  • The shoes are still popular today and the dresses and suits van also be worn today!@

  • Comment removed

  • You have to love the furs,too!!!!

  • at least models back then had some meat on their bones...i find them way sexier than stick thin models now

  • I would love to know what he was using on her hair to make it wavey?

  • @kikyotwosoul Probably. plain old Bobby Pins aka Kirby grips. The "bobby pin" came into wide use as the hairstyle known as the "bob cut" or "bobbed hair" took hold. This trend gained popularity in the 1920s, and the bobby pins kept the bobbed hair in place.

  • Please Tell Me, What is the name of the first song?

  • It's called Black Maria.  Played by the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra.

  • @Aaron1912 yes, this is OPSO from Czechoslovakia, founded in 1974 in Prague by bandleader Pavel Klikar. You can see and hear more from this Band here on YT,for instance-Charlie my boy atc.

  • Fascinating

  • Women in the 1920's must have rejoiced at the non-restrictive clothing, as compared to that of their mothers and grandmothers.

  • culture sucks today, all it is is a bunch of auto tuned hipster shit

  • @JennRighter Oh and before you also accuse me of stalking you, I merely clicked the facebook link you have on your youtube channel, if you didn't want people to click it and see your celibate 55 year old face then that's too bad best not to promote it on your channel.

  • @bubblebutization I see, Alienesque, that your stalking and obsession are deeper than I originally thought. I have reported this new channel that you have created to continue to harass me with to the Youtube administrators. Let it go. I am a complete stranger. I don't know what is so wonderful about me that you are now thinking about me everyday and wasting so much time stalking and harassing me. There are positive things in life you could be focusing on that might make you a happy person.

  • @JennRighter I see on facebook that your interest is Celibacy, I suspect that is fundamentally your problem you aren't getting any and like to take out your frustrations at anyone you come across. You have a weird and scary ragbag of opinions, glad you are not my neighbor. I find you creepy.

  • I've said my piece, apologies to the channel owner. Feel free to delete anything you want.

  • @JennRighter - "You are completely intolerant", strange then that you JennRigher apparently hate fur, hate porn, hate the US government, believe in revolution (careful for what you wish for), love Gadaffi, love Ron Paul and argue with anyone who thinks otherwise. Yet you call other people 'intolerant', simply because they find your views extreme and even frightening. Your views are so out there, that I seriously hope the FBI are aware of you. Is Timothy McVeigh your hero?

  • @JennRighter " you should not reply to what people write on Youtube"...

    Why shouldn't she reply to people on youtube or to your mad rants? Yoy seem to be missing the point of youtube. Maybe you think others should just sit back and let you bully and harras them on here? Sure only you have the right to comment on videos. CUCKOO!

  • @JennRighter Again this video was about Fashion from a bygone era, what is there to debate about it? You set out to argue with people and push your extremist feminist agenda.

  • @TheAlienesque, yes best thing to do was just walk away. Crap how that person came on to this channel to post offtopic points and insults about fur. Jennrighter sounds like a timebomb.

  • @JennRighter "there multitude of Jennifer Righters in this country, I don't believein collectivism so the idea that I am an antisemite is asinine."

    Strange then that all these JennRighters sound and think exactly like you. Do you hate all Americans? No one cares what you believe in. This was a video about fashion in the 1920's.

  • @JennRighter Definitely a threat in there. You were blokced but you threaten to go on and on and on, and that's what you did. You are the stalker.

  • @JennRighter "and it is you who won't leave", Why should she have left this channel? You don't own it.

  • @JennRighter I just googled you to, does that make me a stalker? You are a creepy individual.

  • @TheAlienesque Don't let JennRighter get to you Alien. I did as you said and googled the creep. It's all true what you said. Funny that he, yep definitely a guy denies its him yet it's the same political garbage about Ron Paul and Gadaffi. What an angry and scary person.

  • @TheAlienesque They seem to more or less attract the other, don't they?

