New York Fashion Week is upon us, which for some of us at Complex means scouting out new trends and seeing dope collections from our favorite menswear designers. (Check out the 5 brands we're looking forward to seeing this week).

For those of us going to the events though, one of our favorite things to do besides look at the clothes is check out the—ahem—talent present at the shows. Each season means a slew of editors, bloggers, models, and PR flacks are dressed to the nines and looking their flyest. So here's our tribute to the women who bring it on a regular basis. These are the 25 Female Fashion Insiders We Have A Crush On.

Zanna Roberts Rassi

Position: Senior Fashion Editor of Marie Claire

Tai Beauchamp

Position: National Correspondent, InStyle Magazine

Why we cosign: Ms. Beauchamp is the epitome of beauty and class, and a very accomplished writer. Working for the likes of Vibe, Seventeen, Suede, and Ebony. She's intellectual and has great style.

Eugenia Gonzalez-Ruiz Olloqui

Position: Public Relations Director, Michael Bastian

Why we cosign: She's the woman in charge of one of the most relevant menswear designers right now, so she always looks on-point. You kind of have to when you roll to awards ceremonies on the regular. Plus, imagine the employee discount she could net you on some of Bastian's amazing-yet-pricey pieces.

Chioma Nnadi

Position: Fashion Writer, Vogue

Why we cosign: Chioma does bold right, consistently. Whether it's a camo bag, a plaid jacket, a wide-brim hat, or bright pants, she is always stuntin'.

Samantha Rubin

Position: Fashion Editor, ESPN

Why we cosign: A woman that knows style and sports? ESPN's first-ever fashion editor is on the crush list of numerous guys, they just didn't know she was real until now.

Lily Kwong

Position: Model, stylist, blogger, contributor at Vogue.

Why we cosign: Despite the fact that she's a solid 10, we are so down with a woman that prefers to listen to "Otis" during a photoshoot.

eleanorstrauss

Eleanor Strauss

Position: Senior Fashion Editor, Lucky

Why we cosign: She's not afraid of much, style-wise. Plus, her editorials (which can be seen in her portfolio) show she's got a pretty good eye. And we love a woman with great taste.

Eunice Lee

Position: Designer, Unis

Why we cosign: Eunice knows how to make a man look good. Her slim cut chinos and quality shirts keep bringing all the boys to the yard—or at the very least Nolita. She's dedicated to her craft and definitely knows her shit, which makes us crush on her even more.

jennelombardo

Jenné Lombardo

Position: Global Fashion Director, W Hotels

Why we cosign: We dig women that can get us into all the dopest parties, and Jenné Lombardo is a huge influencer. She was one of the people behind the successful M.A.C. at Milk venues for New York Fashion Week. Her new position with W Hotels already has her staging some big events for this year's Fashion Next program. Sign us up for a backstage pass.

Kate Davidson Hudson

Position: Accessories Director, ELLE

Why we cosign: Besides the fact that she's a total bombshell, Kate Davidson Hudson is a beauty with a heart of gold. She's regularly spotted at charity events for different causes, and always looks on-point, of course.

heathershimokawa

Heather Shimokawa

Position: Senior Market Editor, Vanity Fair

Why we cosign: When you're calling the clothing-related shots at a publication with as much heritage as Vanity Fair, there's no doubt that your taste is impeccable. And despite her high-profile gig, she still looks mad pretty in a T-shirt and jeans.

shionaturini

Shiona Turini

Position: Accessories Director, Teen Vogue

Why we cosign: What dude wouldn't want to cuff a chick who knows cuffs? Her accessory game is on-point, and chances are good she wouldn't frown on your shoe game. In fact, she could probably give you a few pointers.

sheenasmith

Sheena Smith

Position: Senior Associate Accessories Editor, Teen Vogue

Why we cosign: Sheena does great at pairing neutral colors with things like a fur scarf. Not to mention she's got a great smile too.

Rumi Neely

Position: Model, Blogger, Fashiontoast.com

Why we cosign: Goddamn you half-Japanese girls. This blogger started out selling vintage wares via eBay and her blog before modeling in campaigns for brands like RVCA, Ralph Lauren, and Revolve. Despite that, she still finds time to post photos of herself in an array of killer 'fits... and we thank her for it.

juliasarrjamois

Julia Sarr-Jamois

Position: Editor, Wonderland Magazine

Why we cosign: Her big hair, ability to look impeccable in shades (and well, anything really), and fearless sense of style have a very special place in our hearts, and tumblr feeds, for that matter.

Alexa Chung

Position: Television presenter, contributor at British Vogue.

Why we cosign: Ms. Chung is newly single and can regularly be seen stalking NYC streets in anything from a pair of overalls to a pair of skinny jeans and a cropped blazer. Her style and bubbly personality are enough to make us swoon, but those eyes and that accent definitely seal the deal.

Hanneli Mustaparta

Position: Blogger, hanneli.com

Why we cosign: Uh... look at her.
