New: Shop Looks From Creators

Starting next week, people will be able to shop inspiring looks from the creators they love without leaving Instagram. With the ability to tag products in their posts, creators can make it easy for people to shop their favorite styles on the spot.
People come to Instagram to keep up with their close friends. They also branch out to explore the things they care about such as art, fashion, music and entertainment, and the people behind those crafts. From public figures and artists to entrepreneurs and publishers, creators are a cornerstone of the community on Instagram. People love getting that spark of inspiration when they learn about a new skin care routine or see their favorite musician in that perfect denim jacket. And unlike seeing the jacket on a rack, when they see it on someone they look up to—or someone who looks like them—suddenly it's relatable and even attainable.
Today, creators tag the brands they are wearing, add details in the caption and respond to countless comments and DMs. With the ability to tag exactly what they're wearing, creators can get back to expressing themselves and sharing what's on their mind, which will make their followers happy too.
No matter when people are inspired, we are committed to making the shopping experience simple, convenient and secure. This is yet another important step in our shopping journey and we'll continue to listen to feedback from our community on how we can make the experience even better.
We'll begin testing this with a small group of creators over the coming weeks. Creators in the initial test include: Aimee Song, Alissa Ashley, Alondra Ortiz, Alyssa Coscarelli, Annabelle Fleur, Ashley Strong, Blair Eadie, Brittany Xavier, Camila Coelho, Candace Parker, Chriselle Lim, Cole Carrigan, Chiara Ferragni, Dave Gilboa, Devin Brugman, Diana Saldana, Dylana Lim Suarez, Elle USA, Ellen V Lora, Gigi Hadid, GQ, Hannah Bronfman, Huda Kattan, HypeBeast, Isabel Bedoya, Jaleesa Moses, Jen Atkin, Jenny Cipoletti, Juju Smith-Schuster, Karen Gonzalez, Kathleen Fuentes, Katie Sturino, Kevin Ninh, Kimberly Drew, Kim Kardashian West, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Laura Kim, Madelynn Furlong, Mary Lawless Lee, Mona Kattan, Natalie Lim Suarez, Negin Mirsalehi, Neil Blumenthal, Nikita Dragun, Nicole Warne, Parker Kit Hill, Refinery29, Romero Jennings, Ronnie Fieg, Rosy McMichael, Stephanie Ann Shepherd, Tyler Haney, Vogue and Yovanna Ventura.
Only businesses in the shopping checkout beta will be able to use the shopping from creators feature. Creators must be using an Instagram Creator or Business Account in order to use this feature. Both creators and the brands they tag will receive shared insights within Instagram so they can better understand performance of shopping posts. For brands, this means a new way to reach an engaged audience who are actively looking to their favorite creators for inspiration, and make it easier to shop a brand's products.
