Most of the time I would say that the best way to follow New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is either to be there, or next best thing follow, Vogue or New York Time’s Style coverage. Personally, I have the Time’s Style app, which makes my life on the go a lot easier. Like when I want to check out the runway shows of the strikingly Sochi inspired Tommy Hillfiger show, or the Chinese take-out box purses at Kate Spade. As a student though, I barely have time to keep up with social media, read the actual New York Time’s, and the Style section. I have found that by following the editors of fashion magazines in N.Y. on Instagram, I can check out what my friends are doing, receive funny new picture messages, and also keep updated on a personal view of NYFW through the lens of the fab editors iPhone’s. If you do not have much time, I suggest following them all as soon as possible. Although you won’t see every runway video or picture, you will get the inside scoop on many items not published (such as backstage events, pictures of gift bags, and what the view from the front row really looks like) as well as their personal opinions of the hottest clothes for 2014-15. It’s like having a personal stylist in your pocket, giving you the goods with the fastest of updates. It will also help you decide which designers new and old you feel the need to look at. Thanks to a post by Amy Tastely, the Editor In Chief of Teen Vogue USA, I would never have heard of Rosie Assoulin and her poetic garments. Models and bloggers also have great posts, so start following your favorite skinny minis for the best behind the stage, fittings, and street action! This won’t only come in handy to you during fashion week, it can be helpful (and extremely interesting) all year round.
