Eva Chen @evachen212
New Yorker Eva Chen doesn’t only helm shopping magazine Lucky, she’s very hands-on on social media. Besides Instagram-ing her daily accessories and shoes, she tries to answers all questions from her followers. Chen not only pays extra attention to the footwear on the runway – she captures close ups from her front row seat – she also snaps herself with all her pals from Prabal Gurung to Bryan Boy.

Natalie Joos @Jxxsy
When your job is to decide which models walk for which designer, chances are you are friendly with everyone who’s a who’s who in fashion. Natalie Joos has worked with 3.1 Phillip Lim, Hugo Boss and more and perks of her job include recording front row celebrities footage like David taking a picture of his brood at the Victoria Beckham show on Instagram.

Who else are you going to follow but the all-American girl Karlie Kloss during New York Fashion Week? The model offers a peek to what goes on backstage at a fashion show from getting prepped with hair and makeup to cheeky selfies with her fellow genetically blessed peers like bestie Jourdan Dunn.

Leandra Medine @manrepeller
The Man Repeller never fails to give her humorous – and sometimes inappropriate – take on runway looks, with a reminder that fashion is fun. She’s also not afraid to make herself and her own #OOTDs (Outfit of the day) a joke and photobombs her fellow fashion mates like Miroslava Duma like the best of them.

Gucci Westman @gucciwestman (seen with husband David Neville)
Besides models, there’s no one better to offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look than the global artistic colour director of Revlon. Gucci Westman details all the chaos before show time on Instagram and keeps beauty buffs updated with the final makeup looks at each show she works on. We are loving the retro eyeliner flick she did on the models for the recent Rag and Bone show – her husband is Rag and Bone designer David Neville.
