Designers and fashion houses on TikTok The accounts you must follow.

If you think TikTok is only for teenagers, think again; we see more and more designers and fashion houses on TikTok. Their presence on the app proves that the video social network is becoming an essential tool for the fashion world.

TikTok is a mix between Vine and Snapchat and has similarities to Musical.ly, which was bought by the same company. According to the company, “TikTok enables everyone to be a creator. And encourages users to share their passion and creative expression through videos.”

The world’s most downloaded app

What started in China as an app where Generation Z shared short choreographies, and creative videos have had a meteoric growth since its launch in September 2016. In fact, the app had 1.5 billion downloads in 2019. And in 2021, the app had 656 million downloads. TikTok is the world’s most downloaded application, superseding even WhatsApp and Facebook.

With a massive number of active users, it’s no surprise that designers and fashion houses are becoming present on TikTok. It is a fantastic platform for brands to be closer to their clients.
