Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.

Hmm, we wonder why Adele answered that specific number of questions…can anyone figure it out?

I say it will be 1995. In 1995 Adele was seven years old. The same age as her son was when she got divorced with her husband. The album is for her son. I bet it would have something to do with how she remembers herself at that age or something like that because her own parents were divorced. What do I win if I get it?

It was said before but I agree. 95 questions for the sum of all her albums: 19+21+25+30 (the upcoming album). Love Adele, she’s so down to earth 🤗

i think the new album is gonna be called 33, not only bc she is 33 now but also bc it was 95 questions and she said “see you in 7 years”, a person born in 1995 will be 33 in 7 years.
