TIME magazine has named The Museum at FIT one of The 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2013 in the fashion and beauty category.

As the magazine writes:

After consulting with TIME editors in every field from politics and sports to technology and entertainment, we've compiled a list of Twitter feeds that stand out for their humor, knowledge and personality. It's not comprehensivethere are more deserving tweeters than we can tally, and all honorees from previous years have been excluded. But like a good tweet, we've boiled down the issue to its essence: 140 feeds in 14 categories that you should follow right away.
