Ah, the most coveted seat at all shows. On a few occasions, I sat front row and I can say this is the best spot from which to see every runway look, model, and celebrity. You might even receive a little memento from the show (what felt like three-pound candles were given out at Noon by Noor). Sitting front row meant I got a close-up view of all the details on a garment without craning my neck over people's heads or having phones block my peripherals. (That's how I snapped this cool boomerang of Christian Siriano's "People Are People" t-shirt from his Fall '17 collection.)
The front row is also where you can do some pretty major celebrity-spotting. I walked by Clueless's Alicia Silverstone and Orange Is the New Black's Danielle Brooks at Christian Siriano and that alone made me stop in my tracks. I watched them pose for photos — FYI, those camera flashes are blindingly bright — before casually making my way to my seat.
I have yet to spot Anna Wintour, though — we keep missing each other! Perhaps I'll have better luck next season?
