Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fashions of 1934 is a musical comedy film from, yes, 1934, directed by William Dieterle.William Powell is Sherwood Nash, a rather shady businessman who, at the very start of the movie, is watching people repossess the furniture in his failed investment firm. (It was 1934.). As he is leaving his shuttered office, he chats up ambitious but frustrated fashion designer Lynn Mason (Bette Davis). One look at Lynn's sketchbook and Nash gets an idea. Soon, he is running a scam in which he copies the latest fashions coming over on the boats from Europe, and sells cheap knockoffs in department stores.Incensed New York fashion store owners threaten Nash with arrest, but he points out that they'd be better off enlisting him to steal for them. So Nash and a reluctant Lynn are off to Paris to rip off the elite designers. They get caught doing that, however, so Nash comes up with still a different scam: Lynn will forge the works of leading fashion designers, coming up with her own drawings but signing the names of better-known people.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Made toward the end of The Pre-Code Era, the film basically uses its plot as an excuse for sex jokes, fanservice, and a Busby Berkeley Number choreographed by Busby Berkeley himself. The only time William Powell and Bette Davis starred in a film together, mainly because right after making this movie Powell left Warner Bros. for MGM. | |

Alcohol Hic: Joe Ward, the ostrich feather salesman—It Makes Sense in Context, sort of—whom Nash goes into business with. He's an alcoholic who hiccups more than once when he gets drunk. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Fashions of 1934 / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Joe Ward, Nash's business partner. He's drunk all the time. In one scene he says that they can talk business, but not until after he's "had a drop of lunch." | |

Bare Your Midriff | |
| Fashions of 1934 / int_9578e935 | comment |
Bare Your Midriff: Since all the women in the Busby Berkeley Number are wearing nothing but bra and panties, bare midriffs abound. This is notable because within a matter of weeks after production was completed on this movie The Hays Code and its censorship slammed down on Hollywood, and navels—female navels, anyway—wouldn't be seen again for decades. | |
