Don't Miss:

Twitter turns 7 years old today! Not only did the site birth the terms hashtags, handles, and Tweets, it also became a go-to place to get fashion news, straight from the designers and brands themselves in easy-to-digest 140 character posts. Scroll down to see which ones we love to follow, and add them to your list today.

@hm: H&M
The retailer racked up almost 1.9 million followers so far, and it’s a go-to place to find out about new collaborations. Last month, H&M also enlisted David Beckham to Tweet from the handle for his new underwear collection. Yum!

@Dior: Christian Dior
There’s no better way inside this storied house than through Twitter, which is why it gained a following of over 1.8 million fans so far.

@Burberry: Burberry
Creative director Christopher Bailey is social media obsessed—and to the benefit of his 1.7 million loyal Twitter fans. Burberry posts tweets daily about everything, from what’s new in stores to the newest campaigns to behind-the-scenes videos.

@MichaelKors: Michael Kors
Kors knows how to connnect with his fans (over 1.1 million of them!). He consistently answers fan questions, gives style tips, and shout-outs to his favorite new items in stores. And who can resist his humor?

@MarcJacbosIntl: Marc Jacobs
“Slightly bohemian, a little off-color,” is the description of Marc Jacobs’ account, and it’s accurate. Perhaps that’s why he has such fantastic fans, over 939,000 and counting.

@gucci: Gucci
Think everyone wears Gucci on the red carpet? This Twitter account gives you constant celebrity updates, plus a view inside the famed Italian label.

@LouboutinWorld: Christian Louboutin
“Louboutin is as Louboutin does,” was one of the recent Tweets the brand posted, and it perfectly fits its Twitter perspective. Expect to find new hashtags, quirky quips, and those iconic red soles everywhere on this feed.

@StellaMcCartney: Stella McCartney
The British designer has over 456,000 followers tuning in to read her updates, about magazine articles (some from InStyle!), new collections, and more.

@dkny: DKNY
Aliza Licht, the woman responsible for making DKNY’s Twitter a must-have for over 435,000 followers has become at Twitter personality all on her own. She constantly Tweets whatever’s on her mind—not only about fashion, but about pop culture and life itself. Oh, and she’s hilarious.

@Zac_Posen: Zac Posen
There’s nothing we appreciate more than honesty, and Zac Posen has tons of it. He holds nothing back on his feed, and you learn so much about the man behind the fashion. For example, he likes Scandal. Good to know!

Her Majesty the Queen has just released her annual New Year Honours list, and Stella McCartney landed one of the 71 spots in this year’s lineup! McCartney, who designed the U.K.’s uniforms for this summer’s Olympic games and was named Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards, has been named an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her “services to fashion.” The honor is one of the five orders of chivalry originally created by King George V in 1917 and still in place to this day. And since we already know the Duchess of Cambridge is a fan—she wore the designer’s vivid cobalt sheath twice in 2012—we can only predict the princess will show off more of McCartney’s fashion-forward designs (and perhaps even maternity styles) this year!

Plus, see all of Kate’s outfits!
