The Best Designer Instagram Accounts To Follow This New York Fashion Week

In case you’ve been living under a rock (or just haven’t been checking GraziaDaily), New York Fashion Week has officially begun.

For a full week celebrities and models will be storming the Big Apple in a non-stop flurry of shows and presentations.

And, since it’s 2015 and all, you can feel like you’re right in the action thanks to Instagram - and where better to start than with designers themselves.

We’ve collated a selection of the best designer Instagram accounts for you to follow this NYFW for backstage exclusives, a sneak peek at some of the creations and a look-in from the best seats in the house…

1. Donna Karan

We're expecting a lot of gorgeous behind-the-scenes model shots from the woman behind DKNY, like this candid moment of Kendall Jenner.

2. Tommy Hilfiger

Alexa Chung has been popping up all over Mr Hilfiger's Instagram lately so we're keeping our eyes peeled for whatever the pair are cooking up being unveiled this week!
