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.

Just because you are not into makeup, it does not make you a tomboy sweetie

@Brina Carpenterbeing athletic also doesn’t make you a tomboy. Exercise has nothing to do with gender.

She says she didn’t wear makeup because she was a tomboy, not that she was a tomboy because she didn’t wear makeup

@lbncstll Don’t be dense. I can’t stand this family but it’s pretty clear what she meant. You didn’t use “I’m not like the other girls” correctly btw.
