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.

They’re thoughtfully made but it baffles me how people would go above and beyond just to own a piece. It’s just a bag in the end

If it was “just” a bag, no one would pay 5-figures for it.

They are absolutely beautiful bags, but the prices are crazy, even with the amount of hand crafting involved in their creation.
The waiting lists alone are ridiculous too!

I think I understand why the prices of “the birkin” stands out, it’s probably because of the craftsmanship and then the brand, lmao.
But oh, Alexandre, 😍😏

The Hermès bag is ugly. It should be given to women over the age of 60 and at a discounted price.

Most of those workers were confused as to why she was even there, as in saying “she’s never here, why is she here today?” Lol.
It’s like when your bosses boss comes into the office and gives a tour to higher up people and starts interacting with the staff when in reality they know nothing about the team and what they do.
Anyways, Hermes: where we strive for diversity in the workforce. 😂😂
