| Description: | IT WON'T BE A HARD WINTER - IN THESE COATS Fur coat styles for fall 1932; title says "this year the trend is towards lighter colour combinations, particularly with white." Super glamorous fur coats are modelled - gorgeous! United Kingdom MLS tilt down from top of stairs, as 2 models in fur coats walk down steps at the bottom of the stairway a group of several other models in furs sit on benches or standing in front of 2 white pillars. The models reach the bottom and parade back and forth; one wears ankle-length all-white fur coat which flares out at the bottom like a skirt, and has a big stand up collar. The other wears a calf-length coat of that striped grey sort of fur, cut like double-breasted suit with wide lapel, and she also has a dead critter hanging round her neck and down the back. Closer tilt down shots of each model walking & turning around. Next, MLS model poses in coat of "Manchurian fur" (light-colored with vague striping) which comes just below the knees, and a few inches above the hemline of her dress. Next she takes the coat off, turns it inside out and shows the reverse cloth side - "very becoming for street and sports wear." Model enters wearing leopard skin coat with an innovation - a dark fur piece sort of like a modern triangle-shaped stole, which goes over the shoulders and comes to a point in the front and back. The top of this turns into a a large cowl which stands up in back. She also carries a muff of the same dark fur, and wears a leopard skin hat. MS model turning, posing. Next model enters in long narrow black fur coat with a white fur over-jacket (looks like there is stitching on it in patterns) which is rather like an abbreviated cape. MS model turning, posing. | |
