Hi, Thank you for this gem.
The hats are... well it depends I guess. I don't quite fall for the upturned flower pot style myself, so I think that's a matter of taste. I love the wide brimmed cone-like ones though. I would like to find out if they were "just" something stiff that they shaped into a cone and blocked a top to go with it. It kind of looked like that to me, from the milliner's studio, but could also b that the brimm also was blocked. I can't even begin to think of the cost to have a block like that made today.
I also really enjoyed the "catwalk film". The couture is fantastic. I so love the texture and shine of one of the coats so much, but except that it must have been silk from the luminosity, I don't know what that fabric might have been. I also loved some of the dresses. Beautiful even in black and white. Thank you so much. Yours, Ann

😅What happened at 1:21? The dresser did not look pleased at the attitude of the model. SO annoyed. 1:31 looks like she calls her a B. 😂
