30 YEARS AGO: "60 Minutes" was eight years old, People magazine was 2 years old, "Saturday Night Live" was one-year old -- CNN and Lifetime hadn't been born yet and people weren't crying for their MTV. Videofashion News is in good company.

Launched as "the world's first videomagazine", Videofashion News has been produced continuously since 1976, starring the world's greatest designers, supermodels, celebrities, rising stars, beauty makers, and fashion luminaries from the famous to the trend setters on the street.

On Thursday, December 14, 2006 Videofashion is celebrating its 30th birthday. On that night, a one-hour anniversary special, Videofashion News: 30 years, will be telecast at 11PM by NYCTV, home to the weekly Videofashion News.

The Videofashion Anniversary Special presents four decades of fashion from the 1970s through today. Drawing from the thirty-year Videofashion Library archives, the two or three designers that had the greatest influence in shaping the fashion trends for each decade will be featured, as well as the models that personified the major fashion trends.

"This anniversary special is like stepping back in time to every fashion moment over the last 30 years. Only Videofashion News has the library content needed to give the deserved historical richness to the fashion stories of the 1970s and 1980s," said Anne V. Adami, founding Managing Editor of the Videofashion Network.

In the 1970s, the inspirational and influential Yves Saint Laurent created the fashion images taken for granted today while Halston, America's first fashion celebrity, set the standard for clean, elegant fashion. Regarded by many as the first real catwalk star, Pat Cleveland twirled her way down the runway all the while.

Regrettable or not, the 1980s had a style of its own. Featured are Calvin Klein at his most controversial, Donna Karan in the years when she created her iconic "Seven Easy Pieces" and Jerry Hall before she married Mick!

Gianni Versace and Tom Ford stood for more than just fashion in the 1990s -- they each symbolized the exceptionally sexed up decade while Marc Jacobs showed the flipside with his watershed Grunge collection. It was a time when we were on a first name basis with the most beautiful women in the world -- Linda, Naomi, Cindy, Claudia, Christy, and Kate!

Tune in to NYC TV Channel 25 on Time Warner on Thursday, December 14, 2006 to find out which designers and models have become iconic in the 2000s.

"With 17,000 hours of footage, 12,000 edited segments, 1,600 completed programs, and 22,000 miles of runway, Videofashion is taking off" says Nicolas Charney, Editorial Director and co-founder of Videofashion.

The Videofashion Network of programming now contains 12 different, on-going program series and is the world's largest fashion, beauty, and lifestyle programming source for all media: television, home video, out-of-home, internet, mobile, trade, and education. "The Network's award-winning programs are seen each week by more viewers in more countries, in more languages, than any other fashion programming produced by any other company in the world", concludes President Marlene Cardin, co-founder of Videofashion.
