Toronto Fashion Week kicks off today with runway shows from local designer labels like Beaufille and Line Knitwear. For those who missed out on bagging tickets, we’ve picked the top Instagram accounts to follow for behind-the-scenes access to what’s going on at the most sought-after shows. Because most of the real action—like close-up beauty shots, silly model behaviour, and designer meltdowns—happens behind the runway. Below, a look at Toronto Fashion Week’s filtered scene, including the models, designers, photographers, and make-up artists that make the week stylish and snap-worthy.

Model <strong>Senait Gidey</strong> will likely elicit extreme envy with her gorgeous selfies. But her top model status (she just walked for <strong>Balmain</strong> in Paris and <strong>Burberry</strong> in London) and dominance on the runway will ensure some fierce style shots this Fashion Week
