We love the spontaneity of the fashion show. It could only happen in Paris. Some of the dress styles reflect the obsession by Parisian designers with the space age and have dated. Our favorite outfit in fact is the dress worn by the proprietress of a nearby clothes shop 0:27. She looks effortlessly chic.

Realizing that the 85+ year old woman walking by was born in the around the 1880s. Imagine all the changes she saw in her lifetime. Changes in technology, science, and fashion. We were born in hospitals and brought home in automobiles. Can’t even imagine her life.
Ya, and what she might have been thinking, walking by the models in their colorful outfits (full orange!), and she's in her sensible black! 😂
truthseeker7564, my grandmother was born around 1898. She had my mum very late. My mum had me somewhat late. So spent early years with someone who recollected things that are unimaginable today. Funny memories...remember a couple of odd times whilst I was a teenager I told off ppl in their 50s for their "outrageous " behavior. 🤣
@@megan2176 I only know from my grandmother born in the 1920s who would encourage us to dress in beautiful colors. She was a Christian woman born in a Muslim country who moved to the US in her 60s. She grew up in a very different world than I did and a different part of the world. She dressed very conservative sometimes in black and never in her life covered her head. She would tell us to be vibrant and dress vibrant. She mainly wore a house dress with flowers when cleaning and cooking but wore black to church and when we went out. She was old fashioned but very open minded for us. I dressed in black only as a teen and she’d say you’re young enjoy your youth open yourself up to different ways of dress.
sad ths she couldn’t experience the beauty of diversity in today's paris )-:
She walked by without a flinch. Seemed she could of cared less…Lol…
I was 16 in 1966. That was a wonderful time for fabrics, so colorful and wild. We could make simple shift dresses with very little fabric, at a time when sewing clothes was actually cheaper than buying them. But few people wore high fashion even in San Francisco, where I lived. 💖
I love these, the past has never seemed so real. I have a hard time picturing real people in these settings just imagining or hearing about it
Or young people from back then automatically look old, because our brain tends to equate historical dress with age...
I am French and Parisian it would seem by observing although the film was shot in Monparnasse district of the fifteenth arrondissement with around the cafes/restaurant "l'Apollinaire" " La Rotonde" "La Coupole" the rendezvous has all eras of all artists especially of all the great painters of the world , Montparnasse was during the Roaring Twenties (1920-1930) the center of cultural life, with Picasso, Matisse and Modigliani etc.
Montparnasse became famous in the 1920s, called the Roaring Twenties, and the 1930s as the heart of intellectual and artistic life in Paris. From 1910 to the beginning of World War II, Parisian artistic circles migrated to Montparnasse as an alternative to the Montmartre district, which had been the intellectual breeding ground of the previous generation of artists. The Paris of Zola, Manet, France, Degas, Fauré, etc., a group which had met more on the basis of affinity of status than real artistic tastes, indulging in the refinements of dandyism, was at the opposite end of the economic spectrum, social and political of the emigrated artists who lived in Montparnasse. This grandmother dressed in black who crosses the field of the camera without emotion and who seems to have been born around 1880 certainly lived in this neighborhood which makes her a woman who knew in this neighborhood more celebrities than all the commentators of this little film . Translated text from French to English by Google translation. Once again congratulations to Glamourdaze.
Funny how all them clothes are so timeless that even today they would look so much better than our high street
Feminine and classy, yet fun and versatile clothes. Isn't 1960s fashion just the best?
nop
@@midnight19488 Well, you might prefer another fashion decade, but for me, 1960s (and early 1970s) fashion is unmatched. It was revolutionary and liberating, but it still had that charm and uniqueness that most of today's clothes, which make everyone look the same and seem overly casual, dull and meant for sportspeople, lack.
Definitely one of the best fashions.
The best
No, it's 40s fashion for me. Then 50s
A calm and peaceful France. I am glad that I had the chance to live Paris in the 1990s. It was far from perfect, but it was the very last gasp of a livable Paris...
Pour avoir vécu la même période, entièrement d’accord avec vous, les derniers moments...
same with London
What would you say is different about it now, compared to the nineties?
@@Blue_Sonnet
oh poor thing
@@Blue_Sonnet
Well, the rampant looting by non-natives, is one glaring difference. Another would be the string of mattresses and piles of trash along the avenues. Paris is becoming what she has allowed to be imported.
Photographer shooting all this action with a Hasselblad @ 1:01- - - very cool and professional!
Goodness this is beautiful! The 60s I was born then ❤ the music in the background even the sweet elderly lady walking by this is a really beautiful video thank you!! 😃👍❤❤❤❤❤ xxxx
I think that the 60's were the best decade for women's fashion
And a lot of it is still wearable today plus it was better made.
I disagree. i love 30s, 40s, some 70's and 80s.I dislike the cheesy
I think a lot of 1960s clothing was made of bad quality fabrics. The high end fashions were the exception.The good thing about them was the fact that they paved the way for freedom in clothing choices.The hippie clothing was comfortable, colorful, ethnic.
I liked 60s fashions much more than the 70s and 80s. The 90s were great for fashion and life :)
@@joelpacheco7360 A lot of 90's fashion was 60's inspired actually!
The year I was born 🙌 thanks for sharing ❤
Amazing how much the military influences and continues to influence fashion.
Elegance never ma dies
'ma'?
How pleasant to see no mobile phones. People actually having conversations!
Seems like people were looking healthier and more alive
Probably 90 % of them smoked. They wouldn't be looking very healthy in a few years.
The old lady in all black is the hippest.
Love that orange coat and pants along with the military looking cap.
The haute couture, the film cameras! 😊 The models now in their eighties. 😞
It’s the regular people on the street that look the chicest. ❤
The orange hat with the strap in similar to ones I have seen in Bond Movies and elsewhere but don't remember anyone wearing that type of headgear back in the sixties.Wide headbands and straight hair with bangs were all over as well as the mini with belts.I was a teenager back then
Wow, so fabulous
I'm enjoying this channel for as long as possible before these types of videos are all Ai generated.
A film that I can believe it's Not been colorized or sound added
And that wacky orange hat, glad that didn't catch on.
Никто не пялится в телефоны. Такой покой кругом.
И все худенькие такие…. Красивые люди
I'd love to see the photographs
Looks nearly identical to today
the old lady stole the show !
People were so elegant and stylish then.
Ahh, when France was still civilised. I was 'made' in France that summer and then was born in Germany the next year.😁
Nearing 1968 - "the fire last time"

