Mark McNairy

You either get Mark McNairy or you don’t. If you get him, you know that he was voted one of GQ’s best new menswear designers in America. You get streetwear and music references, so you understand the awesomeness of him--including his choice of playing Backstreet Boys in the pre-show soundtrack. You get how cool it is that he got Greg Chapman, Nick Wooster, Pusha-T, and his models to drink Heineken and brandish switchblades while walking the runway. And you just have to get the inherent, tongue-in-cheek coolness of his clothes--because he does not like to talk about the ever-present, designer topic, of “inspiration.”

From Anna Wintour and Michael Kors chilling at Macy's to Sarah Jessica Parker vogueing it at Fred Leighten, there was no shortage of mega-watt stars
