An elegance that no model today comes even close to.

So unfair. Beautiful models, but I wish someone told them "chin up and relax your shoulders". In the later 50's, models had better posture and they pace themselves better. And a lot of today's models have great posture and pace to 😉

Because today they are all born male. The whole skeletal anatomy and muscle placement is different, as are the tendons.

Glamour . Elegance. Beautiful made & styled clothing. Perfect models & delightful music 🎶

I suppose that the dresses of audiences are even better.😍😍😍

The wife replying. What elegant clothes. The time when models used to know how to walk and present the clothes

What beautiful models and dresses .I love that make-up and manicure . they had something special that nowdays is very rare.

Dignity. A lost art?

I love your vintage shows. It brings back memories. Love all of it.

I think the models represent a particular era when poise and deportment were important ,just as models of the present day represent the times. It illustrates how much everything has changed and not always for the better.

The first coat !!♥️🙏🏻

So glamorous

Treś chic!

Beauty will never wither in the film even after nearly seven dacades have passed since then.

thank you, thank for making videos like these!!!

Remember to watch Part 2 afterwards!

I like the first coat

Note to self: my cousin-in-law Lady Rothermere at 0:55 in gold skirt and dead fox over one shoulder. Must share this with my parents who remember her well. She was 38 years old, nee Ann Charteris, second wife of Esmond Viscount Rothermere. Within a year Esmond had divorced her on the ground of her adultery and expecting a baby with the author Ian Fleming.

That golden dress! Maybe it still exists in a cupboard in a dusty attic somewhere? ;-)

A time when models had names

Any antique shop or brick a brack shop .

Rather than a glimpse of many years past this could well be a view of a utopian and elegant future.

These models looked to the left and right while walking. Today's models look straight ahead without expression. Hmm, just noticed that difference 😊

Considering the strange shaped ugly costumes and often dangerous things that pass as shoes they are forced to wear, I would guess the real emotion is embarrassment and fear of falling. Also, they know that no one in their right mind would wear any of it. They are dressed as freaks. Best to show no emotion and concentrate on not falling. Now the models in this clip were wearing clothing than any woman would be envious of. That plaid coat was amazing. You can tell it is all well made. Perfectly fitted. They knew they looked fantastic.

Yea ok, but we all know the pockets on the first dress aren’t big enough for a cellphone 😒

Elegant and beautiful clothes which mostly only a born woman could carry well. Mind, a few m2f's such as Elizabeth Taylor were the exception.

What do you call the white gown in 1:51?

Dude, after reading your comment I searched on google images for Marie Antoinette pearl necklace and found an image of one that looks EXACTLY the same. You may be right...! Or maybe it is a kind of replica? I wonder who this lady was.

Why do the models all have such bad posture

the cruella de vil posture...i guess that's what was fashionable back in the 50's

I think its because of the foundation garments? All of those models are wearing girdles, as is practically every woman in the audience. I assume its like the "S" shape that edwardian corsets created, pushing the bust forward and the butt back so it was near impossible to " Stand up straight". These seem like a waist cinch happening at the front rather than all the way around thus causing the pulled forward posture. Its amazing how different the walks are between today's models and models in the 50s. Now we have reed thin ladies leaning back and putting one foot directly in front of the other.

Wife replying models were chosen for looks posture how they hold themselves and Elegance. You had to be a certain type of woman to be chosen as a model. When Twiggy came along she changed everything
