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.

people swear they hate kim and want nothing to so with her. yet they’re always the first ones to watch and comment on her videos, providing her with crazy engagement, which gives her more money. Y’all are no different than her fans

the journalist did a great job. She was very calming and asked very interesting question. I also thought that Kims answers were gripping

Vogue, please stop spending any time and money on Kim Kardashian. She has no talent. She has no style. She’s generally disliked, and not the brightest bulb. It’s like watching a car crash, when you focus on her. Please stop.
