Unfortunately this level of detail and care when it comes to fashion will never come back due to fast fashion taking over, even in the luxury industry's production
Back when 'wearing the drapes' was couture, rather than an insult haha. Honestly though I think the tapestry gown 0:53 is my favourite one. And how they all dramatically show off their gowns! It's all rehearsed like a dance, but they still retain so much character and charm. I also love the one at 1:15
Not only are the fashions beautiful, but the models' movements and facial expressions are graceful and elegant. Not like models today, who go stomping down the runway with a scowl on their face.
Back to the day when clothes were actually modelled. Today they sent off down a catwalk worn by scowling zombies who have poor posture and inability to walk properly in high heels.
I think Brando had a really tough childhood and after that he didn't care about strangers trying to insult him he had endured worse from people that were supposed to live him. Even Christopher Reeves complained about him not being enough of a role model on the set of Superman and Marlon probably thought this film is Christophers greatest achievement not mine and if anything his being casted made people more likely to go watch the film at all which benefited Chris too so why complain Marlon wants his paycheque for showing up and reading his lines?
Looking at this fabulous film, it's obvious that this world and the "human" (and picture those quotes about FIVE MILES HIGH) has rotted into a semi-comatose HELL on Earth. 99.5% of Americans wouldn't know how to dress EVEN JUST DECENTLY let alone well even if their UTTERLY SLOVENLY, FAT SLOB-LIVES depended on it. We are ALL DOOMED and we're bringing out the IRREVERSIBLE DEATH OF OUR PLANET faster than anyone could ever "nightmare" of.
Unfortunately they were geared towards slim figures . There weren't many plumper / rotund figures around then apart fron heavily pregnant ones. I can vividly remember my mother getting dressed up occasionally in her " best dress ." I was around 5 or 6 and thought she looked like a princess . 🤍
Fortunately, because slim is both more attractive and healthier. There were fuller-figured dresses in the 50s but not up to the tent sizes you can get today.
