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.

Hailey is the most overrated model the world has ever seen
Chanel Lexi
September 7, 2022 at 5:14 pm
@Fruity Flows You don’t have one either so why are you talking? And what does that have to with anything? My point still stands. Aww are you hurt stan?
Fruity Flows
September 7, 2022 at 5:21 pm
@Chanel Lexi . I’m a man who came across this short. I’m always curious about insecure women since my sister was one and didn’t get along with my gf. I had a stepmom as well so I’m always intrigued by why women dislike other women or feel the need to put them down.
Maybe I’m butthurt and don’t even know it, but the fact remains is that insecure women always find a way to put young pretty women down , hence you are insecure and projecting it on Hailey..just think about it🤗😘
Chanel Lexi
September 7, 2022 at 5:25 pm
@Fruity Flows Ain’t no one insecure. I’m entitiled to my opinion. What about that don’t you get? And what is a man doing on here arguing with women and using cringy emojis? Don’t you have better things to do? And clean your fingernails

THE SHOES THO – NO STOP WHY they look so bad 😭😭😭
Это моё мнение
September 7, 2022 at 5:37 pm
no matter how it sounds, but I do not believe in such models as Jenner, Gerber, Hailey, Hadidi and so on, they have rich parents. so I could be on the cover of vogue. yes, they are very beautiful, successful. BUT 🤐

They are literally the highest paid models in the world?? Who else do you want?
Noneofyourbusiness
September 7, 2022 at 6:17 pm
@midoriorio Back in the day the highest paid models were the best models like naomi, gisele, kate. Nowadays the highest paid models are the worst models. They’re paid that much because of their last name. Because they’re famous not because they’re good models
