| Description: | Same as Catalog # 515322. Fashion Parade: Japanese Fashions. "Japanese fashions for Western tastes are unveiled in New York - the Occidental premiere of a striking style line inspired by Nipponese history and folklore, from a new culture center - Tokyo." Caucasian models show women's clothing. Strapless dress, just below knee length, with a skirt made of panels that are not stitched together so you can see a pair of shorts underneath. An outfit described as "sportswear" which is a layered item: a strapless dress with shiny metallic fabric on bodice, shiny bow in front, and short skirt with a few ruffles; looks she removes a jacket and the skirt to reveal shiny Capri-length pants underneath. Woman on runway models black sheath dress with light-colored horizontal stripes and a matching coat with reversed color scheme; she wears hat and gloves as well. Woman wears hooded blouse with hakama short pants, bunched near the knee sort of like knickers only poofier. Women in the audience look sort of amused. Model removes elaborate, long wrap to reveal sparkly evening gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves. Blond woman models wedding dress; the gown has a full skirt and a repeating motif of circles. | |
