Long before magazine covers and premieres, Zendaya was already claiming a seat at New York Fashion Week, watching from the front row rather than waiting in the wings. That early, consistent presence is part of what critics point to when they call her a fashion muse — proof that her eye for a look formed well before her career did. It is a reminder that a front-row seat can be its own kind of education, and that the city's runways have had a hand in shaping one of fashion's most closely watched dressers.
