mainly black or darker coloured garments.

Lexson Miller (@lexsonator)

Based in Toronto, Lexson Miller is a Canadian social media influencer, who thrives on his version of maximalist fashion. His style is heavily inspired by the 70’s and 80’s time period, along with bright colours and layered pieces. His content is focused on GRWM’s (get ready with me) through his Tik Tok platform, and his thrifting challenges, which include finding outfits in thrift stores in a set amounts of time, usually at Toronto thrift locations. It is apparent that Lexson is very big on second hand shopping, and believes in giving old pieces a new life.

He has even created a second account (@_lbros) with his roommate Liam (@liamgotmail), who is featured in his thrifting videos often, to continue showing off their style expression, and show off their finds and the potential of thrift stores in Toronto.

Amy Roiland (@afashionnerd)

Fashion blogger Amy Roiland, who is known for her blog “A Fashion Nerd” which was started back in 2013, and more recently, her Tik Tok account which is focused more on GRWM’s and styling videos, which all tie back to her fashion blog. She is a mother of a little girl, who follows the same style as she does and is featured in quite a few photos and videos on her social media platforms.

Her style is centered around vintage styled articles from the 50’s and 60’s. The fun patterns and bright colours which are paired with big accessories, conveying her LA location and outgoing personality.

Michaela Hedderman (@mjhedderman)

A firm believer of “wearing whatever you want”, Michaela Hedderman is another social media star who expresses herself through her funky fashion and self confidence. Her rise to fame was her viral videos of solo self timer instgram photos. Getting dressed up in whatever she wanted, finding a location in her hometown, and taking pictures by herself with her tripod and self timer feature.

Her style follows more colourful, trendy, statement pieces, and portrays a very LA personality to go along with those outfits and her social appearance. While her Tik Tok presence used to consist of GRWM’s and self timer instgram pictures, her contant has moved towards daily vlogs and yearly Halloween costume inspiration. Her maximalism is portrayed both in her daily style, and daily life like her home decoration.
