That hairstyle would have been a later Diana style. In 83 Di’s hair was still like a little bit longer version of the Dorothy Hamill style. But I also kinda got a Diana vibe. (Ironically Di would’ve been just about to get pregnant with Harry around that same time.) Ivana’s hair actually reminded me of how Gloria Loring looked back then! (She played Liz Chandler on Days Of Our Lives, and was married to Alan Thicke)

It was a Saturday morning kind of show (on PBS I believe)-that I as a young woman loved to watch and see the final results as he finished a house-and dream!! There was no interior decorating, but it didn’t matter! And then he would take you on tours of beautiful places such as the Trump tower!!! Just an excellent host and he knew so much on everything having to do with home!!❤️❤️❤️I remember Ivana here; I thought she was such a gracious hostess!!!xxxxxxx

Of course it looks dated. It’s of its time. So should we just gut the place and repaint everything stark white with glass and black barnhouse features like all interior designers do now? That will turn dated in 20 years. I love New York, I grew up here, and the amazing thing is that so many buildings are time capsules of the different decades of the modern urban age. You can walk into the Art Deco 20s, the mod 60’s, the gaudy 80’s, etc, all in one day. The decor of Trump Tower reminds me of my grandma’s tiny little house on Long Island that I have so many memories in. It gives me a warm and nostalgic feeling.

Trump Tower has always felt like a dated shopping mall to me. It launched in the 80s with a 70s aesthetic. The rooms themselves (including Trump’s penthouse) have standard 8ft ceilings…it’s like the whole thing is a standard apartment that’s trying very hard to be opulent. Doesnt matter how many mirrors, gold windows, or faux columns are added to the rooms.
You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. For 1983 that place was cosmic future looking. The ceilings are very high in that building and apartments.
@@patricktomaszewski2063 I’m not talking about the lobby (which is very grand and decadent), I’m talking about the apartments themselves. If you watch the video, you can see for yourself at 03:15. Those are standard 8ft ceilings. Trump’s penthouse is the same thing except it’s the whole top floor and covered in gold mirrors.
They had a height limit on the tower so had to sacrifice ceiling heights for more floors, meaning revenue. The 12'+ ceilings of today weren't yet en vogue
Considering that times have changed, we understand that the 1983 "model apartment" looks dated today. Ivana did an excellent job then. Of course all owners must have decorated their apartments to their own taste.

What a flashback. I lived & worked near Bayonne & the surrounding area in the 80's & design was all about smooth glossy modern lacquered furniture. It was everywhere & I wasn't a fan. But will say that the warmth & glow of Trump Towers atrium lobby is very beautiful. (Also worked for Bonwit Teller - where $7.99-$11.99 imported clothing items sold for $59-$120, or more, at their retail stores. Bonwit's outrageous mark-ups were a life-lesson in the wisdom of thrift.)
@Jacko Sargs I just like history and real estate. If you really like this type of interior, let me know, I can get you a deal. Fabric covered walls, pink marble, and dated kitchens all included. Like I said, homes like this goes for a deep discount, and they are out there.
The reason this video was made in the first place was that the apartments were too expensive during the height of the brutal recession. The project started in the late 70s when the economy was growing at 4-5%. Compare that to the 1% rates of the last 20 years. Then the oil embargo and severe recession nearly bankrupted every major developer. Which is why Trump was pushing for Federal money towards the end of the video. Villa is shown an unfinished apartment in this visit and when he's told the asking price is one million he can't believe it doesn't come with a finished kitchen. Inflation was rampant in these days so Paul Volcker Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank raised interest rates drastically which broke inflation but was a disaster for builders like Trump. He would later file 6 bankruptcies 9 years after this and yet another in 2009. He's currently behind in his loans with the German bank who is the only one who will provide him with major credit facilities.
@@mommadpoppad9455 gas was cheap all over the world during the world wide covid shutdown. Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate were at $1 per barrel. Of course refined gasoline is going to be under $2 per gallon. Once everyone got back to work around the world at literally the same time crude oil shot up to $120 per barrel which in theory should have resulted in $7 gasoline at a minimum. But we're still in the $4-5 range. Also when Trunp was in office we were barely adding 80k to 100k jobs to the economy per month which is horrible. In the 13 months that oil and gasoline prices have nearly tripled guess how many more jobs we're creating per month now? Between 400k and 600k every month. That hasn't happened for an entire year since 1996. The dollar is now stronger than all currencies. Home owners have seen the highest net worth of their lifetime. Unemployment claims and unemployment are at 40 year low. Nobody is buying gold. Prices are up because the economy is on overdrive.
@@porscheoscar think back….gas was cheap Before the Plandemic. You’ve swallowed the treasonous medias/politicians lies and propaganda hook, line and stinker. Find real factual news sources.
All planned on purpose by the Fed to steal everybody's hard work, property and careers. It started out with cutting off oil supply then the stock market crash and eventually the real estate market in the 80's. It caused many real estate investors brokers and builders to go down. The polititians pushed for tax changes in commercial property which resulted in many bankruptcies They are doing it now again on purpose. Donald knows and older people remember the propaganda that went with the BS. We have our own energy then and could of used it then and now!
Back around 2000-01 Bob Villa came to the shop I worked at. He opened the door and was carrying something with the winds working against him. An employee helped hold the door open and another employee said to her "Don't you know who that is"? "That's Bob Vila"! We made a product at the time that was sold through Home Deport Lowes and other well known home centers. I remember seeing him and saying "That guy looks like Bob Vila".
@Bravo Luca In the past maybe, but now have you seen that stupid slim tower that bulges all over the place and looks like it might go over in a stiff breeze?
It was very impressive at the time but it now looks so sad and dated. I don’t know how it could even be seen as a timeless design in the future. It all feels like surface decoration to create the feel of expensive luxury versus great design.
I’m from the Czech Republic. The style is very tacky. More Russian than Czech. Unfortunately I do believe she had problems with alcohol, isolation, loneliness and in general not really coping with getting old. That applies to lots of people for whom looks were a huge part of their business. And she was a socialite but in recent years irrelevant. But will be missed. I liked here. Btw her mother is still alive at 96.
@@unknownunknowns it depends on the environment and the zeitgeist, in the past when you reached a certain age, you were expected to dress and behave in a certain way, also with the fashions from modern perceptions, they appear more mature. For instance, look at Blanche on the Golden Girls, she was 50 but she appeared older from a modern perspective because today a 50 year old in the public eye is someone like Jennifer Lopez, modern hairstyles and more youthful trends contribute to someone looking younger.

