Start your engines, friends: New York Fashion Week officially kicks off tomorrow. Or better yet, power up those smartphones.
Despite what attendees' perilous footwear might imply, the majority of the longest week in September is spent running to and fro from show to show, which means the majority of insiders' observations will be posted in short, shareable snippets. Want to see what Fashion Week is really like, from both backstage and front row? Look no further than Instagram.
As a sequel to our list of recommended fashion Instagram accounts to follow, we've rounded up a NYFW-focused bunch. Follow them now -- these are the editors, models, makeup artists and A-list bloggers who will allow you to catch all the action without attending a single show.

@HuffPostBeauty: Our senior beauty editor Dana Oliver will be backstage at big-ticket shows, interviewing expert hair and makeup artists on the top spring trends.

@TedGibsonBeauty: One of our favorite ultra-pro hairstylists.
