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.

Bring back Sexy Little Things … I don’t know why you have to be better than lingerie itself… You make underwear can we please have some fun.
Clearly you care more about your brand, image and overall company value then you do what your long term customers want. We want fun. We want sparkles and glitter and neon colors. You somehow made one of the only fun things left in my life bland and boring.
I’m just gonna have to keep going and finding second hand sexy little things on eBay Poshmark in Depop.
