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.

This is actually an excellent “interview”. Robert Pattinson is a fantastic Batman/Bruce Wayne. He got the role to perfection. Can’t wait for his evolution in the future.

I’m hoping for a hush/ bat imposter in a sequel to ruin whatever heroic reputation batman had built to that point. And get either nicolas hoult or matthew lewis to play dr eliott

On that last theory about Batman drawing in his villains.. Batman knightfall kinda proves it a little with bane coming to Gotham hearing the legends of a bat .. the thing he would see I’m his dreams while spending night in prison
