With instant information sharing services like Twitter, fashion week is becoming a whole other game. Photos are uploaded minutes if not seconds after a model walks down the runway, images of fashion show from Milano, Paris and New York are being distributed at almost instant speed to anyone who is interested in fashion via the world wide web. It seems like the public no longer needs the elusive invitation to attend these exclusive shows, but it remains to be shown if this democratization of information will continue as sites like Twitter are still relatively new. It seems like a great opportunity for budding fashionistas in small towns and fashion students to catch a slice of the exciting world of the big 4 Fashion Weeks.

Above is a photo from the Rick Owen's collection posted on twitter during the show.
