VIDEOFASHION: 30 Years on NYC Channel 25

On Thursday, September 14, 2006 at 8:00 pm the one-hour special, "Videofashion: 30 Years,", will have its world premiere on NYC TV Channel 25, home to the weekly Videofashion News series.

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!

"We couldn't imagine a better lead-in to our major coverage of Fashion Week, Spring 2007" said Trevor Scotland, Director of Business Development for NYC TV. "The timing of this special retrospective produced by Videofashion Network works well with our fashion programming and we're happy to air the premier this week on our flagship broadcast channel, NYC TV channel 25."

Tune in to NYC TV Channel 25 on Thursday, September 14th at 8:00 pm to find out which designers and models have become iconic in the 2000s.
