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.

She’s gorgeous, but I don’t see the point of VS having angels if they always hire new models for their commercials

Anyone else a little annoyed by VS trying to be the opposite of what it was, aka diverse, not so commercial and EUROPEAN?! Why is it always saying Bond Street under the Logo? I like that they include bigger models, but what about the angels? What about the sexiness? The new way the brand is feels fake and hypocritical….