All I can think of is Patsy Stone saying "Thursday"
😍😍😍😍😍😍
👌🔥
The young teen captured there would be close to my dads age now (72)....
❤🍃💐
I sincerely curious how did you get this channel to monetize? Even with the nice AI restoration, isn't the content considered "re-used" content?
This can only make you sad when you know how France became
The Beatles Era
Les mannequins ont normalement l’âge de la vieille dame aujourd’hui 😊
So that's what people were wearing the year I was born.. 👍👍
Bonjour
La France d’avant
Dangerous and risque pose at 00:09. Girls would rip that audacious chin strap right off at 0:55.
a fragment in the history of mankind, when there was real freedom for a person, independent of far-fetched rules and dogmas .... (well, or so it seemed)
I agree. And no pesky smartphones. Oh man, now I'm just sad.
I'm not too sure about the "real freedom" bit, even in the sixties it was pretty rough being female, non-cis or of BAME descent...
It's lovely looking back on the past but we must remember the bad as well as the good!
@@Blue_Sonnet You know what, I can see your point. But now the pendency is completely on the other side, and we are rushing into less freedom and being able to travel and feed ourselves. Be honest, besides how restrictive the gender roles used to be, it sure was a more beautiful world.
@@Blue_SonnetAh, you mean when men were men, and women were women and they didn’t think twice about it. Oh, the horror 🙄
Looks more like 70s
Let's hope we never return to chin straps attached to hats. I'm so glad I missed that!
Merciful heavens! Clothes in the 60s were HIDEOUS! 🤯

Nothing to glamourdaze, but just the original clip. Hated the way they looked at the innocent old lady walking past ...pathetic society at the time.
Many of the looks would still be classic looks, but oh, not the orange pants suit with the chin-strap hat. Burn that immediately.
As usual with haute-couture, it's meant to draw attention rather than be worn 😅
