Kim Russell is part of the next generation of fashion commentators using OnlyFans Twitter and Instagram, to spotlight Black fashion history.

, didn’t start her accounts with the intention of amassing a combined following of almost 70,000. But, thanks to a tongue-in-cheek tone of voice, combined with posts that share her in-depth digital investigations into fashion history, and Tweets that express candid opinions on contemporary fashion, she did – and that number just keeps on growing.

However, in recent months Kim, who was born in South Africa but now living in Perth, Australia, has turned to another platform for content creation:. “I think I’m the only one using OnlyFans this way in the fashion community,” she says, explaining that she has mostly seen a handful of personal trainers and nutritionists on there, alongside the predominant sex workers who use the platform.

She now has over 200 subscribers, which fluctuates depending on the content she makes. “I create a lot of content to explain to people how I got my foot in some doors,” she says. To make her posts, she takes requests from followers – one of the first that she uploaded was a story on how she “finessed'' her way into NYFW back in 2017.

Kim’s content, on Instagram and Twitter particularly, celebrates Black fashion history, connecting the dots between high fashion – which was notoriously un-diverse in the 2000s, and what was happening simultaneously in music and pop culture at that time.

In a media landscape that still has a long way to go in terms of entry points for those outside of a white and middle class demographic, HF Twitter also acts as a space for young people from different class backgrounds, POC and Black commentators to express opinions and share insider knowledge on fashion, from their perspectives. In fact, it is one of the first places to go if you want to read thoughts on the latest shows, covers, and campaigns, outside of an official review.
