A look back at modeling from film footage from the 1920's

Thanks to Dangerous Minds , we have this clip entitled " PARIS FASHIONS OF 1926: DREAMY HAND-TINTED FILM FOOTAGE." It's a charming look back at modeling and fashion from back in the roaring (okay, snoozing) '20s.  However, after viewing what sprang immediately to my mind was: Hand-tinted celluloid still succeeds in capturing a timeless, otherworldly charm for black and white film. It must've been a lot easier to book work when casting requirements read: "Seeking models.  Any models.  Looking for girls bigger than a bread box;  Smaller than a horse.  Thick ankles a plus.  Slouching encouraged.   Try not to smell .  Just show up." Clearly, just oneVictoria Secret Wonder Bra could have helped sales, enormously.
