At Raf Simons‘ debut at Calvin Klein on Friday morning at New York Fashion Week, the front row was a mix of A-list fans, old and new. There was Gwyneth Paltrow, for example, sitting alongside Julianne Moore, only that the last time Paltrow had attended, in 2000, she was parked next to Julia Roberts. New year, new Oscar-winning buddies. Brooke Shields was a new presence in the front row this time around, but she was one of the first faces of the brand in the ’80s. In one Richard Avedon ad, Shields asked coyly, “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” Clearly, that still rings true. Other fresh new faces included the 12-year-old Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, as well as hardcore Raf fan A$AP Rocky. Here, an extensive history of all the celebrities who’ve ever sat front row at Calvin Klein, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, and Ashley Olsen. Plus, Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg, for good measure.
