The front row at Michael Kors' New York Fashion Week spectacle became the undisputed epicentre of style and star power, but it was a new generation of icons commanding attention. Dubbed fashion's 'nepo-baby brigade', the offspring of supermodels and A-list celebrities proved that style prowess is a formidable family trait.
Leading the pack was Leni Klum, 19, the daughter of Heidi Klum. The burgeoning model, who has already graced the cover of Vogue Germany, looked every inch the fashion star in a striking black ensemble. Her poised presence signals a career destined to follow in her mother's formidable footsteps.
She was in esteemed company. Seated alongside her was Isan Elba, the 21-year-old daughter of Idris Elba and his ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons. Isan, a burgeoning DJ and model, cut a sophisticated figure, embodying a cool, minimalist aesthetic that captivated onlookers.
Completing the trifecta of next-generation talent was Delilah Belle Hamlin, 25. The daughter of actors Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna has already carved her own path in the modelling world. Her attendance reinforces her status as a permanent fixture on the front row circuit and a bona fide fashion influencer in her own right.
The show itself was a masterclass in timeless glamour, with models showcasing a collection of elegant sequinned gowns and sleek, tailored separates. Yet, it was the gathering of these young style scions that generated the most buzz, highlighting a shifting dynamic within the industry where legacy and personal brand powerfully collide.
