British Pathe synopsis -"Latest Paris Fashions in Pathecolor." Stencil colour images with pink tinted intertitles. Introductory intertitle reads: "Out of (probably) Adam’s pyjamas, the dress designer has created these striking modes." Model stands on a small flight of steps wearing a pale blue all in one catsuit with wide trousers. She poses with hands on hips and one leg bent to show off the trousers. She takes off a silky jacket to reveal bare shoulders and turns to show the back of the dress/trouser suit. It has a train at the back which makes it look more like a long flowing dress than trousers. She walks up the steps away from the camera. "If Eve has any desire to "wear the trousers", here is a complete opportunity - modernity and masculinity, plus the feminine touch." A model poses at the top of a flight of steps. She leans against a trompe d’oiel pillar. She wears a sparkling black dress and a serge green jacket. A woman in a flowing pink dress with sequined bodice and matching jacket walks up the steps towards her friend. Dissolve into midshot of the pair, the model in pink slips off her jacket to show the back of her frock. As they walk down the steps together we see that the full skirts are in fact trousers. - Keywords
