  • Starting today, you can play with face filters while sharing live video. Whether you’re channeling a kitten or want to add some stars or rainbow light to your face, you can easily try on face filters while connecting with friends and followers in the moment. To use face filters in live video, tap the face icon in the bottom right corner before or during your broadcast. Tap any filter to check out a new look, and play around with as many as you’d like. You can also try on the new sunglasses face filter — available exclusively in live video for the next week — and tap to change the scenery reflected in your lenses. When your broadcast has ended you can share a replay to stories, or choose “Discard” and your live video will disappear from the app as usual. Face filters in live video will be rolling out globally over the next several weeks. To learn more about this update, check out help.instagram.com.
  • Video by @e_known Enon Avital (@e_known) reached for a bottle of honey, not an inkwell, when he wrote a message of good wishes for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. “At the beginning, I was doing traditional typography — just ink on paper, pencil on paper. Nothing like I’m doing now,” says the New Jersey-based designer and web developer. But eventually Enon looked to more unconventional materials — everything from kiwi to pencil shavings — and turned them into Hebrew typography. “I like the pieces I can eat at the end. That’s always fun,” he says. Rosh Hashana begins this week and focuses on leaving the old behind and embracing the new. “We drop all negativity,” says Enon. “When the community as a whole asks for forgiveness and resets, we are all refreshed. That is what Rosh Hashana is all about.”
  • Photo illustrations from (in order of appearance) @babbym for @fashion_east, @halpernstudio, @susiebubble and @richardquinn1 Preppy uniforms, band Ts, combat trousers, Japanese prints — you name it, Susie Lau (@susiebubble) has worn it. “What phase haven’t I gone through?” says the London born-and-raised fashion blogger. “My interest in fashion really started when I was growing up in Camden, seeing how people expressed themselves through clothing,” she says. “I approached it in a really geeky way, reading up about costume and fashion history in the library and buying magazines, cutting things out to make inspiration collages. It was a form of escape.” When she began her blog, Style Bubble, in 2006, Susie’s only intention was to keep it as her own personal hobby. “When I first started, it very much felt like I was an interloper, especially in fashion, which has always been so guarded and exclusive as an industry,” she says. But as the age of social media dawned, Susie’s blog remained at the forefront of the fashion world. “A decade on, fashion blogging has become an industry in itself,” says Susie. “It’s been good to witness that change gradually, and to know what my own niche is — which is namely discovering young talent.” Watch our Instagram story now to join Susie behind the scenes — and in the front row — of London Fashion Week.
  • Photo by @allthatisshe A family love for food and bicycles came together to create Dominique Davis’ (@allthatisshe) edible scene, using ingredients she’d just bought for their weekend away. “By asking the kids to get involved with the styling of the shot, we all got creative together,” says Dominique. “This image is about our family and was made by our family, with love.” 🚲 #WHPmadewithlove
  • Photo illustration by @ivvnwong A toy taxi enters Manhattan’s fast lane in this #WHPmadewithlove submission from Ivan Wong (@ivvnwong). “I came up with a similar idea a year ago,” says Ivan. “I thought remaking this concept would reflect just how far I’ve come as a photographer. I wanted to put all my love into my second attempt.” 🚕 Follow along to see more of our favorites from last weekend’s hashtag project.
