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.

It will be interesting to see where she goes. Many left wing politicans lose because of a previous track record or job or to extreame policies. She is young and currently has no dirt on her and her ideals arent to extreame yet. Hope for the best

The absolute best way to reduce how much you use your phone at night is by setting a Siri command or an android widget that automatically turns on do not disturb mode and grayscale. Grayscale dramatically reduces your urge to use your phone.