    Funny how being a 'slutty' or 'loose' like some of these flappers or women of today can either mean being sexually liberated and intensely powerful or a doormat for bad men.

  • @TheAlienesque I think it goes both ways. It seems sexist to me to say definitively 'It's always men manipulating women', not only is that unfair to the character of men but implies women aren't smart enough to outsmart a man. It's like plastic surgery. Changing your body in (like a sex change) in of itself is not bad. But it's the crazy "I must be like the TV girl" that distorts it. There's nothing wrong with the sex trade in of itself, but there are some crazy factors.

    BTW, you're classy

  • @TheAlienesque The thing is, there is nothing wrong with being a 'slut'. There is something wrong with being a whore when it means manipulating a man (or woman???). But then again, there is nothing wrong with being a whore is the meaning is someone who gets paid for a sexual service and both parties are aware.

    I appreciate the Fitzgerald quote. Very flapper.

  • a lot of the ladies weren't classy though cos they got drunk and slept around a lot, some even took drugs. no difference from today really, then they got STDs and some died because of it. the fashion is neat though, very unique. the music was great too. i wouldn't want live in that era though cos i'm a girl and then you'd have watch your world crash around you after the stock market crash of 1929 and the great depression settle in.

  • that was a beautiful time, but i just CAN'T go ONE day without technology.i wonder how my life would be back then...0.o

  • @lalalalalaAilyn would be normal,If you live back then,so you wouldnt be know any modern technology so that you wouldnt be missing it

  • Where did you get the music? I want to use some of that kind of music for my own video

  • aww, i was hoping to see some men's fashion as well.

  • I don't see what's so different... they still wear heels and flashy gowns

  • Thank you so much for uploading all of these videos!

  • I really love vintage. But I hate how people on these comments can just go on about how all women today are whores and all the men today are bad and the culture sucks and people sucks and everything sucks.

    What made this generation great was that they were proud of themselves.  By their parents standards they were 'trash'. I don't understand why people can't love this era's culture without belittling our own.

    This is a beautiful era, but I'm happy to be alive now, too.

  • @fizzypopism well said buddy

  • A few years ago I was at an antiques and old stuff fair, and I found some perfect mail order catalogues from 29,30,31, 32 from a big warehouse/mail order company. They had all sorts of things, but very much was clothing. I just had to buy them, they're awesome. No photos in the catalogues, only drawings, but many of them look almost like photos. And some of the drawings are exaggerated with extremely thin wastelines or wide shoulders, depending on whether they're mens'- or ladies' clothes. Cute.

  • 20' and 30', most femenin, elegant, and confortable style ever!! every woman can look beautiful in it, with a few exceptions maybe... I love that.

  • THAT WAS BEAUTIFULL!!! But I have to say that I don't think that EVERY style today is "Trashy" everything in life change, music and dance, clothes, even as we speak..!!

    It just depends on how woman exploits her beauty. So.. from 20's to 2011 It would be boring if we still use the same..

  • So elegant! The fashions of the '20s through the '40s made almost any woman look attractive. Unlike today's trashy look that only a supermodel can look good in.

  • @victorbrunswick

    So elegant! The fashions of the '20s through the '40s made almost any woman

    look attractive. Unlike today's trashy look that only a supermodel can look good in.

    Everything today is trash from fashon to plastic garbage and broken families

    anti smoking anti drinking anti drugs but lots of cancer, autistc, AIDS

    cancer was uncommon then and no autistic and no AIDS

    nothing good about today

  • @The391956 Really? And that's why a majority of the big screen names at the time DIED of cancer. Ever consider that maybe people just didn't talk about these things? People didn't find out smoking caused cancer until much later, so how could they report it?

  • @The391956 Are you actually serious? All those things occured then. AIDS was treated as a self-inflicted illness as a result of sexual promiscuity, children and adults with autism were sent away to camps to hide them from the people of society, and cancer was considered untreatable, moreover they knew little of the cause. So just a few good things about today for you to dwell on there.

