| Description: | Same as catalog # 312901 FASHION COMES TO PARIS Fabulous item takes us inside the Paris fashion house of designer Jean Desses. Paris, France. Brief shot in the workroom of the fashion house of designer Jean Desses; a bolero jacket is put over a striped evening gown on a dummy and carried into the models' dressing room. A girl puts it on and has the stiffened sleeves of the bolero put into position by Jean Desses himself, then she parades around a showroom while fashion writers and buyers watch and take notes. Very glamorous! Another model shows how the draped over-bodice of her dress can be reversed to give the effect of a little jacket with large reveres. Brief C/U of a man with a monocle looking on. Another dress has a floral overskirt that wraps tightly around the waist. Excellent footage of Desses draping an evening dress on a model, pinning the fabric into folds at the waist. The model walks about the showroom in the gown wearing a tulle cape. The salon of Jean Desses had opened the previous year, in 1937. | |
