时尚街拍网Instagram is not having a good month.Just a couple of weeks ago social media sensation Essena ONeill made a splash as she admitted what she and many fellow bloggers put on the photo-sharing app was fake, vacuous guff all in the name of accruing as many followers as possible, and now Grace Coddington, one of the biggest names in the fashion industry, has admitted she thinks its “pathetic”.
Speaking to American Vogue, the publication she has worked at for almost 30 years, the 74-year-old said:
“I hate Instagram, actually.I think it really interferes with peoples lives and things and its pathetic how everyones photographing everything theyre eating all the time.Everybody uses it instead of reading the newspapers these days.People want you to know that theyre holidaying in Greece.I mean, really.”
The editor has a back-story with Instagram; her first ever post saw her entire account suspended because it breached the apps no nipple policy.And no, she didnt post a nude self portrait, it was actually an illustration of her sitting on a deck chair sans clothing (see below).
“The first one I posted, my whole account got taken down because I was naked, which was ironic:Its a goddamn cartoon!” she added.

Coddington, who hails from Angelsey, is currently promoting the re-release of her best-selling memoir, Grace:A Memoir.
