Channeling: Fashion’s Coolest Influencers

We like to consider New York Fashion Week a cram-session in style — we get two opportunities each year to memorize the latest trends, refresh our inspiration folders, and try to peek at the notes of those at the top of their class masthead.

After all, when you work at a publication, corporation, or organization that values this season's in-style stilettos far and above a working stapler, it's almost a job requirement that you dress like a hundred (thousand) bucks. To help you with your prep-work, we've zeroed in on six of our favorite fashion leaders — stylists, editors, consultants, and more — and broken down their style to help you kill it this September.
