They may not be the biggest names, but the front row at
Charlotte Ronson—a who’s who of It Girls, with Kelly Osbourne, Nicky Hilton, Joy Bryant,
Margherita Missoni, Angela Simmons, Ellie Goulding,
Sky Ferreira, and
Whitney Port in attendance—is among the most loyal and enthusiastic. They’re friends-cum-fans of the New York designer, and aren’t quiet about their allegiance. Port and Hilton whispered about their favorite double-denim and dip-dyed pieces on the spring ’12 runway, while Simmons got reality TV star-turned-fashion critic Osbourne’s feedback on a pair of ‘70s prairie-style lace pants. They weren’t the only ones getting loud for Ronson: At the end of the show, sister Samantha Ronson interrupted her playlist with a big, loud airhorn and a fist pump as her sister took a bow. But the biggest crowd reaction was saved for Ronson’s half-sister and muse, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, who walked in the show. Her boyfriend, French graffiti artist Andre Saraiva, stood up and cheered, mom Ann Dexter-Jones laughed, and the rest of the front row whooped loudly. Annabelle gave a quick, shy smile and then kept walking; after all, it wouldn’t be a Charlotte Ronson show if there wasn’t some noise.
