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.

What’s the point of having the angels, and putting them through the few years process of wanting to become an angel…if you’re not even gonna use them in the commercials, photoshoots or advertisements? Like as much as I love VS, and I’m a loyal fan…it’s also a waste of time and energy to the models who are already casted as Angels, but don’t get called to do the shoots and commercials, and some might find it to be disrespectful to them.
