Summer as we know it has come and gone and New York Fashion Week returns. The celebrities have disembarked from the Greek yachts and now will find their seats in the front rows of the looming fashion month circuit.

Time will tell — and meanwhile, we’re busying ourselves with a little wishful thinking of who WWD would love to see stack the front row perches this NYFW.
