“Macy’s Presents Fashion’s Front Row will once again ignite the catwalk,
giving fans the opportunity to experience Fashion Week like never

most coveted designs and marvelous music and dance performances, the
elusive front row will be open for all to enjoy,” said Joseph Feczko,

Hitting the runway will be sensational presentations of designs from Calvin
Klein, I.N.C. International Concepts, Rachel Rachel Roy,
Tallia, Tommy Hilfiger, William Rast and the
world-exclusive debut of Betsey Johnson’s collection inspired by
DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming feature film, TROLLS, which opens
in U.S. theaters on Nov. 4. The runway will also feature an exuberant
presentation of Macy’s TROLLS children’s designs. Before the
models hit the catwalk, their high-fashion beauty looks will be crafted
and applied by the incredible artists of Lancôme, featuring the
fall season’s must-have cosmetic palettes. Samsung, the global
innovation leader in consumer electronics and mobile technology, is the
event’s signature technology partner and will also showcase its
fashionable line of smartwatches on the runway in a special presentation.
The glamorous spectacle would not be complete without amazing
performances from the hottest acts in music. Set to ignite the stage
with her smash hits, international pop sensation Ariana Grande will
perform a selection of her chart topping songs. A multi-platinum
superstar, Grande’s music has ruled the charts, airwaves and dance
floors in countries all over the world. Her latest album, Dangerous
Woman featuring the hit singles, “Dangerous Woman” and “Into You,”
was released in late May to critical and commercial acclaim. Keeping the
party at full blast, Flo Rida will also hit the stage pumping up the
volume and the energy as he unleashes his monster hits on the audience.
In just a few years, the Florida-born rapper has amassed an impressive
