It’s no secret that social media has changed the modeling industry. Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, we no longer have to wait a whole month for the next issue of Vogue to see the latest fashion trends. These days models are more than happy to give their fans real-time insight into their not-so-private worlds. And while it’s true that some models are contractually obligated to tweet up a storm, most do it because it’s fun and it’s an easy way to build their brands. So whether you’re looking for inspiration for your own modeling career or can’t get enough of your favorite models, these are the ladies you need to check out online.
