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.

Whenever BLACKPINK Jisoo attends a Dior event, fans can’t help but anticipate the outfit she will wear. While there are always a lot of mixed opinions regarding choices of clothes, makeup, and hairstyle, it remains impossible to not be drawn into the BLACKPINK member’s classic beauty. *Recently, Jisoo appeared at Dior’s 2023 Fall Winter Fashion show in the Paris Fashion Week, surprising people with rather unique styling. In particular, Jisoo seems to have rid of the mini-dresses and natural makeup in previous Paris Fashion Week appearances, successfully stunning the crowd.*

Jisoo is already a superstar but why do I feel like she is one of my school friends? I think it is bcs of her easy going and unaffected personality opposite to her beautiful appearance.
