The industry is chummier than ever, even at the highest level, with former Dior and Calvin Klein designer Raf Simons now joining his long-time fashion best friend Miuccia Prada as co-creative director at her own brand. And there’s platonic love across the board, with model BFFs, musician muses-turned-designer besties and college pals-turned-friends-for-life cheering from the front row of each others’ shows. Not such a bad thing being friendzoned, is it?
