Who's who in the front row at New Zealand Fashion Week

The best sport to partake in at fashion week? A bit of front row guess who.

It’s here you’ll spot the fashion industry elite… and guaranteed what they’re wearing will inspire you as much as what you’ll see on the catwalk itself!

Here’s who to spot on the front row (L-R):

Simply You’s editor Naomi Larkin has style in spades and an illustrious publishing career to match.

With a discerning eye for fashion and a penchant for a piercing stiletto, Fashion Quarterly editor Sally-Ann Mullin has long been a front row favourite.

Fashion Quarterly’s creative director Marcel Gull is New Zealand’s own Andre Leon Talley, but is more likely to be spotted in head-to-toe Zambesi than an ALT muu-muu.

You’ll never miss Simply You’s fashion editor Louise Hilsz in the front row. Ain’t nobody that can rock a rainbow colour palette like she can.

All statement spectacles and platinum perfection, The Black Wall owner, buyer and Instagram-favourite, Krystal Boyd-Priest, is a street style photographer’s dream.

Hands down the most hilarious lady in fashion, TV presenter and Westfield brand ambassador Amber Peebles is always a ray of sunshine in the front row.

As a former model and regular front rower, blogger and super-mum Anna Reeve knows fashion like the back of her hand (and has the best legs in the business).

TV presenter and former model Colin Mathura-Jeffree needs no excuse to don his glad rags, but fashion week is his time to shine like the star he is.

If it’s worth writing about, Frockwriter’s Patty Huntington has already pipped you to the post.

Fashion media power couple, Zoe Walker and Dan Ahwa, are NZFW front row mainstays.
