- Hello, this is DGSpitzer!
I used a series of AI to restore a video from 1929, 90 years ago!
It's a Chinese fashion show that introduced the latest trending in Shanghai back then. It's filmed on March 4th, 1929.
Miss Sze steps through ornamental gate and explains modern Chinese fashions in English. "The modern Chinese girl combines the fashions of the East and the West." She models a hand-painted evening dress. Other models show different dresses.
Three Chinese women model different hairstyles. Miss Sze explains in English while Mrs. Kum and Mrs. Fan speak in Chinese.
Hope you enjoy it!
The original footage is provided by University of South Carolina's Moving Image Research Collections, thanks to MIRC for their support!
Using DeepRemaster, DAIN, DeOldify, and Topaz for restoration.
Thanks to CCTV for their event of traditional Chinese culture.

I love this so much. The fashion history is great, yes, but seeing people being people way back then is so important.
That’s vague
I understand. Yes it reminds us that people are people no matter the time period.

I was thrown off guard when they spoke in English.
Good accent isn't it .

I was thrown off by the Ugly font the video creator chose
Well they had schools back in 1929...

The amazing thing is how wearable this stuff is even to this day. I could totally see these garments worn during a fancy gala in any country. I guess it's true that style never goes out of style, no matter where it comes from!

@@xingxung9992 Han Chinese Culture has nothing to do with Manchu Dinasty Culture imposed on the Han ...
There seems to be a clear line between the 1920s and what came before. If someone wore clothes from the 1920s out and about today, nobody would pay too much attention, but someone in clothes from any earlier era would look like they were dressing up, or on their way to a fancy dress party.
2020s fashion would probably be a big mix of fashion in the past decades.
@@-untcuchable.mp4268 to be honest, it's been that way for about the past decade. The only difference now is 2000s fashion has come back and will be front and center throughout this decade.
I love their hairstyle. I also love the Chinese cloth with Western elements in it, it’s so classy and elegant. I wish I could travel back to 1929’s Shanghai, thanks for uploading!
No you don't
@@xingxung9992 stupid
Snuggly Lola Oh no-
Well, considering ww2 was just around the corner, you’d probably not hahah
Erik uh oh...
All of those girls are so cute. They will be remembered forever and always young thanks to this film. The hostess really had everything together for her lovely video. With music too! Just so well done. I can't get over it.
I love how they seem to be having a good time. hearing her laugh and having a good time at the end somehow brings peace to me. lighthearted, fun, this is such a gem. thank you.
It looks like it all just happened yesterday...
Yeah thought it was from the Sixties You know
@A. L what did it says?
@@cazamilfs8945 facts
True.
What amazed me is that these Chinese girls spoke English better than I do. Even back then when not everyone has access to education. I couldn't learn English unless I listen to audio.
well..most of this girl u see there is either come from noble family, or extreme rich, or some high rank officer in previous Qing dynasty(so the still have vast connection)..
a lot of them send their child to europe to study etc..
Fake Mordern Video...From original...Why they Afraid and ashamed of their own Culture... ua-cam.com/video/7jfceEnkTfk/v-deo.html
The girls are probably in the upper class at that time.
yes China then sensibly have Western values before the virus of communism brought it low. The well educated would often have education abroad or with a governess. In 1921 my grandmother left the UK for India for example so a family there who had a little child could learn English.
@@xingxung9992 dude. Go home. Your country doesn’t have anything recorded in 1929 don’t be sad and blame us.
At the far left is the eighth female name of Tang Shaoyi, the first prime minister of the Beiyang government, Gan Tang Baomei (1902~1941) (after divorce, remarriage and surname change), this is the first large-scale fashion show in Chinese history . The one on the far right is Fan Xiaobaolian (1909~1984), the wife of the famous Shanghai architect Mr. Fan Wenzhao, who was a celebrity in the Shanghai social circle during the Republic of China. The English-speaking narrator in the middle is Wen Shihuizhen (1906~2004), the wife of Sister Song's cousin. Her husband is Mr. Wen Yuqing, a top expert in China's radio communication technology.
Interesting facts, nice to know! Some were joking that this looked like a made for UA-cam video shoot, with the fashion, bloopers and all. Well, judging by those dates, the lady narrating the show almost made it to the birth of the UA-cam era...
amazing to know the narrator lived such a long life.
I'm reminded of my wife's grandmother who died some years back at age 105. She was from Fujian and lived through all the 20th century changes in China. She wore her traditional clothes of silk with the high collar and long hair in a bun every day up to her passing.
❤❤❤❤
lovely to see this video transcends the period. When you see B&W colorized, you become easily connected. I rarely see vintage footages that show people just being people and happy doing informative videos. Feels like this just happened yesterday.
I like how even they show the bloopers. Guess now we know historical bloopers XD
I like that part too!!!!
Might even be the first bloopers ever recorded.
The woman presenting the show, say in 2:05 that the dress is worn at "thé dansant" in french, that mean tea party.
Thank you so much!!! I'll edit the sub to add this in.
Merci!
English may have substituted French as LINGUA FRANCA of the world, but it will NEVER replace its glamour ...
The lady who spoke English was apparently the daughter of Republic of China's ambassador (When China had a western style democracy 1911-1949) to France. She most likely have spent times in France. I would not be surprised if she was fluent in French as well.
Isn`t it tea dance in english? In germany we call it Tanztee.
kid cat I don't think anyone would ever say 'tea dance'.
I didn't want it to end. Absolutely mesmerizing! I find it amazing how you can see shades in the skin and color in the shadows. Colored, they don't seem so foreign and strange. They seem so relatable now! Even their facial expressions. How the presenter looked to her friends with that knowing and jesting grin (as a Filipino, I can relate to this).
i love it when people accept new culture without forgetting their original culture.
Yes, so sad people everywere had lost their culture :(
it's the perfect way. We must accept the new, but never forget who we are
My culture practically wore nothing 😑😑
What a delight, and a precious piece of history. The hostess has charisma for days. I wish I could read her biography.
Oh you can! she is the daughter of Republic of China's ambassador when China had a western style democracy 1911-1949
@@jumjum114 oh my gosh!! You've absolutely made my day. I looked her up, and if I'm correct, she is Mai-Mai Sze (Yuen Tsung Sze, 1909-1992); she went on to live an incredibly fascinating life -- she performed on Broadway, was featured in Vogue, and most notably, became a renowned painter and writer of fiction and non-fiction. Also of note is that she had a lifelong love of the same gender, though they were very quiet about it (which of course is understandable, given the historical context). She also wrote an autobiography -- even better than a biography!
Even if I have the wrong person, I've stumbled across the story of an extraordinary woman, and I love when this sort of thing happens. Thank you for your reply.
@@parkerbill do you know about 2 girls in red and gold?
@@parkerbill You are so awesome! Thank you for posting your findings! Another comment listed her with another name which led me nowhere, but you're right that regardless of whether Mai-Mai/Yuen Tsung Sze is the right match, reading about her life was really inspiring.
Chinese Fashion Vloggers, produced by Fox Movies back in 1929. Clearly, this documentary was produced for American audiences.
Obviously, the purpose of the video was to show US citizens how to dress when visiting China, she says that at the beggining xd
unfortunately.
Yeah, unfortunately, I wanted to hear and see their perspective not what they think others will like to see about them.
What a great restoration. I love the outtakes - especially the one at 7:00, where someone, who looks to be a cook, opens the door to the courtyard.

