Milan Fashion Week: Saoirse Ronan and Lucy Boynton among stars on front row at AW19 shows

Whether you’ve just bought tickets to a comedy show or running late to a film screening at the cinema, choosing to sit on the front row is widely viewed as a last resort.

That is, unless you’re attending fashion month.

The catwalk front row, or FROW as it’s commonly known in the fashion industry, is a sacred ground reserved for elite members including stylists, celebrities, editors, and muses. Not only is the FROW a who’s who map of the business’ hierarchy of importance, but your sartorial influence on the world.

Recently, it’s where the Beckham family shimmied alongside US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for Victoria Beckham’s autumn/winter 2019 runway collection, Joan Collins stunned onlookers at Erdem, and Lara Stone and Jourdan Dunn showed off their towering physiques at Christopher Kane during London Fashion Week.

From Gucci to Fendi, click in the gallery above to see who graced the Milan Fashion Week FROW.
