Stars, they’re just like us! Well, sorta. New York Fashion Week is not just for industry insiders or tastemakers who anticipate the new trends presented on the runway. Celebrities are also among those who eagerly sit front of the house for an up-close presentation of looks, that would be suitable for any of their upcoming performances, appearances, and many other outings. Having first dibs at clothing has it perks. After all, they are the driving force behind the designer looks we crave.
