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.

Google global truth project and read “the Present” to see the truth about life/death. Nothing is more important than checking it is true, especially pgs 1-4

Ralph Macchio seems like a pretty chill guy. I liked how he explained the characters and the story of Cobra Kai.
Edited: I accidentally wrote “Ralph Macchiato” so I fixed it!

About to go watch season 3. The story is cool but imo Netflix needs more creative people in charge, or perhaps a more creative director. The shots are so bland sometimes, it makes the show and the actors come off as incredibly corny. Again I really like the story, I just wish Netflix put more artistic visuals into it. I kinda wish it had a Breaking Bad kind of pace, the show would be 100x cooler.
