The fashion industry isn’t all business — it’s a lifestyle. A wide variety of individuals have built their lives and careers around fashion. If designers are the pants and jacket, then models, photographers, bloggers and tastemakers are the accessories, without which the outfit would fail to succeed.
If this concept is over your head, let’s simplify it — we’re talking 140 characters simple. Some of the most important players on the style scene have found a home on Twitter, where they share their daily musings with the world.
