As long as they gave you credit I see no harm but they should @ least ask. Happens to me all the time w/o asking but photo credit was acknowledged

It's the business part of it that makes me react. I am not in this hobby to earn money for other people (or for myself for that matter...) and would expect a business to act a bit more professionally. At least give me the chance to say yes or no before reposting as you say.

What's Instagram? Is it something about people who earn their money by wearing fashion and try to look if they're doing something important?

Yes. Hence my presence.

..Can they do that? Is this "fair use" or are there just nothing that prohibits companies from doing this?

I’m curious of what would be the answer from IG if you were to pose them your question....
