My wife was a fashion model in her early professional years in the late 1950s and early 1960s. I have in her portfolio photos of her wearing clothes from almost all of the famous couturiers in New York City, Paris, Lisbon, and Bonn. To be honest, mostly Paris for obvious reasons. She left the business while young to pursue her artwork. She was an excellent artist and sculptor, but also a fine equestrian. But above all, she was the kindest and most generous person I have known. She is missed, to say the least
Your wife must of been an amazing lady. Did she wear designs by the designer John Cavanagh? I have recently found out after my father passing away that he was my second cousin. Really proud to say that I am a relative of someone with such talent for fashion design.
For those of you who adore this fashion (like me) and you would know that these kinds of clothes are extremely hard to find at a reasonable price without being bad quality. I would recommend getting into sewing, there are hundreds of 50s style patterns available many of which aren’t too hard to sew, they just take time
I'd love to sew, but it's so expensive. I get fabrics from stores going out of business and by fabrics I mean damaged clothes sold for a dollar. It's never enough matching fabric to make a dress. I wish my mom didn't throw away my dolls so I could at least make pretty dresses for THEM. 😭
How long would it take to gain enough skill to make something like a 1950s dress though? Is sewing challenging to learn? I'd be teaching myself, alone. It sounds so cool to sew your own clothing but I feel like it would take me a decade before I'd be able to do so.
@@mice452 O so True. Both black and white, men and women alike where ABSOLUTELY men (handsome), women(BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING,). I say the 40's , 50's and 60's carried real UNIQUE ,elequent stylish fit individual. Nothing like Today .
Pure class! I love this fashion style sooo much even though I was born in the late 70's. I wear the same dresses, shoes, stockings, pearls and I have many hats and gloves. 🗼💞💖💝👍
Maybe you were in that era in a past life? You may not remember. You are largely right about the clothes. Even many working class clothes were far better. Patterns on seams matched, for instance. Seams had enough fabric inside to repair or widen if needed and hems were about an inch or so deep and didn't come undone. Plus 'invisible sewing' for hems etc. A real skill. I bet you look and feel marvellous in such clothes. Be sure to wear up to date clothes too though so that you aren't seen as an 'oddball'. I think many clothes today are oddball but that isn't how most people think, and best not to be too much different from the crown too often, I suppose. People today are so judgemental and intolerant. Also addicted to being offended even though they don't stop to think if they are giving offence. Best wishes 👍
Notice that all the models wore gloves! They well understood that the skin on the hands is very thin and requires protection not only in winter time but almost all year round. We don't have a culture of wearing gloves anymore and that's just not good.
@Lotte you are a buffoon you do No this don't you ? Don't even bother to come at me with your Low rent convo , just look at you Then look at me a real lady ! FACT!
Since I've seen gloves like this, I wanted wear such myself. Being a guy it was always a bit difficult. Not that they would not fit, but, you know, "society". At one point I just purchased one pair of vintage leather gloves off of ebay - and it was incredible! The moment when you have those delicate, thin and light-weight gloves in your hand you feel the quality! They are made of incredibly soft, black kidskin leather and have to cost a fortune in today's money. There is no "pulling over the hands" as the silk lining let me literally slip into them - and every finger fits. When you move your fingers (and wrist) and it feels like you have no weight on your hands while feeling the warmth and protection is one thing, the beautiful look that go well even with men's fashion (they are black leather gloves that fit my smaller, feminine hands) is another great thing. The smell of "vintage" coming from inside them is a great reminder as well. Moving my fingers causes massive wrinkles to build up - you can simply see the softness of the black leather and thus comfort inside them for the wearer. But the biggest "Oh my gosh" moment is when I just gently put my fingers onto the gloves and my fingertips touch this irresistably tender leather... You can't imagine how addicting it is to have leather that "melts" away/along your fingertips, let alone to wear it. The looks I've gotten for my gloves is priceless and the amount of compliments, too. Seeing them being worn in their "proper" decade make me like them even more!
The coats are SUCH GOOD quality. Layered in silk, heavy, amazing materials and cuts. To get the same quality now a jacket is in the $2,000-4,000 level.
My French grand-parents were dressed up like that in the early 50's...They were middle class ( Opéra musician and teacher) and on cities and even town people dressed up, mainly on saturday sunday..the children too....women were often wearing simple jewelry, like broches, and hats were not uncommon....Men were cleanly shaven, with a little " Eau de Cologne", and shining shoes..in winter everybody ( men and women) had gloves, scarfs ....Thousands and thousands of photos are proving these habits....Différent times indeed....now you have people , sometimes american, almost wearing pajamas and comfy old sneakers, in 5 * palaces....i had this very surprising experience, one sunday morning, in the breakfast room of the Ritz palace, Paris😅
Personally French fashion overrated, love the Milan Italy and Italians and their fashion so much more for so many reasons...they live fashion daily not just for show!
Can anyone possibly imagine these gorgeous clothes, .. with trainers ??!!!? - that nearly everyone insists on wearing now !! -- eurrrh ! We've Lost real style forever, I think
More Italians than French. Personally French fashion overrated, love the Milan Italy and Italians and their fashion so much more for so many reasons...they live fashion daily not just for show!
