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.

Every one of the Spice Girls are great individually as well as collectively. But Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell stood out the most. Her fashion was iconic and she has the sweetest personality.

Why am I just finding out she sold that Iconic dress so early in her career! I wonder how much it’s worth now? Does she even want it back? That dress needs to be sitting in a display at the Met Gala!

Like night and day between who she was during the Spice Girls era and now. Basically like a completely different person and personality
