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.

It’s surprising to hear Mia’s natural British voice in interviews, she can do such a convincing American accent.

I love Mia Goth in these movies, she is such a powerful and talented actress. I wanna give Ti West the biggest hug for putting her front and center in this trilogy!

This film had so much potential, but quickly deteriorated after the first 20 minutes. The ending was cartoonishly awful.

I disagree with you up until the ending. That’s where my disappointment kicked in.

Ti West has certainly come a long way since The Roost! His career has been a mixed bag of great and not-so-great, but he’s been a major force since X. Looking forward to bigger things for Ti, that’s for sure!

Mia Goth should’ve played Aileen Wournos in “Monster”. No makeup or prosthetics would have been necessary.
