I stumbled across this account maybe a month ago on the popular, my bad, explore page on ig and I have been OBSESSED ever since.
Vogue has coined Gabriel Held as, "Instagram's foremost fashion historian" and I couldn't agree more! When you divulge into Held's insta account you learn that he is a stylist and vintage dealer who's pieces have made there way to some pretty bad ass name, i.e. Rihanna in the "Wild Thought's" Video!!!!
Speaking of Rihanna, you have to check out Gabriel's baritone rendition of "Wild Thoughts"! This baritone diva also covers Kandi's "Don't Think I'm Not", (which is how I hit follow) not to mention a weekly video of him performing Lil Kim. (Sidebar: I was Lil Kim for Halloween in the 4th grade, my mom didn't know who she was! Oh, and my sister and I got grounded for going to see her at the "No Way Out Tour" in '97)
As a lover of 80's, 90's and hip hop style Gabriel Held's page evokes emotion for me and takes me to a certain place in my life where I was super carefree watching MTV, BET (when they both played music videos and now I'm telling my age) and dreaming of being in Vogue!
So fashion lovers get in, follow @gabriel_held_vintage and enjoy the ride! I guarantee you will get your life on a daily!!! We all need it in these tumultuous times!
