what a gesture at 2:18 when a model takes off her jacket holding her muff under the left hand and then takes the jacket and muff into the right palm reaching through her back. I watched it several times thought she let it fall. what a trick

@OmarLuna1981 7 лет назад

And the quick small short steps complete the picture of a finest, elegant model.

@markusmulder_ 3 года назад

Yes! That was perfection 🤩

@hermajesty52 5 месяцев назад

In order pics, even teens look older as u were taken more seriously and respected as an adult and everything was aimed at people who could become a customer, older people.Thats why the models aren't teenagers.

really quite amazing

@victoriaaguilar266 3 года назад

First off the models were beautiful and smiled, they were of all ages and glided down runway with grace and beauty. Each one knew how to walk and move in each garment they modeled. . Their makeup and hair were beautifully done, sleek and fashionable. The fashion was exquisite and breathtaking. The models today clog down the run way similar to Jethro, in unfinished rags they model which is suppose to pass for fashion. They wear a scowl on their face, their hair and makeup is ridiculously done and they are anything but beautiful or graceful. Trashy is the new look, I will take these garments and this fashion show, over anything that is strutted out there today and called fashion.

@lesleyklotz5149 Год назад

Could not agree more!

@watercolourferns Год назад

I was with you up till you said today's models aren't beautiful. They are just as beautiful, the problem is how they make them up with looks that are supposed to draw attention to the "garments" but really don't.

@Estela_2002 Год назад

@herrbrucvald6376 8 лет назад

Today's shows are too fast. I like the 1950's Paris couture house shows where the models slowly walked through small in-house crowds and patrons could really 'touch' the clothes with their eyes....

Women who would wear fur have no concience. I blame fashion designers for this faux pas .Even in the year 2020 fur is a major FAUX PAS.

Wonderful, a bygone era that was so elegant. I was born in 1950 and I still have vivid memories of my mother making me a dirndl skirt which I loved so much. The material was cotton and design beautiful pale apricot roses, I loved it so much. I grew up wearing kitten heels, chisel toed shoes, pencil skirts, twin-sets and shift dresses. I love the 50's fashion!

As he describes the details of each dress and type of fabric, the haute couture of today seems lazy and uninspired. Think about all the effort and tailoring that goes into making that slit back on the one dress that balloons out in the back yet looks very tailored and sleek in the front. So elegant

@caligulalonghbottom2629 6 лет назад

details such as that are very much frequented on todays high fashion. look at Dior which continues to do versions of the new look, Chanel, Giambattista Valli, Valentino, McQueen, etc all make beautiful and highly detailed clothes. You won't find clothes like that at Walmart or Target or even in a catalogue (which probably doesn't exist now...) because most modern people aren't willing to pay for quality fashion, they want it quick, comfortable and cheap. Don't blame the designers because believe me, they would like you to pay for their couture. Keep in mind, everyday women weren't wearing couture Dior and Norman Hartnell in the 1950s...they were wearing lesser quality, cheaper and more simple clothing, albeit a more 'ladylike' design. Fashion was almost uniform like prior to the 70s. Fashion 'rules' were observed. Everyone wore variations of Chanel or Dior as those were the silhouettes of the time. Now, you can wear anything you like. If you want to dress in 1950s style, there are plenty of fashion retailers which can accommodate you...but its going to cost you.

@MrEjidorie 4 года назад

I was born in Japan in 1956 when this English Catwalk Show was shot. This footage shows how people looked like and felt about beauty at that time. Models` beauty transcends the times indeed. But one thing I feel sad is that many beautiful models in this film are probably gone a long time ago.

@victoriabiel5861 3 года назад

It's so nice to see actual women modelling and not sixteen year olds. There used to be grace, charm, and elegance-powerful characteristics that are woefully lacking in today's slum culture. It's time for the tide to turn.

@lizzykay9912 3 года назад

I really admirre how previous generations used models with more than one size/ shape/ look. It makes the clothes look like something wearable. Also the presenter called the models; mannequins! How cool.

@wildflowerwind6941 3 года назад

And then the 1960's fashion and subsequent fashion was trash compared to the 50's.

Beautiful clothes and models. More inspiring than some fashion shows today. I watched a video showing a Chanel show this year and the models wore waders. Not something I intend to copy but I would try and copy some ideas from this show such as gloves, court shoes and poise.

@annanardo2358 Год назад

I DON'T approve of the fur those fashions were created with. Designers had no compassion for animals. Even now, it's totally inappropriate, unethical and appalling. The clothes are beautiful and so are the models. Today's fashion models don't even smile and some are quite scary, very scary looking , w/ overdone fantasy makeup. Years back the models were natural and normal looking.

This is the second time I have watched this video in the last few months,and although I was only four years at the time of the fashion show I still yearn for the elegance and graceful style of that time. Much better than today. I think Hollywood glamour and stars of that era are better than today's actors.

@denisadellinger4543 Год назад

A total different type of model. Those outfits were all unique. I loved the dress with the buttons up the back. I was born in the fifties. I miss the hat being a necessity. One must wear a hat today to shade your face from the sun.

@coralarch 6 лет назад

Despite the lovely fabrics and superb tauloring, I find these fashions very ageing. However, I prefer models like these graceful ladies to today's emaciated ghouls and their knobby-kneed "pony walk" prancing.
