10 Fashion Greats We Wish Would Join Twitter

by Ruthie Friedlander | 1:50 pm, July 27th, 2010

We thank our lucky stars that social media savvy style stars like Kelly Cutrone and Andre Leon Talley have Twitter accounts. We look to them — along with Diane von Furstenberg, Jessica Stam, and Rachel Zoe among others — for style news and the day to day occurrences of their fashionable lives.

But truth be told, too often the fashion industry shies away from such colloquial things as Twitter and Facebook. Which is why we felt it necessary to create a wish list — or rather, a begging list — of people in the fashion world we wish would join Twitter. We’ve even offered account name suggestions and tweet examples! Could we have made it any easier?
