5 Apps for Designers to Download for NYFW

5 Apps to Help You Shine this NYFW

NYFW is right around the corner, and — like it or not — fashion designers are working in a swipe-right, need-it-now community. We created a list of 5 apps every designer needs before showing at NYFW to optimize their impressions and to get the most bang for their buck. (Runway shows are SUPER EXPENSIVE, but these apps are free to download, right from your iPhone.) These days you need more than a beautiful collection to catch editors’ and influencers’ attention.

Instagram: Where To Post About Your Brand (Before & After The Show)
For American designers this may seem a little redundant, but for international designers we have to tell you that Instagram is king! If you don’t have a Instagram handle and are showing at NYFW you will be missing a ton of your coverage and beautiful content.

Swish: Create An Ad On The Go (& On The Low) For Your Show
Now you can save time and money with Swish by Lightricks, a video content creating app that allows you to create short video ads without any experience or editing background. The Swish app gives smaller businesses the ability to create dynamic videos to help them compete with large fashion houses or big box beauty brands. With foolproof templates you are guaranteed to always be able to create a beautiful video every time – all from the palm of your hand.
