Summary
Pathe synopsis: To illustrate the originality and imagination used by designers in their treatment of the new stain-resisting and water-repellant cotton fabrics, we look at a collection where pyjamas and curtains in America, informal evening wear in New Zealand, and a summer outfit in the West Indies are created from one fabric design alone!
