"This compilation of prints made in 1925 and 1926 highlights the strengths of the process with scenes of sumptuous clothing and fabrics, life-like shots of fruit, advertising setups, and abstract kaleidoscopic views. Prominently featured are shots of actress/model Hope Hampton, showcasing the latest French fashions from designers including the House of Worth, Lanvin, and Jean Magnin. These scenes were originally featured in the 1926 shorts Parisian Modes in Colour and Colorful Fashions from Paris, both of which were photographed in Kodak’s color film studio at the Eastman School of Dance and distributed across the US by Educational Pictures as part of the McCall’s Color Fashion News series." — James Layton