The young lady commenting on the fashions is very gracious and knowledgeable. Very nice!!
Girl speaking English, Mandarin, Cantonese... Had to be super rich
Not likely. The church schools taught English. But must be middle classes to have tailor clothing.
I thought she had a French accent. I'm wondering if she spent a lot of time in France.
Long time ago.. only rich children can afford studying abroad and of english language
@@hyena280 Daughter of Republic of China's Ambassador to France. So most likely. (BTW, China back then had nothing to do with today's Communist China. It is a very different country back then).
not necessary
shanghai was really modern in the 1930s.
My grandma was homeschooled during the war between China and Japan. She speaks fluent shanghaiese, mandarin, english, some japanese and cantonese
没想到最后还能看到花絮，接近一百年前的花絮。光这个年代感就无比重要了。
Interesting video. A Chinese fashion show nearly a century ago.

Xing Xung This video presents the rich and noble, not ordinary poor people......
@@qingyipeng3122 I realize that is then showed the wealthy, but fortunately, China is now rising and affording far more people opportunity. I might add that dispite the anti-China comments by Trump, most people in America admire and respect China and the Chinese people. My wife of 20 years is Chinese. Thank you for your comment.
@@xingxung9992 don’t be sad your poor country was a colony of Japan or Europe and nothing fancy recorded 🤣.
3:57 - the girl on the left was Tang Baomei, daughter of Tang shaoyi, former Prime Minister of Republic of China.
Woah thanks for the information
👍
She can't be Tang Baomei if the video was shot in 1929 b/c Tang was dead in the Spanish Flu in 1918. She could be other daughters of Tang Shaoyi, but idk.
Allen Xia That’s incorrect. You must have mixed her up with someone else. She was alive when her father was assassinated in 1938.
Penguin do you know if she’s Lora or May Tang?
5:08 she was speaking in Cantonese Shiqi dialect 石岐话from ZhongShan city
you are absolutely right...which makes me doubt if this was shot in Shanghai...I realize the other lady was speaking in Mandarin (kind of)...but the hostess also looked and sounded like Cantonese...could this be done in Hong Kong, Macau or even Canton?
I was surprised at the beginning, but second thought those Zhongshan people were following Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his KMT to north for revolution And Settle down in Shang Hai city which was the Financial center of Republic of China. Then make sense to me that why there were some Zhongshan people lived in Shanghai with their dialects while Mandarin Chinese was not well educated all over China yet.
Jun Zhao yes During the civil war and cultural revolution , many older generation Chinese were moved to HK Macau and oversea. They were all speak different dialects. And they are became grand parents or young citizens’ parents now
@@junzhao1396 ummm. Does it really matter where it was filmed?? They CAN travel, you know...
civilized part of china people in the republic of china era; they are gentle, polite and elegant. but, after some times, people learnt the fight down spirit and they were no longer gentle, polite and elegant any more. sad part of china history? tribe history?
感谢博主的努力，我几乎看了你所有的修复视频，让我了解到了近百年前我的国人们的生活状态，活灵活现，令人动容。

