After making her fashion debut at Chanel’s Metiers d’Art show in March, the world became enamored with Lily-Rose Depp — the brand’s current Pearl eyewear campaign star and undeniable social media it-girl. In an anarchic twist that’s sure to leave her 814k followers — especially the people behind these YouTube fan videos — scratching their heads, Karl’s mini-muse recently deleted every image from her often-stalked account.
We’re not yet sure what motivated the move or if she’ll be keeping it quiet for good, but a New York Times profile published this weekend about Generation Z — the collective name for humans born between the years of 1996 and 2010 — might lend some insight. The first generation to truly grow up wirelessly, apparently more and more Gen Z’ers prefer anonymity on social media or eschew platforms entirely. When everything you post is poured over and spammed with “MORE SELFIES” comments, is it any wonder you’d want to get off the grid?
