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.

Conan really IS trying guys. He brought Ashley back in his new video as an ash in cone cooking show reunion and this is BASICALLY A MOVING VLOG. Conan never left us. He just doesnt have 14 hours to edit videos on his own anymore because he is making time for his other dreams so hes trying to incorporate those other things he doesnt have time to do in the same way into the new things. But he’s really trying and cone i jusy wanna let you know i see u and appreciate u