The polititians pushed for tax changes in commercial property which resulted in many bankruptcies They are doing it now again on purpose. Donald knows and older people remember the propaganda that went with the BS. We have our own energy then and could of used it then and now!
Wow. Lacquer, lacquer and more lacquer anyone. Oh and heavy metal. That was the time
Tacky even back then
And all the mirrorsyuck
Little did Bob knew that Trump will be a POTUS one day 👌🏼👌🏼
"Little did Bob know"

Tremendous contribution to the City of New York and what was their " thank you.?"
Tacky 80s style building 😂😂
Make This Old House Great Again!!!
God forbid....Trump only knows how to destroy things....with Trump...NOTHING will be great again
Love her hair like that.
Oh God, the 80s were so tacky and such a beautiful and glamorous way I love it. It’s so artistic.
So beautiful Tower at that age.
Back around 2000-01 Bob Villa came to the shop I worked at. He opened the door and was carrying something with the winds working against him. An employee helped hold the door open and another employee said to her "Don't you know who that is"? "That's Bob Vila"! We made a product at the time that was sold through Home Deport Lowes and other well known home centers. I remember seeing him and saying "That guy looks like Bob Vila".
Its a great great tower, really fantastic, one of a kind, cant be beaten, ask anyone!!
@Bravo Luca In the past maybe, but now have you seen that stupid slim tower that bulges all over the place and looks like it might go over in a stiff breeze?
yuge!
I 've been it is breathtaking.🕊🇺🇲💕
Very sophisticated TV and audio system, indeed 😆
7:31 that carl springer table is easily worth ten grand in 2020
If it’s real...
Handy if you want to change the light bulb..
What a great first lady she would have been!
Blows my mind to think of where i was, what i was doing in..1983 lol. So very far removed from this. Ivana so lovely ...RIP Ivana
It was very impressive at the time but it now looks so sad and dated. I don’t know how it could even be seen as a timeless design in the future. It all feels like surface decoration to create the feel of expensive luxury versus great design.
She was class act ❤❤
Tacky.
Does that apartment have any lacquer work?
🤣🤣🤣
A monument to "money can't buy taste"
@Jacko Sargs right...
If someone walked into that nightmare today the only thing they'd consider for the entire apartment is a complete gut/reno.
Do you realize that styles change and what we like today will not be liked in 20 years?
@@jimpatriot179 Do you have trump branded knee pads?
I had such a crush on Bob Vila when I was a kid. 🤣
I’m from the Czech Republic. The style is very tacky. More Russian than Czech. Unfortunately I do believe she had problems with alcohol, isolation, loneliness and in general not really coping with getting old. That applies to lots of people for whom looks were a huge part of their business. And she was a socialite but in recent years irrelevant. But will be missed. I liked here. Btw her mother is still alive at 96.
NOT TRUE..she was still grieving over the death of her last husband.
Ivana was gorgeous. And smart. Enough said.
Business..
Professional..
Residents..
All together👫.

Ivana, in this video, is 34 years old but she looks older.
When you’re married to someone like the Donald that’ll do it to you!
@@j2simpso According to her, he’s the type of guy who likes attention.
Well of course, 34...almost 40 years ago is not the same as 34 nowadays, plus the fashion and her demeanor makes her appear older.
@@hadihatab3126 I brought up this comment because I’m 35. I’m finding being 80 years old today isn’t as ‘ancient’ as it was 40 years ago.
@@unknownunknowns it depends on the environment and the zeitgeist, in the past when you reached a certain age, you were expected to dress and behave in a certain way, also with the fashions from modern perceptions, they appear more mature. For instance, look at Blanche on the Golden Girls, she was 50 but she appeared older from a modern perspective because today a 50 year old in the public eye is someone like Jennifer Lopez, modern hairstyles and more youthful trends contribute to someone looking younger.
Trump is only six days older than Villa. Both were 37 years old when this video was produced.
I'm 35 and still living at home Trump was building skyscrapers at my age...
What a truly beautiful and charming woman.
And it still looks like its straight from 1983!
Couldn't help noticing in the Model Suite with Ivana was the ash trays in every room. Don't see those anymore.
I noticed that too! Everyone smoked!
Beautiful place!!
Hello how are you doing?
The ironic thing about TV in 2050 people will be like Oh that so 2020
Enjoy all the wealth when can and alive ! RIP EVANA
