50 Questions with Chloé Monchamp

As we start to see Instagram embrace a more natural aesthetic – moving away from highly curated and edited feeds to realer in-the-moment captures, Copenhagen influencer Chloé Monchamp is testament to just that. Using just her iPhone and no special editing apps, Chloé’s Instagram feed is about as real as you get (and it’s 100 per cent making us reconsider all those hours spent in the editing chair…)

Coming from fashion pedigree with a mum who’s so stylish it hurts – in fact, she’s the founder of MØRCH Fashion agency @morchfashion, it’s clear where Chloé gets her sartorial ways from. Not afraid to take some style risks – watch out for this one in the front row in coming years as we’re picking she’s just getting started.

Here, we grab Chloé for a red hot minute for our latest Fast 50 to talk everything from Prada tracksuit pants to keeping the focus on the clothes.
