These content creators from the Northeast are slaying when it comes to fashion

In the crowded and saturated online space of Instagram influencers and content creators, it is hard to find someone who is truly authentic and, honestly speaking, hella stylish.

Joan Dominique Rai:As a gender-fluid influencer, Joan Dominique Rai considers fashion and imagery as a medium of storytelling. His Instagram account showcases his ability to mould himself beyond gender tropes with the help of clothes. This Darjeeling-born, Kolkata-based influencer is partial to bold colours, mix of prints and statement jewellery. His signature though, is the colourful crop of hair he dons–from fiery red and icy blue to pastel pink and, as his Instagram name suggests, pearly white too.Instagram: @thewhitehairedguy
