Oh, Baby: The Essential Fashion Week Survival Guide for Front Row Kids

Everybody knows that children need structure. It’s a rule that applies as much to kids making the usual rounds—pre-school, playground, Starbucks (for a marshmallow dream bar or two)—as it does to the offspring of world-famous celebrities, many of whom will no doubt be at the shows in New York City this week.

The likes of Vivian Brady, North West, Harper Beckham, Mia Isis, Alia Wang, Blue Ivy, and Penelope Disick are fast becoming veterans of the front row, which begs the question: What exactly does a day in the life of Fashion Week look like for stylish mini-mes?

Lit by the paparazzi glare, these toddlers need more than shades to keep their cool; whole outfit changes are called for, in fact. Backstage is their playground: a place for half-pints to kick back and enjoy a little pampering. And, given that their every move is documented on Instagram, there’s no room for baby steps in the wardrobe department. Hence, our handy kid s survival guide to New York Fashion Week. From sunup to bedtime, and back in the crib—we’ve got you covered.
