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.

I like how she keeps her look real. It’s a nice change to see a woman with self respect in that area.

Chelsea was fun early on then became kind of mean. Too bad Chewy her sidekick passed (l wonder if “shadoobie” is the same as referenced in the Stones song “Shattered?”).

Jersey is one of those places that it seems like people never really leave. They always either stick around, return, or always consider it their home. Probably because of the distinctive culture. I’m in MN and I could live anywhere in the Midwest and there would only be very subtle cultural differences. But then you have Jersey and New York and New Orleans and Southern California that are almost like their own countries

Born but not raised in NJ. Moved to PA at 13. I visit often- with the exception of this year – because family. But man, that South NJ accent was accurate.
