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.

I wasn’t expecting who knows what, but I’m already disappointed. i will only be looking for candice and adriana, hoping to recapture the magic of yore although i highly doubt. angels will forever remain a wonderful memory of women who made me dream and motivated me to be in better shape. I will never forget the magic old VS sent me, ever. candice will always be my favorite anywhere, even in this format
