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.

ITS BETTER THAN being with PAXTON. Paxton did the right thing breaking up with her. I understand her feeling insecure and jealous because she thinks she is not good enough and that everyone will judge her but it was ruining their relationship. So it’s good that paxton and devi are just friends. I feel like ben is the only good option, like des could’ve been better with her if his mom didn’t ruin it

They’ve done a good job at trying to make Darren look young even in interviews. He is really 31 and 11 years older than Maitreyi. It’s weird that we have people older han 22 play teenagers.

Do you guys think Paxton would not be in S4? Thinking about it makes me feel a little bit sad… the ending between him and Devi was good tho. I’m happy that he came to Ben. Great job for this show 😭😢🥺💕🫶🏻🤍

She was afraid to say that she don’t like cricket. 😅.. But Paxton understood.
