NOTES: COL PRINT LOCATION: PARIS TITLE: CHOMBERT FURS SERVICED DATE: 08/03/78 NO: LNC 95348 DATE SHOT: 08/01/78 LENGTH: 93FT SECONDS: 2:30 SOUND: MUTE DATE OF ARRIVAL: FILM SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS OF AUTUMN-WINTER FUR COLLECTION BY CHOMBERT OF PARIS LEAD IN: OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE USE OF FURS HAS BEEN STEADILY MODERNISED BY THE FASHION INDUSTRY. ADVANCES IN CRAFTSMANSHIP HAVE ENABLED TODAY'S FURRIERS TO WORK WITH FURS WITH A DEGREE OF THE SAME FREEDOM THEY WOULD HAVE WORKING IN CLOTH. THE AUTUMN-WINTER COLLECTION OF CHOMBERT OF PARIS IS FASHIONED ALONG THE LINES OF CLOTH. THE LINES ARE SOFT, WITH AMPLE USE OF LONG ENVELOPPING CARDIGANS AND SHORT, BUTTONLESS JACKETS (PALETOTS FRONCES). FEET R/SECS 9 14 MS MODEL IN BLACK COAT(2) 24 38 MS SHOWS LINING OF COAT 34 54 MS MODEL IN WHITE COAT WITH SAILOR 55 1:24 MS MODEL IN FUR DRESS (3 SHOTS) 56 1:30 MS CHOMBERT SIGN OUTSIDE SHOP 67 1:47 MS CALF-LENGTH COAT 75 2:00 MS TWO MODELS IN JACKETS (2 SHOTS) 93 2:30 MS MODEL IN FUR CARDIGAN COMMENTARY: HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, IS A REVERSABLE COAT, RATHER TRADITIONAL ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT LINED WITH A "BREITSCHWANTZ" IN PADDED SILK. ANOTHER COAT IN MINK, THIS TIME IN WHITE MINK, WITH A SAILOR'S COLLAR. THIS OFF THE SHOULDER DRESS IS ALSO MINK, FEATURING AN ALLURING SLIT UP THE SIDE. IT IS DRAWN AT THE SHOULDER WITH TASSLES. CHOMBERT IS LOOKING TO THE PAST, SET FREE TO BORROW FROM SOME OF THE CLASSIC DESIGNS OF YESTERYEAR BY THE MODERN ADVANCES IN FUR WORKING. THIS CALF-LENGTH DRESS IN GREY ASTRAKAN ALSO FEATURES A DOUBLE-BELT AND SHOULDER EPAULETTES. ALSO LOOKING BACKWARD ARE THESE FUR JACKETS, IN THE LINED STYLE SO POPULAR YEARS AGO. THE LEATHER PANTS, AND THE DANGLING FRINGE, ADD AN UP-TO-DATE NOTE, HOWEVER, AND THE HEADGEAR ADDS A TOUCH OF EXPRESSIONISTIC STYLE REMINISCENT OF FRITZ LANG'S METROPOLIS. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE COLLECTION IS THIS FUR CARDIGAN, WITH MATCHING CAP, STYLED AS IF IT WERE HEAVY WOOL. CERTAINLY AN UNDERSTATED LOOK, ONE THAT STANDS IN SHARP CONTRAST TO THE OFTEN OSTENTATIOUS USE OF TRADITIONAL FUR DESIGNS.
