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.

If people understand the difference between class as opposed to relating it to cocky or snobby behavior they will understand her.

Her insight on each look and little tidbits of memories is so incredible! You can feel her respect and love for her craft. What a lucky thing to have been able to watch her grow up and into such an amazing woman ☺️

it’s sad how you can see she has to fight the negative feelings for the year she won her oscar, she got so much hate for no reason.
