Fashion month is back and in full swing.

As designers debut their autumn/winter ’17 collections and the street style set take to the pavements in their finest attire, all eyes are well and truly on New York City.

But the one thing the fashion scene is really keen to know, is who has made the FROW this season?

We round up the famous faces on the front row as they take their seats:

Coach

Creative director Stuart Vevers sent out models in horse embroidered skirts, floral dresses and leather bombers. Each outfit finished with a shearling hat of course.

The runway was dusty with straw and tumbleweed, creating a sense of old-school America. New face of the brand Selena Gomez sat beside Anna Wintour on the front row. Other A-list guests included Ashley Graham, Emma Roberts and Drew Barrymore.

Prabal Gurung

A renowned feminist, Prabal Gurung used New York Fashion Week as a platform for protest against Trump (as many designers have done so far).

Models donned t-shirts bearing the words 'My Boyfriend Is A Feminist' while the designer himself walked out in a tee emblazoned with the phrase, 'This Is What A Feminist Looks Like'.

Calvin Klein

This season marked Raf Simons' debut collection for Calvin Klein. After three and a half years at Dior, the fashion crowd waited in anticipation to see what the newly appointed chief creative officer would bring to the runway.

And attendees were not disappointed. The designer reinterpreted what it means to be American in light of Trump's politics with patriotic flags, western-style shirts and cowboy boots juxtaposed against new ideologies. Male and female models donned matching garments, perhaps a sartorial indication that we all should receive equal rights?

And the FROW juxtaposed the original with the new too as '80s Calvin Klein muse Brooke Shields sat besides new model for the brand, actress Millie Bobby Brown.

Jeremy Scott

As anticipated, the Jeremy Scott show was a star-studded affair with muses of the moment, Sofia Richie and Kylie Jenner, sitting front row. The show, which took place at Skylight Clarkson Square, featured models of the moment too.

Jeremy Scott is renowned for his outlandish aesthetic and this season the designer utilised the platform in order to enable true creative freedom.

Altuzarra

Altuzarra hit the headlines when the New York-based fashion house announced that a pair of tickets would go on sale for the autumn/winter '17 show and profits would be contributed to Planned Parenthood.

Donald Trump's recent executive order banning federal funds from organisations that promote abortion sparked the historic decision. And enabled the brand to join fellow designers in the protest against Trump this season.
