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 sad she never is with her other kids. People talk about how tom doesn’t talk to suri but never how Nicole doesn’t talk to Conner

He’s not her biological kid AND he’s in a cult. She’s with her other kids constantly.

Tom poisoned Bella and Connor against her. They remained loyal to him during the divorce and were raised as Scientologists.

They’re into scientology and they can’t have connections to relatives who are not part of scientology. So it’s on them not Nicole.

They consider her a Suppressive Person because of Scientology. If you leave the cult, your family cuts you off.

@@serenasomersetI think your comment is the most logical. They’re not her Bio kids so she dropped them and started a new family and got a Oscar. She didn’t like his beliefs and opted out. Kate took her kid and kept her out of the spot light. Nicole using her kid to push watches.
