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.

I knew a woman who wrote a book about Japanese fashion. Rei was one of the central figures. This woman bought one couture dress every season. She decided that she had to make a choice: Buy a house or buy couture. She would rather own couture.

Anyone who’s reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the darks thoughts, The overthinking, the doubt exit your mind right now. May replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life