    Beautiful video by the way.

  • @ChiChiClifton

    Yeah, AIDS didn't exist until 1981. 

  • Wow. I feel like I just had a full meal of knowledge!

  • I love this video! I wish that I had been born in this era!

  • Everybody comin on these 1920s,30s,40,50s etc clips hatin and what not should just get the fuck off. We know those times were not that great, but just because you hate those times does not mean that you have to take your fuckin anger out on everyone else for simply enjoying the music, dancing and such. Just shut the fuck up and leave..oh and quit reminding us that they're dead. WE KNOW THAT ALL READY

  • I want that HAT! at 2:59.Gorgeous!

  • back then, people thought "women had so much class back in the 1840's. why cant it be like that today?"

  • true, it would be a boring world to those of us who don't suffer ENOUGH to hear of suffering. the history of the world is about synthesis, about the conflict between different modes of being, of power being horded, relinquished, stolen and taken by force. all of this opulence reminds us of how much abundance is still really around us, and of the pride before the fall... incidentally, the 20s look was very inspired by many things that had come before (ie egypt, art deco), then streamlined.

  • Have we exhausted all the fashion in the world? I don't see anything original. It's always "was inspired" by this decade or that era. Even the "Futuristic look" look like crap.

  • Mother Creator

    ~~ Loves You ~~

  • Flappers scare me after watching The Great Gatsby.

  • Women back in the 1920s were so classy and beautiful, i DO WISH SO MUCH THAT THE LOOKS WOULD COME BACK AND THE CLOTHES AS WELL..

  • Also, after the "flapper"/pretty unique hairstyles of the 20s, notice that hairstyles of the 1930s, 40s, 50s, etc. up to the present, while obviously showing variations thru the decades, haven't really changed that much from the "revolutionary" 20s hair. If you look at a picture of Gene Tierney of the 40s or Elizabeth Taylor of the 50s you'll see a hairstyle that would be very much the same as the present (well except hats were worn).

    Tthe 20s were revolutionary time for women.

  • The form-fitting clothing "revolution" of the 1920s has, for all intents, remained the style of western females ever since. There have obviously been variations thru the 1930s, 40s, 50s, etc. but for all intents contemporary western female dresses/clothes are derived from the "cultural revolution" of the 1920s. Looking at the pre-20s loose "baggy" clothing of women and the post-20s "figure fitting" clothing of women makes abundantly clear the "cultural revolution" of the 1920s.

  • Literally suddenly, around the mid-1920s the big flowing hats and very long hair tied up in the "gibson girl" hairstyle is gone replaced with the short "Louise Brooks", "Clara Bow" and "Colleen Moore" hairstyles. More importantly was the women's clothing: women's clothing became very "figure form" fitting; accentuating ALL the female form not just the waste. Women's clothes - as shown in the movies in the 1920s - had changed dramatically from that of "Victorian" "Gibson Girl".

    (cont.)

  • Stumbled on this video. Commenting cause I'm a filmmaker/film historian and most persons don't realize that the 1920s represent a "cultural revolution" in women's style. I couldn't but notice in watching films from the 1905s onward to right around the early 1920s where women's clothing were much one saw in the pictures of the "Victorian Age" of long loosefitting dresses with the exception of the pronounced (usually) belted waste to emphasize the "hourglass" of the waist.

  • Their hair before sucks.

  • Awwww! So nice!!

  • do you know what the thing is that the had .to make the ladys hair like tht?

  • wish i could go back to the 20's and picnic... *sigh*

  • my grandpa was born in 1920 hes 90 now :P hes still alive..

  • I like the part where they were showing how to style hair. Thank you.

  • Very classy thank you

  • Awww...Poor foxes :(

  • If anyone has any question about the earlier years, come visit my page. My parents are from the mid/late 10's to the very early 20's. Both of them are still alive.

