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.

This is literally a “Review” not a “watching for fun commentary” so you in the wrong place if you looking for jokes and not an analysis
Mr. Monkey
August 4, 2020 at 6:47 pm
@aspeno why so serious Mistress?
aspeno
August 4, 2020 at 7:16 pm
Mr. Monkey Not intending for it to be serious it’s just a review which isn’t going to be humorous as a watching a YouTuber commentary on shows/movies cause reviews are meant to be informative
