NYFW is officially over. While fashion junkies head to London for the next stop, there were some major industry insiders who hit the streets in the Big Apple. While most of them tend to stay low key, fashion week is the one time of year that all eyes are on them. From Vogue’s Fashion News Director, Chioma Nnadi to our very own ESSENCE Fashion Director, Marielle Bobo, these style heavyweights were sitting pretty (and in the front row) at all the shows this week.

Even a few celebs casually posed outside for photos in between shows. Winnie Harlow celebrated her fierce finale walk at the Laquan Smith show, while we snapped Rico Nasty, Dreezy and Kash Doll at Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty extravaganza

Check out our list of stylish insiders below.
