‘Next In Fashion’ on Netflix: Where to Follow the Designers on Instagram

Next In Fashion is your next Netflix obsession. The binge-worthy competition show pits 18 cutting edge designers from all across the globe against each other in a battle to see who can win $250,000 and international recognition. Tasked with corralling all of those designers and dishing out tasks are hosts and judges Tan France and Alexa Chung, a couple of international style stars in their own right.

France is, of course, one-fifth of Queer Eye’s Fab Five and the Emmy-winning show’s fashionisto. You can follow Tan France on Instagram at @tanfrance. Alexa Chung is a style icon across the pond, having pulled triple duty as a headlining model, designer, and TV presenter in the UK. You can follow Alexa Chung on Instagram at @alexachung. Those are the hosts, but what about the designers?

After all, the designers are who really make a reality competition show worth watching. It’s their talent that’s on display, and their tenacity that drives all the drama. Next In Fashion has a cast of 18 up-and-coming designers who have been paired up into teams of two on their journey towards glory. Some of the pairs are friends and business partners from way back, and some of the teams are strangers hoping they made a perfect match. So, who’s who on Next In Fashion? And where can you follow all of the designers and their fashion lines on Instagram? Here’s everything you need to know about the Next In Fashion competitors.
