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.

If HBO’s “Big Little Lies” does return for a 3rd season, the director will have to be more than able to replace the deceased Jean-Marc Vallee!

If I’m remembering correctly, he only directed the first season, the second season was mostly directed by Andrea Arnold. Hopefully they get her back for season three! 🙂

@@autumnsnow3568 I remember reading that they brought Jean-Marc Vallée back for editing (maybe reshoots too? I am not sure) after Andrea was done with S2. There was a controversy about it. Though I think nobody could save that mess of a train-wreck since it was doomed to fail due to script. I am also not holding my breath for S3, wish it stayed as a limited series.

I remember season I as phenomenal, but not being as excited by season II, which I barely remember. Sometimes you just cant catch lightning in a bottle a second time
