It goes without saying that the main draw to a fashion show is the fashion, but there were other equally delicious reasons to attend Academy of Art University’s Fall 2015 Collections at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this season. The front row was packed per usual with photo-ready celebs, industry titans and models. Among them: albino model Shaun Ross, model Karrueche Tran, Miss Universe 2015 Paulina Vega, runway coach and America’s Next Top Model personality J. Alexander, famed journalist Michael Musto, Big Time Rush lead singer Kendall Schmidt and Lubov Azria, Chief Creative Officer of BCBGMAXAZRIA– to name just a few.
