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.

10:10 he really said He thinks he hasn’t written the most beautiful love theme song yet, all the while he literally wrote “One Day” for Pirates of Caribbean. HOW CAN HE GET BETTER THAN THAT LOL

It’s like he took Frank Herbert’s prose, ran it through some strange machine and translated it into musical notes. It matches the tone of the book SO well!

I am loving these videos about the music. I’ve recently learned how much I love how music is made in film. This and Ludwig have been a feast of information.

Hans is modern day maestro, someone’s must be lying when they say they didn’t like Hans’s music.
