Note: To be eligible for this challenge, your Lens must be published after August 14th. No brand names or logotypes may be utilized in your submission.

Inspiration Moodboards

To get a feel for the upcoming Fashion Month, we’ve provided four moodboards, each inspired by a different fashion capital: New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Use these vision boards to make your Lens a perfect fit for your Fashion Month!

New York Inspiration

NYFW is having a lively and energetic comeback! The NYC runway is riddled with playful and cheeky designs. Think bright colors, lots of skin, and a return to joy!

London Inspiration

London always shows up with much revelry! Think room-filling silhouettes, extravagant headpieces, and in-your-face colors. Fashion “rules” are meant to be broken on the London runways.

Milan Inspiration

Milan is the home of sultry and sleek designs. Think seductive tailoring, bright colors, and bit of shimmer.

Paris Inspiration

Paris calls for all things chic with touches of feminity and romance. Think light pastels, romantic patterns, and feminine silhouettes.

Inspiration by You

Our AR Community has already come up with so many fashionable looks! Search for them in the Snapchat app or on Lenslist and get inspired by other Lens Creators.
