What Is VSCO Girl?
What is VSCO Girl and what does the term ''VSCO'' even mean? Lets start from the basics. The term VSCO itself, is the name of application that is used to edit photos. As strange as it may sound, this isn't the first time to refer a trend to a web application or service. One of the most popular trends before VSCO Girls, which some of us might still remember was a trend called ''Tumblr Girls'' which was referred to teenage girls using Tumblr internet platform.
