Jessica Alba 

Also at Tory Burch, Alba demonstrated smoother, sleek lines in her personal style with less drama and more polish. Her presence helped anchor the row between bigger statement makers.

Martha Stewart 

Martha showed up at several shows demonstrating that NYFW’s front rows continue to span generations. 

What this lineup shows is that the NYFW spring front rows weren’t just about celebrity presence, there were curated style moments. There was a bold contrast in style from classic to edgy style, as well as flowy romantic garments married against tailored structured garments.
