So apparently Spike Lee is going to live until he’s a hundred and fifty years old waiting for the Knicks to win the championship before he passes.

Spike Lee needs to make that Jackie Robinson film even if he has to rewrite the script . Do the right thing and just do it … next year is the 50th anniversary of his death .

Doesn’t it matter if Denzel Washington is too old because there are plenty of talented people out there who actually look more like the legend . Would be a wonderful gift for Mrs. Robinson while she’s still alive .

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

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.
