New summer fashions are previewed in both London and Rome. They include "the boubon", a summer dress of African prints with that nation's language on the hem. Fontana shows a "hideaway" beach tent, underneath which a lady can change her suit, and a "monoskato" outfit with embroidered pants. In the streets of London, a two tier bus passes. CU Grapes, camera pulls back to disclose the grapes were on a dress. It looks like a mannequin but it s just a model posing as one dressed up in the high fashion print dress called a boo boo. CU Writing on the dress: Mpenzi Kanirudya Moyo. Limeni umeni Tuliya translates to " My sweetheart has returned. Now my heart is carefree. A short cover-up reminiscent of Cousin it from the Adam s Family is modeled. It s a large striped beach towel that covers her head, can be wore like a poncho with two holes cut for the eyes. A model wearing an evening gown with some sequins sewn on to it. One side is short like a dress right above the knee and the other is a long pant leg. Interesting fashion choice.
