Yes, you will find them in your feed and on your For You page—in fact, you probably follow many if not all of these people. And yes, they do have large followings. But they are also authentic. The content they dole out is personal, a cut above the rest. For this summer edition of the Big Black Book—Esquire’s long-running manual for style and luxury—we gathered 11 of them in New York.
