Yesterday, we gave you a sneak preview of five of the 20 bloggers Tumblr is planning to send to New York Fashion Week next month. After a selection process that sounded quite intensive, Tumblr narrowed down hundreds of submissions down to 20 blogs--16 new ones as well as four of last year's success stories. All 20 have just been announced and they are definitely ones to watch.

Exclusive: Wanna Know Who Tumblr Is Sending to NYFW This Season? Here's a Sneak Peek at Who Made the Cut

Fashion took to Tumblr almost as soon as the microblogging platform launched. A match made in heaven, the image-heavy Tumblr was the perfect way to showcase fashion pix--from editorial inspiration to runway looks to street style. According to a recent report from Mashable, approximately 180 of the top 1,000 Tumblr blogs are fashion related so it made sense that the platform hired a fashion director, Rich Tong, and that it invited 20 Tumblrs to New York Fashion Week last season. This season, Tumblr will once again import 20 influential fashion bloggers to New York to cover the shows. According to Tumblr spokesperson Katherine Barna, "the selection process for the bloggers this season was much more intensive; we put up an open call for submissions and recommendations, then spent a tremendous amount of time reviewing each and every single blog, evaluating each on original content, level of curation, unique voice, overall aesthetic, followers and traffic." Candidates were then interviewed before the final selection was made. 16 new bloggers from Tumblr's fashion community were chosen, and four are repeats from last season. Those four "produced incredible content and really capitalized on the opportunity to advance their professional careers," says Barna. So without further ado, here are five of the lucky 20 bloggers who will be at New York Fashion Week at Tumblr's behest. Tumblr will release the full list tomorrow. What do you think of Tumblr's choices this season?

Tumblr is Sending 20+ Bloggers to New York Fashion Week

Tumblr, the image-heavy platform beloved by top fashion bloggers like Tavi Gevinson and Jessica Quirk (What I Wore), is focusing more of its energy on the fashion industry. In fact, it's sending more than 20 of its bloggers to New York Fashion Week. Participating Tumblrs include What I Wore; Peace, Love, Chanel; SaraZucker.com. About eight hail from New York, but the rest will be flown in for the nine-day event. They'll receive complimentary flights, accommodation, and will be whisked off to lunches, dinners, and cocktails with a roster of to-be-confirmed brands and designers. And of course they'll receive access to several New York Fashion Week shows, says Rich Tong, Tumblr's newly-annointed fashion director. (Specific shows are also yet-to-be confirmed.) They'll also be attending the the Independent Fashion Bloggers' conference, the Bloglovin awards, and an end-of-week party. To make the bloggers' coverage of events and shows even more visible, Tumblr will host a real-time feed of their content at Tumblr.com/nyfw, mixed in with content from other "media partners."