  • seems to me that flappers were the original sub culture

  • enjoyed this stunning clothes, i want them

  • Can someone please post the titles of all the songs playing in this video? Thanks.

  • stunning!

  • Uh, Damaris1034, we KNOW some people were unhappy then -- there is such a thing as Original Sin, after all -- but oh, to be surrounded by that music and those fashions!

  • hehe..............

  • @skot66, wanna get hitched? ;)

  • LOVE LOVE the music and LOVE LOVE the clothes and the hair!!! 1920's and '30s are my favorite era for fashion. Thanks for this--very cool. I miss the 20th century.

  • LOVE LOVE the music and LOVE LOVE the clothes and the hair!!! 1920's and '30s are my favorite era for fashion. Thanks for this--very cool!

  • women had so much class back then. And they had style!

    Oh lord, why did it change to what it is today?

  • @Eveningking

    same thing goes for men ;)

  • @Eveningking i like the style too, but it's likely the case that only the classy women were filmed back in the day. i dont think they filmed the poorer ones, who were wearing the same ol' dress every day and didnt lead the fancy life we see here.  so we dont get the full picture of that period by watching such vids, do we?

  • @Eveningking because something called the "70`s" happened :P

  • @Eveningking Actually, women in that era would get drunk, do cocaine, go to bars and 'heavy pet' different men and drive around too fast. Their dresses were considered immodest and they had sex often.

    Women weren't classier back then, and it's pretty hateful to say that today's women lack class.  1920s or now, we're exactly the same.

  • @Eveningking I agree! I AGREE! but there is still a small minority, which is good because it makes them better than the other 'trashy' people

  • Why does theese clips seem to make everyone upset? Ofcourse the twenties wasn't a dance on roses for most people and I think everyone knows that. But does that mean it's forbidden to admire the style, music and culture? Jeez.

  • Jesus, are you people really arguing under the influence of a 1920's fashion video? Throwing the word cunt around willy nilly! Ditch the obscenities and check out those stockings!

  • k alucinate rola sexi women eso es todo pura pose y top model ye yei

  • 3:02 looks like changeling, no?

  • Love Flappers

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with all of you, the men are definately FINNNER back in the 20's 30's 40's and 50's....Sexier style....eg. Alexander Gray from the movie "Sally" in 1929.

    By far the sexiest most talented guy i've ever seen.

    lol

    and im only 23

    ;)

  • i just luv the 20's......so much class

  • The 1920s were much better times

    but not for the disabled we were

    put in institutions so I will take

    the 2010s. Soon Nursing Homes

    will no longer be funded it will

    be in the community only under

    medicaid.

    Will be glad to see all those

    nursing homes go out of

    business.

  • Another just bees knees video!!! ^_^

  • Does anyone know who the girl performin from minute 2 to 2:30 is?

  • it's sad that society accepted women smoking in the 1920's...more people dying from cancer...but people would do anything to be in fashion..cut off all of their hair,wear short dresses,start smoking.

  • Sexuality was quite different 80 years ago .....but I kinda like it I suppose woman are beautiful in any era. Very enlightening.

  • La Belle Epoque!

  • Why does everybody from that era look pretty much the same to me? Is it just the make up or something?

  • @beckasha83 Yeah same with me.... well i think its because they all had to wear makeup the same way & the hairstyles were limited.

  • pretty crappy era in my opinion

  • do you think at 1.29 on your vid the head gear would suit lady gaga love the fashion then perhaps thats where victtoria beckham is pinching her ideas from

  • The first music we hear is called :"Black Maria"

    Thanks Aaron for your videos,they are always very good!

    May long live the 1920s!!!

  • The song at around 3:14 is called " I Ain't Got Nobody" there are a few versions of it on youtube.

  • everyoe back then had class! and were nice! and beautiful and men were handsom too!! lolz!! wish i could hav lived back then!! i would have gotten to wea all those cool dresses and corsets!!

