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.

Skin care routiiiiiiiine…babyyyyyyyy…..looooooook. That’s why many americans are singing when they soeak, they are imitating the Kardashians. So they are apparently so cool, so smart people want to imitate even the way they speak☹️☹️☹️

never forget she scammed millions of girls into thinking her lip kit would make their lips bigger all the while she was getting filler.

Sad thing is people actually are naive enough to believe that this is real beauty, people like her be really motivating others to be natural and love themselves and still go through surgeries to look beautiful thinking that it’s really making them so but in real the looks are scary af.

Exactly! If people like her are telling us to love ourselves and the way we look, they need to do the same. She looked so much prettier before plastic surgery. Same with Kim, kendall, and all the others

Lip injections Look ugly on everyone! I don’t care who they are! jJst stick with thin lips, they look so much better. Duck lips look awful.

i luv kylie but she’s starting to get that very classic ‘botched plastic surgery’ look that celebs and influencers tend to get, where like,, it’s just so obvious now that she cant even hide it. her lip + cheek filler look overdone and a bit migrated, she has pillow face now😭! it’s honestly aging her cus she does NOT look 25.

It is surprusing that Vogue promote somebody with deformed lips that is openly promoting natural look
