Friday Video: A 1932 Fashion Show on the Thames
Friday, April 25, 2014
Isabella reporting,
Spring is finally in the air (sort of), so it seems like high time to check out trendy resort wear for warmer weather via a newsreel from 1932. For this particular fashion show, the models' runway is a boat cruising the Thames. I don't know what time of the year this took place, but it does appear that the spectators and the crew are much more warmly dressed than the poor models. As for the famous "film folk" that make a cameo - I'm afraid I don't have a clue. Anyone recognize them?
What struck me most, however, was how modern the clothes looked. These styles were new more than eighty years ago, yet most of them could go striding along the beach now and look just as fashionable. The more things change....

Oh Yes! The nautical look is in, and how about those crop tops in the last frame - they are so of the moment this year! My niece has a fashion blog and she just did an entry on them....
OMG, I wore white short shorts and a very similar top-w/o a bra-waaay back in the early 60's. So we were just doing 1932 all over again ! Love it !
Okay and I did the braless thing in the 70s! Ah to be that thin again! Thanks for sharing--you always have such fun stuff.
