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.

The fact that they filmed the whole movie in 57 days makes this even more incredible

What I love most about this movie is that I can literally ***see*** that the whole Nolan’s team was working at some heavenly level. Now seeing how it was built is just so amazing.

There was such a physical and solid authenticity to the set.

Crazy that there was no Oval Office set available to use, it must be one of the most reproduced locations in TV appearing in almost every political thriller.

Just bare in mind that if you take the total budget of this film and add Barbie’s total budget on top of it, both films combined cost less money to make than the Flash.
