A tribute to Hollywood fashion films

[@elizabethreed5178]

I think most of these fashions could still be worn today. Gorgeous.

[@elizabethreed5178]

I would love to see the fashion show from Lucy Gallant.

[@RedRosemaryDoll]

they are still worn today but mostly by celebs and pageants.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

LOL

[@jeanettecameron7530]

I think they excell, mostly, the designs of today.

[@Jacques_S]

Grace and elegance not seen in today's films. The couture of those bygone periods was impeccable. Thank you for posting.

[@blw957]

I believe the beginning 5 minutes is the fashion show scene from "The Women" 1939, which was one of the first public intoductions to color film. A great movie.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

blw957 Yes, you're right!

[@billielittle]

Sadly they remade the movie "The Women" in the late nineties early 2000's if I am not mistaken, and it was utter garbage. A truly horrible remake they should have left this classic alone. The original is so much better.

[@blw957]

The Women was also remade as a 1956 musical comedy titled The Opposite Sex, starring June Allyson, Joan Collins, and Ann Miller. I'm not sure if I ever saw this movie. I hope it is not as dismal as Lucille Ball's attempt to sing in the musical version of Auntie Mame. Remaking a classic is never a good idea. I didn't bother watching the 2008 remake as it got horrible reviews. It's like watching a drag queen do a horrible job of lip syncing your favorite song: you never get that vision out of your head when you hear the song going forward. :-)

[@marvel096]

And all the costumes were designed by Adrian 🖤 his gowns were amazing

[@kathyflorcruz552]

What a fantastic movie that is - including the color fashion show.

[@lugenehaynes7584]

Classic, Old Hollywood. I'd wear most of the outfits in this video, today. Fashion has taken a beating in recent years. You don't have to show a lot of skin to be beautiful. I loved this.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

Lugene Haynes Personally, I always loved the red and white gown worn by the model called Princess Mara. Lovely!!

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

Andrew Thornhill With ‘The Women’ sequence: The lavender & black & white ones from the ‘picnic’ tableau were my favourites- though the white & gold with the turquoise wrap is close, because I love turquoise & teal. Audrey is always stunning- I liked the understated glamour of her taupe suit.

[@suleskos.2743]

Did anyone notice that they all looked...wonderfully different from one another? There was such a variety of models/women, just like the variety of styles. Today it's all disgustingly homogeneous and careless. Well, it was nice to visit back to a time when women, and men, actually took care of thier appearance.

[@lauriebanta8990]

[@frankiebowie6174]

Rachel Garber I prefer to watch Rita Hayworth for her liveliness and fire 🔥

[@OhioGirl-bu2kv]

I so wish I could go back in time to the 1940's and the 1950's and dress like these women, and live in a house from that era (like the Leave It To Beaver) house, and drive a car from those eras, and dress up just to go shopping, and dress up to cook dinner for the family....... I want to do it all. I feel so connected to these women and these eras....and I don't even know why. Every time I see these kinds of videos I get that feeling of being so connected. It's really hard to explain. I know someone out there knows what I'm talking about. Would anyone care to comment back to me? I know I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Adrian was an amazing designer that shoul be created for glamourising Hollywood actresses in the 1930s. The Women is an amazing example of his work. Covergirl with Rita Hayworth is an amazing movie. And I just love Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. She is my constant inspiration in my work and as a human being.

My dear that is just your opinion, People that have tattoos and piercings are followers and aren't grown up enough to do their own thing. They just follow the crowed no matter how ugly it makes them.

[@heystobit4922]

Crowd*

[@asherduff8627]

Tattoos being ugly is a matter of opinion. You don't like them, or have a religious bias against them, fine, don't get one. Some individual tats poorly done are ugly. They can be sublime when an homage to a dead child, spouse or parent. Some are an expression of a national heritage (as in Polynesian) and others are high art as those practiced in Japan. What is more remarkable is that women were allowed to smile and look a natural size whereas today "fashion" is more about con-art with people buying into the need to have new, new, new clothing constantly displayed by dead-faced stomping models in transparent film over corpse stick figures.