  • excellent!!

  • Sexyy!!

  • Yes, the styles and the damsels were more classier. But no, the quality of life was not as idyllic as some believe nowadays. After all, racial segregation and lynchings were a fact of life. And lifespans were considerably shorter. It would be nice if we adopted some of those fashions today as it would make women look more beautiful. But society back then would have been much better if they adopted our more tolerant outlook.

  • Aaron1912 Can you recommend some good music either from the 1920 or modern music in the 1920s style? I have always loved this music, but I have no idea what to look for! Thanks!

  • OPSO rules! Beautiful!

  • Este es el video perfecto para familiarizarse con la época y buscar un buen disfraz para una fiesta de los años 20.

  • Also heard the saying..Everything will come back in style,sooner or later! This wd be neat clothes to wear again!

  • Comment removed

  • you know what at least back then holes in jeans was a sign of being homeless and not fashion. i would take that era any day.

  • @Damaris1034 Very true. If you were a poor boy, you couldn't marry a rich girl. People don't think about how different we are from those times. Wishing the 90's, 80's, 70's, 50's, 30's, etc. etc. would come back. People were extremely ignorant in some of those decades and some had very little understandings.

  • @Damaris1034 well indeed does this luxury life look wonderful, don't you think?

  • @Damaris1034

    Honestly: I d rather live POOR in the 20s than rich NOWADAYS with all that egomaniac and megalomaniac human SCUM!

  • @Damaris1034 My grandmother grew up during that era and she was black. I am honoring her for Halloween by going really old school. 21st century flapper coming through. <3 (Boodoop be doop!) ;)

  • @Damaris1034 I agree, i really love all about the twenties! I have diabetic, and if i was living at this era i have not the chance to survive. Sorry for my bad english.

  • @Damaris1034 I never really knew, but what kind of white people were the rich ones? I know the Irish weren't, I should know! XD Could've been the Dutch. :/

  • @Damaris1034 Excuse some people while they enjoy their lives. The history of the world does not exclusively involve the depiction of the poor or downtrodden. It also includes the history of those lucky enough to become successful.

    What a boring world it would be if all we ever heard about was suffering.

  • @gajcatsb -to be sure, also fashion , is marked by designs of the times, rags are not designs, the films here were recorded to display "Fashion" , news reels like this were a source of visual entertainment , a poor hobo sitting in the Bijou did not have to find out what the poor guy neext to him was wearing - only in a socialist state & communist regime do you find Mao hats and olive drab union suits ,

  • @gajcatsb more like what a depressing world

  • @gajcatsb but sometimes we have to know about suffering in order to remedy it and not make the same mistakes or mistaking one era being better than any other. that's what history is for. to find out the truth, see how it really was and not repeat it but of course no one does.

  • @gajcatsb Except that we mostly see and hear history depicting "the lucky" with the reality for most people either mentioned briefly or as a footnote. It's only recently that the history of the everyman found a niche. The 1920s is now codified as a time of glamour and spreading well-being, when for the majority it was a time of poverty and misery.

    It may be less pretty, but it's the truth. Doesn't stop me enjoying the images and music.

  • @Damaris1034

    Yes all white people were rich and happy and everyone else was poor , miserable and unable to live. Thats short sighted!

    Try being poor at any time in history. Its never great. 

  • @Damaris1034: While I agree that the class and race distinctions during the 1920's were very evident the ability to transcend those distinctions was also evident. The Irish had shed their second class statis from the two decades before and while there still was segregation most blacks in the Northern part of America were rather at liberty to pursue their own lives. Men and Women still dressed, i.e. put on a Tuxedo or good clothing, to go out for the evening.

  • The twenties is kinda coming back. I work at a drycleaners and a girl brought in a drop waisted dress she said she bought at the mall!

  • Amazing! But it's funny because my teacher has her grandmothers yearbook from when she was in high school in the 20s and every single girl had her hair cut into a bob shape. Haha.

