Who to follow on Instagram this Fashion Week
There are lots of fun ways to experience Fashion Week, but certain parts of the festival are off-limits to even the savviest show-goers. Thankfully, a select set of insiders (including stylists, editors and photographers) regularly update their Instagram feeds with behind-the-scenes intel. Here, eight industry experts to follow this Fashion Week.
THE MODEL
Kiera Yasmeen took home last season’s Best Model award at Fashion’s annual awards bash. She’ll be walking in shows like Mikael D and Stephan Caras, so her feed should be full of sequins, skin and voluminous ballgowns (plus a few of her fun, goofy selfies).
My game face is ON or R.B.F as I’ve been prepping to key 35 shows for next week for @maybellinecan @wmcfashionweek So. Much. To. Do. Where’s the PAUSE button? At least I’m having a good hair day. Thanks for letting me vent. Wish me luck? We got this. @stylepilgrim @jorge_joao @labelleclaudia @intl_peach #currentmood #twitchyeye #makeupartist #lifeofamakeupartist #makeithappenA photo posted by GRACELEEBEAUTY (@graceleebeauty) on
THE MAKEUP ARTIST
Grace Lee has perfected the faces of Gigi Hadid, Eva Longoria and Drake. This season, she’ll be beautifying models backstage with Maybelline New York. Prepare to peruse lots of flawless cat-eyes and perfectly sculpted brows.
THE BLOGGER
Justine Iaboni is a fixture at Fashion Week, and a regular street style star. If past seasons are anything to go by, she’ll be sharing a week’s worth of ridiculously perfect outfits (complete with her signature accessory: oversized shades).

This week, she’ll be attending the shows, hanging out backstage with ethical designer Laura Siegel and showing off her impeccable personal style in Canadian designers like Sentaler and Ela. Follow her for some (free-of-charge) outfit inspiration.
