THE MAIN EVENT
@mbfashionweek: This is hands down the ultimate insiders look at New York Fashion. Sadly it’s the last season Mercedes Benz will be sponsoring the shows, so you know they’ll be documenting every amazing moment.
WEBSITES
@refinery29: We can always count on our friends over at R29 to capture the most epic Fashion Week moments. We’ll also be partnering with the site for the next week, so make sure to check out the HuffPost Style pics on their thread and some R29 pics on ours.
@netaporter: Pay attention to the pictures Net-A-Porter shares since they will most likely be the items you’ll be adding to your shopping bag on the luxury e-commerce site come the fall.
nytimesfashion: Let’s be honest, it’s the New York Times’ fashion team — it’s a no-brainer.
@huffpostbeauty: Our executive fashion and beauty editor Dana Oliver means business when she’s backstage at the hottest shows. You won’t want to miss the awe-inspiring pics, videos and gifs she’ll be capturing!

DESIGNERS
@dvf: There’s no real reason not to follow Diane. Her designs are as epic as her star-studded front row.