[@lucyinthesky4682]

I love the 30s and 40s. I was born in the mid 70s but my grandma was a shoe model back in the 40s and I just love the era. I buy vintage pieces, not remakes but actual pieces. I'm a lawyer with a great education and I'm pretty damn opinionated, I'm usually a leader not a follower and I have a beautiful tattoo around my wrist for my daughter that passed away. I also have tattoos on my back and ankles in memory of others. Society needs to stop using the "follower" excuse. Stop following and come up with your own excuse. I'd rather be a good person with a tattoo than a horrible person with alabaster skin.

The shape and body type of the “woman” itself has changed over the last 50-70 years! Like....if our current day Hollywood stars wore these outfits in the same manner, they’d still look TOTALLY different from these women.

[@patstokes3615]

What has happened to fashion and beauty. Woman aren't tasteful anymore and clothing fashion as gone silent for 25 years. Up into the 90 each decade has its distinct look, but those days are gone. The beauty part of women is gone as well. Even though most of us could never afford high fashion it was fun to look at. When you see women on the red carpet they all look alike. Maybe Kate Middleton has go fashion but nothing new. I want to see one of those beautiful pink dresses at 11:46 on someone. Girls look up to women like Miley Cyrus, or Beyonce, God help us.

I've seen all of those movies. My two favorites were "Women" and "Funny Face"..Oh why can't we have women that dress these days? Pajama's and slippers are the best they can pull out.

[@isamm5579]

ed, no, not all of us wear only slippers or pajamas (and what if we did?). There are many reasons why women don't dress like this nowadays. First, very few women in the world can afford tailored clothes. Second, a lot of us today find fur is not elegant but only cruel and useless (women used to wear a lot of fur back then). Other reasons are : - It is almost impossible (I'm speaking about France) to wear a skirt or a dress in the street without being harassed, men act as if they have never seen a pair of legs, it's pathetic. -We don't like to be whistled at and personnally I hate it, it's not flattering and it is usually what (some) men do when they are a group and women are walking alone, minding their own business. It only makes us want to go home and put on trousers for the rest of our life. - I'm tall and very thin, I will never forget the day I was passing a chinese restaurant, I was wearing a short skirt and three men passed near me, laughed and said "Give her a bowl of rice, she needs to eat" the three of them being so brave. Solution : Long ago I adopted the Katharine Hepburn way to dress (I don't know if it makes sense, english is not my first language), I don't know if she really said "I always dressed as if I didn't give a damn" but I've made that quote my mantra and it has solved a lot of problems. There are some well-cut trousers and after at least a decade of "skinny jeans", many (affordable) brands are back to large trousers, realizing that yes, it is elegant. whew! better late than never. I suppose you're a man, so just imagine for one minute what women's life is, sometimes. Men are maybe not as respectfull today as in the 40s and 50s.

[@michellebyrom6551]

@@isamm5579 bravo. Well said. Ed, in the 40s there was a clear definition between manual workwear and office wear. Only manual wear (jeans for the farm in this montage) was practical. Housewives had pinafores or housedresses for domestic work and expected to wear something prettier when going out. That allowed them to keep the pretty clothes in good order. Hats and gloves were de rigueur but are considered fussy now. Sold as a bid to improve practicality and comfort a lot of good tailoring has been lost to simplify manufacturing. Hopefully, the current interest in retro fashion will convince more to buy less and enjoy wearing a better quality wardrobe. Wolf whistles always happened I'm afraid. Thankfully, men are learning and I rarely hear it near young women unless they're already known.

[@ADiosChicago]

Women have grown lazy, not all but most. I would love to dress like this every day however, I was born in the wrong era. Mind you, I still have extremely feminine things like jeweled brooches, lace hand fans, sun hats with wide brims, leather gloves with pearl buttons and an endless collection of heels and dresses. What's happens when I were such things other women typically look at me like, "whom does she think she is"? Funny... I live in North Dakota as well, not a mecca for Chanel, Carolina Herrera or Valentino so it's very difficult to find an occasion or opportunity to get all gussied up. There are days I just can't help but put on my best summer dress, the largest sun hat i have which extends 6" past my shoulders and some crystal chandelier earrings all while visiting my favorite store, Tractor Supply. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm 42 years old but remember watching re-runs of a great show named Green Acres.
