The 19 Best-Dressed People From New York Fashion Week, Day 1

By the Cut

Throughout fashion month, the Cut is ranking street-stylers on their outfits, crowning a winner of our Golden Peacock medal each time. Last year’s winner and Amazon Fashion’s NYFW Style Expert, Shiona Turini, will help us filter through all of the photos shot by Youngjun Koo to pick out the best dressed of the bunch. Agree? Disagree? Discuss in the comments below.

Fashion Week is fully under way, and the first day of shows proved that the street-stylers mean business this year and aren’t afraid to break out the big guns early. Tamu McPherson threw down the gauntlet, showing up in Valentino and Saint Laurent, while an unknown model managed to layer up in Sacai and Chanel. Not to be outdone were all the adorable duos — Nick Wooster played twinsies with a matching man in camel, Danielle Prescod rolled into shows with her sister Gabby, and Leandra Medine and Amelia Diamond wore perfectly coordinated outfits. And, of course, there was a little kid who could not be cuter or better-dressed.

Click ahead to see who won on day one, and watch the video below to see how the judging process played out.
