Shop window with bathing suit mannequins, Berlin 1930
Curious passers-by gather in front of an illuminated shop window where mannequins display modern bathing suits; a man in a hat turns toward the camera. Such window displays were part of everyday life on Berlin's shopping streets in the late Weimar Republic, when ready-to-wear fashion and leisurewear became affordable for a broad public. The revealing bathing suit stood for the new, sporty and liberated body culture of the 1920s and early 1930s. The footage comes from unedited newsreel material on urban life in Berlin.