Scenes from 91 years ago captured in a video. This is gold. Thanks for the upload. 😊
Doesn't even look 91 years old looks more like the early 70s
@@EJayyDreadHead those threes girls passed on 1941 1984 2004. Yeah stop. This is real. 1970s China was communist it was horrible not like this
This is so beautiful. I love seeing this about my culture. Thank you for uploading 💗
These dresses are so beautiful!!!! I wish beautiful quality clothes were affordable and available for everyone and that we still paid attention to our clothes and took better care of them.
We need more of these kind of remake videos, completely priceless. Thank you.
This is so wonderful to watch. As a lover of fashion, an admirer of different cultures and a person who enjoys history in general this really made my day. Wow.
Thanks for everyone who made this possible.
Amazing to think is was so long ago!
I love the way people spoke back then. No matter what language they spoke, they always sounded super refined and fancy.
Good job :)
Wow Denis! Thank you!!! Love your works too!
@@dgspitzer4771 Amazing restoration/colorization!!! The most pretty was the girl that talks the most. Hope all of them had have a great life! I'm very satisfied, coloring my own BW pictures on some pages and apps that colorize on internet and smartphone, but still wating for something to do this on a whole movie, that is just a lot of pictures merged (with audio)
🙂
Incredible. And the bloopers really give you a sense of the people. Just delightful watching these videos.
I enjoyed the Behind the scenes. It’s great to see the sense of humour and human playfulness.
Why am I so obsessed with these videos 😳
Thank you so much for continuing your work, it truly is touching. I'm so glad you are covering more areas and time, I can't wait to show this to my relatives who are in Shanghai 😌
They are all so beautiful and elegant! Fashion hasn’t really changed! 好美呀！感觉这些裙子现在也是很不错很流行的！
Love the narrator's specific references, such as to the empire dress style!
They looked so classic, elegant, and natural!
these women are really beautiful! greeting from Brazil!

@@xingxung9992 If you have evidence of this viedo being fake, you could show your evidence
can't believe i understood the mandarin spoken by people born during the qing dynasty!
You would understand it back to the song dynasty, as the modern chinese language has it's roots from there, but anything before that, not so much.
The Qing Dynasty really wasn't that long ago.
You do know there are still some people alive who were born in the Qing dynasty 😂

Oh my goodness, this film is so historical and priceless.

One speaks Mandarin, the other speaks Cantonese I got them both
LOL🌞🤣🌞
This is exceptional. Thank you for restoring it. I watch a lot of historic fashion videos and I find it very impressive that this video is a "talkie", Most of the equivalent fashion show videos from Europe and America from the same time period that I have seen were only dubbed over with narration.
thank you for uploading such a beautiful piece of short film, it shows how great China was in this era, it really touched my heart !
I love this, the bloopers were a fantastic addition.
7:44 Look at those guys, it probably was so damn cold, and those ladies dressing summer clothes...
You can literally see the their breath too!
yall their skin is turning grey
Why no one talks about the bloopers/takes? It shows how natural and sweet they are, especially the presenter.
This is extraordinary! Thanks for this amazing upload.
I love your content. Thank you for the hard work. Please keep them coming!

90 years ago British accent was the trend. Now Americans dominated the accents.
Mandarin will be a trend soon
@@ceecmb No it is too complicated
@@ceecmb Not only it's too complicated, but they would need freedom of speech first, in order to allow Chinese people to create something appealing to the rest of the world (movies, music, etc).
@@AC-he8ln LOL that is a good point, I've never thought about it that way.
American accent might be more widely spoken but has never been and will never be the trend

Videos like this are a true treasure and an important documentation of Chinese history.
Every now than you'll see those beautuful vintage dresses in thrift store's but more10 ,20yrs ago thats their culture.
OMG the complete white fox skin just was draped over her shoulders
Yeah, that was pretty gross... But what can you say, this was well before any notion of animal rights, and fur was worn just as casually in America and Europe.

I love those vintage Chinese fashions. Thanks for sharing this video for our enjoyment ! I've been watching some Chinese period dramas set in the early 20th century but the costume choices tend to go too exclusively Western, which is a shame, it loses a lot of the charm.
I feel like I could never pull this off with my figure. They look so elegant and refined.
Fashion vlogger in the 1920s
So beautiful....and I LOVED visiting Shanghai in 2018.
2:44 It's the "Manton de Manila"! These Fichu-like shawls were originally produced in southern China, are then shipped to the Philippines (in Manila), where they would be sent to Spain through the Manila-Mexico Galleon trade! These were specially customed for the Spanish, as the Chinese don't really wear garments like these. Orientalism surely took over Europe at that time..
Fantastic restoration! China is more modern than we can ever imagine to be.
From Singapore.
I like how they arent PERFECT
This was very interesting to watch. I can't believe this was 90 years ago!!
