1950s Fashion Vintage Paris Catwalk Show

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

Each and every creation was just exquisite. Its so sad our generation has nothing to wear as beautiful as those ensembles.

[@lilygirllisa]

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

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

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.

[@kat35lulu88]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@solchodaseewicz4584]

I love this part 0:13 he sounds like he is drunk hahah

[@AFAskygoddess]

I miss the 1970s, when I owned quite a few gowns and wore them frequently. The world has changed and not for the better.

I mean…..some things are better

[@aesthetix3398]

The world has changed a lot for the better we have a lot more rights.

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

[@azurelionheart]

Such wonderful harkenings back to an era of elegance. If only these dresses were more common nowadays...

[@cheyenne6913]

You can absolutely still find dresses like this. Not to mention the enormous vintage fashion community online that still dress like this.

[@AAjootian]

they still exist and people still party like this

[@AAjootian]

and it's better bc we can have these dresses without the prevalence of daytime lynching 😊 elegant is relative

[@DONTcareAnymore000]

@@AAjootian yes, they still exist. Here in my place, I see those dresses in any department store.

[@suebotchie4167]

Beautiful clothing.

The narrator, Ed Herlihy, starred as Mr. Buxton in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure". Pee-wee Herman had an ear for talent.

Women "Yay! Buttons down the back!" (Sarcasim here)

[@johannaholmgren8088]

Well, dresses like that are a status symbol. Since you clearly needed a maid to get you into and out of the dress.

[@extrastout1741]

So cuteeee

[@snowysnowyriver]

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.

[@momoz1]

runway models are given ill-fitting shoes either too small or too big and they have no choice but to walk in them

[@user-iz8uj6km5w]

My favorite creator

[@annalisavajda252]

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?

[@Tamunett]

I wonder how much these dresses cost bck then?

[@plicketyplunk]

A fortune. The same as couture today.

[@AFAskygoddess]

Easily, a month's salary for the average worker. Probably more.

[@LynneC44]

Beautiful clothing...just elegant. No silliness like you see now. Nothing inspiring these days, fast fashion, and pajamas in public.

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

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.

Give me comfortable cotton dresses any day. Thank goodness women don't need to feel like manaquins anymore.

[@hagamosartetuyyo77]

[@Dawn-Songs]

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 . 🤍

[@bloodorange6713]

Because thin figures are healthy and better.

[@plousia]

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.
