Design for Dreaming, is simply put, beautiful kitsch. All about everything and really about nothing, it's a gorgeous fantasy piece designed to show case everything.. you name it (The Exposition! Cars! Fashion! Cooking! Music!) featuring a Cyd Charisse like dancer having one whopper of a dream where a phantom figure twirls her around and shows her the cars of tommorow, a fantasy kitchen and all the up to the minute fashions. it's wild, it's technolcolor, it's cult-deserving and it's a MUST SEE on this site.
