Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) seated with several men for the fashion show at he British Industries Fair - (I believe that a man on her right is Lord Derby).
Two models in long silk dresses with big flowers attached to the chest parading along a long podium. Close up shot of the Duchess of York talking to the men next to her.
Next model is wearing long colourful dress and a short dark cape over it. The inside of cape is made of the same colourful fabric as the dress - looks fabulous. Duchess looking on. Model turning around. Duchess talking the the men next to her. She seems to be very interested in frocks.
Several shots of the dress parade - most evening dresses and one wedding dress. Two model showing very pretty silk underwear.
