Fashion Design Schools Guide - by Fashion Design Guy

When it comes to blogging, Twitter is the way of the future. Now we can keep up with our favorite celebrities and journalists long before fresh ink hits the magazine shelves, at 140 characters a pop. Who is currently navigating the twitterific world of fashion? Here is a sampling of the best:

PEOPLE

1. @xobetseyjohnson Betsey’s punky, flowery frocks may cost a pretty penny, but her twitter is the best clue-in to specials and sales. Bonus: she nearly always follows you back. What a pal!

2. @insideDVF A glimpse into the world of iconic designer Diane Von Furstenberg, Twitter style.
