Clothes of the Future: a fashion forecast from 1930

Here is an interesting, sort of funny video from the 1930's in which they predict what the fashions for "Eve" (read: women) of 2000 will be like:

Wow, that spiral zipper dress was extremely forward!!!!

It predated what Rudi Gernreich did by at least 25 years, and what designers like Mugler and Alaia did by probably 45 years.
