Summary

Pathe synopsis: We visit the Mayfair salon of two of Europe’s top couturiers, Dora and Raemonde Rahvis - who also happen to be the only women in this field. Their new collection is inspired by old, and not-so-old, masters in the field of art. The colours of the French Impressionists are (in some instances) allied to the classic Greek and Roman lines - making as exotic a collection as you could ever hope to see.