  • beautiful x

    Thanks for uploading

  • That's what I call style! As the saying goes... Fashion fades Style remains

  • they had some pretty bad ass shoes back then

    i wish i lived in that time

  • one of my favourite eras. my mothers time, but the other wonderful time was mine 40s

  • beautiful era xxxx

  • "in the arms now, around the neck some day" ...Poor dogs xD

  • wow. amazing leg fashion.

  • memes nos arrière grand-mères étaient très moderne ,j'adore

  • my grandparents were killin it in the 20s

  • I agree. this was a very fashionable age and people (especially women) knew how to have fun. They didn't really lable themselves back then and since everyone didn't have different styles people were less likely to judge others based on looks.

    Plus... i gotta say... the charleston looks like alot of fun ;D

  • Would this have been the same fashion for the beggining of WW1 as well?

  • Golden Age Era !!! I Love the 20's !!!

  • Hey! Dat's a tenor banjo playing! Why, I'd know that sound anywhere, shee? And what a swell show of life back when you could get a shoe shine for a nickle.

  • i LOVE how a lot of the 1920 accessories are coming back on fashion. lots of jewelery inspired from those days and the hats and feathers. even shoes are looking 1920 inspired and the flapper style dresses you can still buy today. i wish i lived in those days, and made movies with Charlie Chaplin. obviously. :)

  • probably because were getting close to the 20's ourselves again :)

  • funny how that works huh..mind blowing to think some of this practically 100 years old !!! some of my fav Chaplin shorts are from 1910's !

  • Oh yeah, I love it all too. :D Nice video!

  • Making me watch these videos makes me wish to live in the past for one reason. EVERYBODY KNEW HOW TO DRESS IN STYLE. I mean today our clothes don't compare to the perfection displayed in this video.

  • Wonderful decade! I adore the clothes, gawd! How beautiful! I love the 20's 30's and 40's. Not so much the 50's. The 60's were good and the 70's ok, fashion wise.

  • I adore too

  • I'm the world's oldest 48 year old. I would estimate that I am about 110 years old based on taste. Let's face it, the 1920s were *better.* Just listen to that music. Just look at the clothes. Just look at those hairdoos. Just look at how satisfied everyone looks.

  • ...i would love to have lived in the gay nineties in new york or chicago...!

  • Women were hotter back then...they had class. Things were made to last. My entire place is furnished with things from the 20's and 30's. Heck I don't even have modern phones. All of them are from the 20's and 30's. My radios are all from the 30's. I'm 36 years old too.

  • ...sounds wonderful....!

  • @skot66 hotter? wtf have u been smoking? they look like ladyboys

  • @fetusjuicefuck Whatever you fantasize about...

  • @skot66 that is awesome! i would love to do that. And it's true about women having class then. Even they way they smoked a cigarette was classy

  • @FireAndIce0o0 We just moved into a 1937 building in Hollywood. It looks like a castle! Original everything! All the way down to the wood flooring ...It's amazing!

  • @skot66 oh that would be amazing!!!! it bet it's gorgeous

  • @skot66 hey you are normal compared to me I were those clothes and I am 19

  • @FlypaperGirl Honey.. I am anything but normal... ;)

  • @skot66 I am 15 and have a lot of these old 20's,30's stuff,I refuse to conform to the monstrosity of a culture we have now in the days,and as an honest opinion from a female,I believe women now in the days are just plastic,silicon,and vinyl they are not natural like women back then,women were highly respected back then that was until the 90's when everything started getting corrupted,and the culture was getting repulsive.

  • @ScandalB52 Awesome! I agree with you 100 percent!

  • @ScandalB52 What are you talking about? You weren't even alive back then. No offense but I disagree with you. Women back then had to fight for their rights for example they weren't allowed to vote till the 1920s. And how are women all plastic, silicon, and vinyl now and days???
