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.

People were LOVING!!! VS when it had peaked with unrealistic beauty standards. Slowly when VS got severe backlash and started changing their concepts & shoots everyone starts hating them and want the old toxic VS standards back. Like dude wtf

ну квота на толстых теток соблюдена.
особенно умиляет, то что модели в кадре дуэтом, им весело, они подружки, а толстенькая одинокая и грусная.
не заметил, а где азиатки и мексиканки! але виктория, непорядок!

スタイル抜群だった昔のエンジェル達が懐かしい。
やっぱり、標準超えの肥満体型は見たくないかな。
またランウェイを歩く綺麗で可愛いエンジェルたちが見たいです。
