Clothes Make the Woman Trailer (1925)
01 January 1925 6 mins
This film, whose German title is a gender-flipped play on the proverbial phrase “clothes make the man”, shows how the batik dyeing technique is used to create vividly patterned garments in a small retail shop in New York. Different items of clothing are then modelled for the cameras to the, at times, patronising and sexist commentary provided in the intertitles.
