Front Row Celebs

If you had VIP status, major coin to blow and a serious passion for fashion, chances are, you'd be aching for a seat at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week too.

New York has played host to star-studded events this last week, drawing celebrities to front rows of shows and to glamorous after parties.

The stars get to take in the spectacles, bathe in the limelight, revel in the publicity and of course pick up thousands of dollars worth of designer swag.
