If you’re sat in the front row, it usually means one of two things. Either you’ve turned up late to the cinema, or you’re the class dork.
Regardless, it’s hardly a coveted spot. Unless, of course, you’re at a fashion show. In which case, the aforementioned connotations are rendered obsolete.
At fashion week , the front row, or frow as it’s called, is not just a place to sit and ponder how you spell “Gabbana”.
In fact, the frow is reserved for those at the upper echelons of the industry – editors, buyers, stylists – and Hollywood celebrities.
It’s a place where Anna Wintour trades tennis tips with Seth Meyers while Kate Moss catches up with Naomi Campbell .
