I found this charming ... it's asthough the models are inviting you to look at the clothing ... not DEMANDING that you look at THEM. Maybe my generation gap is showing, but I find their demeanor sweet, not corny.

interesting how they used full bodies models back then :)

It was that Coco Chanel who started the trend of using lanky American girls for her shows.

Imagine how many of our time suffer and even dye of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia etc. Isabelle Caro, Ana Carolina, Elina and Luisel Ramos are just few famous ones among them. I had been a victim of this nasty trend too till I opened my eyes.

I love that lace sock 0:52~~~

I simply love the fashion during this time period. I have to point out in 0:58 the fur this model is wearing. It looks like a full-bodied fox with head, legs, and tail. I've seen lots for furs, but not worn like this.

Beautiful! It would be soooo much better if you had some different music more suited for it. Scott Joplin maybe? I have to agree, the music is the only drawback to this video.

I am also amazed that there is footage of a fashion show from this time period. thanks for sharing though.

[CathyRas65]

true, I still find it amazing that they even have film footage from a fashion show during this time period.

Most of it appears black in the footage but black was also popular for many reasons long ago... dyes were still primitive and expensive, Black hides stains (especially under arm stains from before deoderant was an option) and has always been thought a demure, elegant and flattering color in fashion.
