The Top 10 Best-Dressed People From Fashion Month

During all of fashion month, the Cut ranked street-stylers on their outfits, crowning regular winners of our Golden Peacock medal. 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.

Now that fashion month is in the books, we must hand out our final Golden Peacock Awards. And what a crazy month it was! We kicked it off back in February, when New York felt more like the Arctic Circle and everyone huddled up in massive furs. That meant when it came to judging, the rule was: She who wore the best coat won the prize. Then in London, everyone let their inner freaks out — including Tiffany Hsu, who made the most of a Superman-worthy cape. Milan meant the true peacocks, including Anna Dello Russo, were ready to spread their wings, while Paris was all about straight-from-the-runway looks. But only one person consistently impressed us enough to win the Golden Peacock for the entire season. Click ahead to see who gets the honor of being the Cut’s best-dressed person of fashion month and watch us deliberate in the video below.

Honorable Mention: Our Guest Judge's Favorite Outfit Though, as our guest judge, Shiona is technically not allowed to win an award, this perfectly timed moment — where she matched the boys in Raf Simons — earns her a top spot. Also worth noting: There's a crop top under that jacket. Naturally.
