Chanel might have been the shrewdest entrepreneur but Balenciaga was the true genius.

[bobduvar]

When the women were Ladies...... I miss this era. So chic, so french, so feminine....

Some say that the french fashionis too classic but it is with a "je-ne-sais-quoi" which is so chic, so beautiful.

[lustalker]

classy!

[vivacce65]

Maravilha!

[swissaunty]

The hat is the final touch missing nowdays...

[Innamoramento9]

In fairness, these ladies are quite slim, but it is quite refreshing to see a smidgen of curve to the arms and thighs. Also, unlike the models today, these ladies actually look like women (not like 15-year-old girls doing child labor), and look more like 5'8 or so, not 6'1. Superb....wish I could see this in colour.

[bibiez]

I love the women's look compared to today. I can relate to them way better than to the skinny women employed by the fashion industry :)

[betty4gators]

what a collection! if only women would still dress with this type of grace and class.  now everyone is in the same boring pair of jeans and look like tacky robots. we have nothing on the women of 50's - i would love to wear everything in this 59' collection!

[javajunkie101]

What I wouldn't give for a vintage Chanel. Classic. Elegant. Perfection. These vintage pieces could still hold up today.

[TheAlexisyepez]

o my god the jackets the models are wearing look like one jacket i just saw at the chanel boutiqe. her designs are really timeless.

[terrykat58]

I would say that these models are very "rail thin".

[hotluxembourgreggae]

ces mannequins sont dans un éternel mouvement d'élégance! impossible de comparer aux rudes gestes des mannequins d'aujourd'hui

[scent007]

Plz anyone of the Experts .. i would like to know the name of this piece of music in the background Plzz

[scent007]

what is the music name .. i really want it .. i love chanel

[ematarrita3]

2.10... LOL... woooow! channel is awesome, she´s totally a revolutionizer!

[vernereon]

ta gueule

[beatlejn]

it was more like dancing and the pace is quicker. today's runway pace is slower and has more of a stomp to it.

[JakeDonaghue]

the walking is more natural and passionate....

[MllGabriella]

Coco Chanel restera la meilleur de toute les styliste!!!

[alicemargaux]

la facon de marcher est tellement differente de celle d'aujourd' hui, j'adore ! Marie Helene, est aussi ma préféré. elle est magnifique. Chanel, elle, est splendide, rayonante, géniale !

[rocaar]

The models walk funny :)

[anadeparis]

elles ont une posture étrange en défilant

[Adlmugue]

what a woman! looove it

[Dreamcosplay]

Perfection, beauté et simplicité. Un éternel modèle...

[shnokies]

[emeliejolie87]

J'adoooore la première robe de mousseline!!!

[seansantaclarita]

look at the difference between models then and now... elegant! maganda!

[Kelz06081984]

The models are so classy, elegant, delicate, BEAUTIFUL & not rail thin!

[Karinaokarina]

This piece of footage is just amazing! It's so interesting to look back and see all these beautiful creations.

[rose6645]

Beautiful. May Coco Chanel rest in peace and her fashion designs continue forever and never be forgotten.

[ohreally2667]

Remove the gloves and hats from some of these outfits and they would sell like hotcakes today--apparently women have decided they'd like to dress like grownups again . . .

[panduro91]

jackline kennedy also served as an influnce on american women.

she made chanel attire popular at home.

[riverland73]

they really don't make clothes like that any more. the close they make today are trashy..nothing but trash. and the they got the nerve to try to sell it to you for an arm and a leg fuweeey!

[ajnatheiconoclast]

A sense of elegance that is lost today in the fashion industry. Chanel kicks ass...period.

[TricseaWasNotHere]

I lOVE "CC" XD

[manolito171]

i love coco chanel

[iheartmichelangelo]

ahhh :)!!!

[bubleswings]

What can be said of the world's greatest fashion designer? I often wonder what Chanel would think of what Karl Lagerfeld has done with her name and his designs? There was only one Chanel and it was when she alive and the designer of her line. Karl Lagerfeld is a genius but he can never be compared to Coco Chanel. His designs for the most part are costumes for the runway. Lagerfeld will never capture the true essence of Coco Chanel.

[virulito]

I don´t agree with you. Chanel designed for an age, Lagerfeld got to translate Chaner for today, a very different age.

[chanel0102]

true! like in the spring/summer 2007 collection he messed around with tweed and made a blazer looking suit that looked awesome for a young person! CHANEL and Lagerfeld are both geniuses of their own time and i think that they are both excellent!

[StephanAOTTO1]

50 years later, and this STILL LOOKS FRESH!!!

That's TRUE GENIUS right there!

[FASHIONSFLYEST]

lmao at sell ur mother!

[R0YALLIONESS]

I would sell my mother for those dresses

[ohreally2667]

I think Chanel only takes cash . . .

[R0YALLIONESS]

Right. I'd sell my mother, get the cash and buy the dresses lol

[dabrazilianbitch]

lmfaoooo

[pamperedgurl]

the prices of those exact dresses today would probably be one penny short of priceless...

[skydda]

Impresionante,desde luego se nota que era una mujer con mucho caracter.Un gran video.

[somuchfabric]

Wonderful! I've seen a few of these garments in museum exhibits or in books, and it's nice to see them on a real person.

[vinteriors]

Yes, on a real person it much better. It is important to see the fabric move.

[stabilo57]

<3 madmoiselle chanel<3

[AlethiaBrightside]

Amazing.....pure simple gorgeus original...wow!....is the begining of everything that I love......I LOVE CHANEL!!!

[PikemannUrge]

I loved this, thank you!

I must say that this kind of music, which would be a great accompaniment to a nice martini or two, is somewhat more pleasing than the grating, over-done, fast-paced music that sometimes goes with fashion shows these days.

I'm all for variety but sometimes too much is too much.

[ILIUSCOV]

Really nice to see classic Chanel, the models walk was so staged ack then, however at 3.23 the model does a cheeky second turn on the catwalk, I think that must of been a start of a trend for models to be abit more adventurous on the catwalk heheh...however a beautiful piece of footage

[madelein5]

wooooo

[littlefrancy91]

so chic!

[bonitaCa]

Heheh great to see the old old Chanel! but look this models and then our days models so mutch different. Old model wasn´t so sick skinny like now!!

[iamyourteddybear]

yeah, they were pleasantly slim.
