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.

Why would Victoria’s Secret’s angel shop at the store? Doesn’t she get all of these for free? Lol.

Anonymous Girl I don’t think they’re actually buying the bras, I think they just did this video as another way to promote the bra.

I love❤Victoria’s Secret but… Where do you live that is perfectly fine to wear a bra as a top?😕 It looks good maybe in a thin woman with little bust but it won’t happen in a normal day to day environment.🙅 Maybe it’s fine for a model or influencer 📷🎥 but not for regular people in a normal town. I’m sorry but it must be said.😒

She’s a model. They can walk around naked and it’s ok. But I’d say black bra with black lace top. And grey leopard with heels and mini skirt with a jacket 😘❤. Love your figure!! I’m plus size but trying to maintain healthy weight of 11stone so I don’t feel sick all the time 💖🤗🤗personally I prefer covering up but if I had that figure and tan. I’d wear barely anything lol 🤣🤣
