Social media is among the most complex modern-day means we use to communicate. Though the list goes on, I use social media to infuse myself in global conversations and to experience diverse content without limits. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat are among the media that allow me the ability to learn about as many things as I please simultaneously.
This week I connected with influencers from across the fashion industry by using #NYFW on Twitter. This allowed me the opportunity to attract fashion junkie followers who I was in turn able to learn from, and overall gave me a better understanding of NYFW as a truly digital attraction, as some may call it. I experienced the same interconnectivity from the location of one of my Instagram posts. After sharing a photo with the Spring Studios location, I had likes and follows from users in the same place who added to my NYFW conversation, and again, this gave me another angle of the content I was already consuming.
Social media knows no borders or boundaries, and gives its users the freedom to pick and choose material we find worth creating or recreating and sharing. In doing so, we engage in communities we never would’ve been part of had it not been for a hashtag or live stream that we contributed original content to, as I was able to see in the last several days across my platforms.
Between Snapchat Stories and Instagram Moments I truly cannot keep up with #NYFW

But it’s nice to see outlets like @voguemagazine using a high traffic moment like #nyfw to spread the message to vote.
