A Collection of Designers’ Images on Instagram

Designers on Instagram: #Fashion ( Abrams , $20), a new book by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, features more than 250 square-format images from some of the biggest names in fashion, including CFDA members Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Rachel Zoe. Kevin Systrom, the founder and CEO of Instagram, who will receive the Media Award at the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards on June 1, writes in the foreword: “The emotional connection through images is what has inspired and humbled us most about the Instagram community over the past four years. And no industry has brought that connection to life more than fashion.”

A visual treasure trove, the book lets reader into the private world of fashion shows, collections in their early stages, and designers' sources of inspiration. It's filled with beautiful images, from Michael Kors's shot of the Empire State Building to Kate Spade’s tray of glazed pink doughnuts to Ralph Lauren’s Fourth of July celebration with two children wrapped in an American flag.
