In news that is difficult to report: It appears that four year old front row it-girl Harper Beckham was a Fashion Week no-show. North West and Aila Wang, Alexander's niece have also been noticeably absent from this season's shows. What does this mean for both toddlers as a trend and Fashion Week in general?
For one, it signals a clear shift away from laps as a NYFW seating option. It also goes to a general lack of cuteness at Fashion Week and a return to business (and celebrity dusted front rows) as usual, which probably a good thing. At least we still have Victoria's Instagram to "awww" over.
