There's a certain amount of power associated with a fashion designer's ability to fill his or her front row with A-listers during fashion week. Whether it's because said designer has the cash to cut folks like Rihanna, Katy Perry orAlexa Chung a sizable check for attending the show, or because he has friends and/or muses in very high places, there's no better way to build buzz about your brand.
During the fall 2015 season, we spotted some huge stars at the shows — some were unexpected, like Selena Gomez at Louis Vuitton and Lorde at Dior, while others were literally unavoidable, namely the social media powerhouse that is the Kardashian/Jenner/West clan, which tweeted its way through the month. (Although, with millions of followers apiece, there's no surprise that the clan was invited to see so many collections in the first place.)
Now that Fashion Month has come to a close, we decided to put together a definitive ranking of the most influential front rows of the season, all of which have an impressive amount of star power — from supermodels to chart-topping singers and everything in between. (In fact, one designer was able to wrangle almost all of Hollywood's top talent by hosting his show in Los Angeles the weekend of the Academy Awards. That took balls, but it was also pure marketing genius.)
Read on to see our list of fall 2015's most powerful front rows, listed in descending order.