Yes but I fìnd the introduction funny to say they only dressed that way to please men. Women liked to be pretty but not just for admiring glances from men. I think women just feel better when they look better.
The Italians more so due to curviness. The French always expected you to be skinny and small structured to look good. Their style wasn't inclusive and didn't have variety in body types, NOT SIZES necessarily, but body types.
My art project may be focusing on the 1910's French fashion, but goshdarn is this awesome reference for shape language! Good thing my character design takes place in a fictional kingdom, this is sure to help me with some dope creative liberties!
HAVE ANY OF YOU HEARD OF A 'GIRDLE'. MOTHER CALLED IT "A FOUNDATION GARMENT". BUT BY TIME SHE GOT DONE SHOPPING DOWNTOWN ALL DAY, SHE COULDNT WAIT TO TAKE OFF THAT DAMNED "GIRDLE!".
Most French/American women did not dress like this, even in the 1950s. These fashions were for wealthy women to lounge around in. Sure, there were knock-offs for the unwashed to parade around in, but for the most part the clothes were pret-a-porter.
Couture wasn't mass produced. It was all custom made by hand. So yes these clothes would be in the hands of a very small group of people. That didn't and doesn't stop everyone else from admiring and being inspired by the artistry in them though.
@@misst.e.a.187 Yes, but more women made their own clothes including the patterns then. So they could take the ideas and alter to their own tastes. For instance, they could make them calf or knee length for ballroom dancing which a lot of working class men and women liked to do, or for a party or dinner out.

Go to Italy, you will experience this on ad daily bases! Personally French fashion overrated, love the Milan Italy and Italians and their fashion so much more for so many reasons...they live fashion daily not just for show!
they dont make clothes like this anymore...elegance, beauty and just stunning . I just want to throw away my crap outfits and get these outfits but where?
The days before fast fashion became the norm and started selling half a shirt at full price and people just accepted it. Now they're selling see through shirts a full price. It seems impossible to find a dress that covers my knees. I feel like a grown up in child's clothing.
Sorry...i m French and it's not a French accent at all..this is a German officer accent....i u want to spot an odd, and typical , French accent in english u should spot : " Maurice Chevalier", the singer...who was accentuations its accent of course....or, more chic the actor " Louis Boyer", mord subtrle and educated but typical too..
I was so excited to see that dress at the bottom at 10:30! I was expecting some gorgeous violet taffeta playing with the light, maybe even a daring bit of embroidery or beading. My disappointment was immeasurable when I found out it was some kind of awful lilac and jade plaid at 12:08! I can only hope it looked better in person.
That's why we small phone replaced big heavy cameras people today's much brilliant what what scientific discoveries invention they doing is impeccable and commendable 👌🤜
i just wanted to see some pretty outfits and the comments are full of “i was born in the wrong generation” or “what happened” like just wear what you want 😔
Oh god I know, it's all "back when women were feminine" and "todays fashion is so trashy" these people are losers. They should go out and wear vintage clothes and set the example but they instead sit there in sweats and oily hair spouting hate lol.
@@Gnormous vintage clothes are expensive. I try to dress vintage inspired because I'm poor, but I'm still not satisfied. I wish my dresses were longer and covered the arms sometimes. I hate showing my knees. I feel like I'm wearing a child's dress.
Terena Rosa you can pick up sewing! we’re all in quarantine so you can pick up a skill there should be videos on sewing on youtube and you can find a sewing kit in dollar tree or for like 5 dollars and if you have any old clothes you can sew masks to donate to hospitals or blankets for the homeless! sewing is a really helpful skill
Terena Rosa you can find vintage clothing in thrift stores too ragstock.com/vintage-clothing/ these are 80s and 90s themed clothes i think their fairly cheap and www.dresslily.com/vintage-dresses-c-19.html also has cool and cheap dresses
I remember as a child I had a wool coat with detachable cuffs and collar, which would go on when very cold. Poppers were sewn in. I can't remember the colour though but it was long ago.
People are stupid or willingly ignorant. "Everyone was so beautiful and well dressed." You mean in the commercial video? In the richest areas of Paris? If you could afford it, of course. Just like today . Fast fashion has hurt the environment but it gave middle and lower classes an opportunity to Express themselves. Mix it with vintage and other pieces. I have received compliments on my style all my life, and I don't own a single designer piece. You work with what you've got.
I'm no expert on women's fashion, but some of these styles are more typical of the late 40s. If this film dates from the 50s, it's very early in the decade.
I once read that those able to create couture would 'work' fabric for up to 15 hour before cutting in a certain way according to they piece and style. Even fine fabrics could be unpacked without a crease from a suitcase. I wish I knew how to do that but it took years of training.
Et le narrateur qui s'époumone à prendre un accent français.... Le pauvre ! Il s'y prend tellement mal qu'on dirait un accent allemand tellement son accent est guttural !Par contre cette France désuète et tendre est à mille lieux de celle d'aujourd'hui violente et régressive..... Nostalgie.... Nostalgie...
c'est clairement totalement faux, c'est juste une pub de l'époque qui présente une vision totalement idéalisée de la vi e parisienne, et le prix des vêtements j'ose même pas imaginer.
Does someone know the nome of the model called Suzette at 8:50 who dresses in grey and plays music??? She looks exactly like my mother who was born in 1930 in France and we know there was a model that might have been her twin sister
