Слушайте, а это вот прям я одна не знала, что цветное (ну не то чтобы очень цветное, но все-таки) кино снимали уже в первые десятилетия ХХ века?
Процесс назывался Kinemacolor

Вот тут довольно поятно показано, как он снимался и как выглядел потом на экране.

"Суть состоит в том, что камера имела вращающийся светофильтр, и увеличенную в два раза скоростью съемки (32 кадра в секунду вместо стандартных на то время 16), а перед плёнкой с такой же скоростью менялись красный и зелёный светофильтры из окрашенного желатина.
Демонстрация фильма также требовала специального устройства, которое поочередно меняло два фильтра по ходу всей ленты. Способ имел проблемы с красно-зеленой окантовкой вокруг быстро движущихся объектов и засветками."

А я про него прочитала в книге Элизабет Лиз(Leese E. Costume Design in the Movies: An Illustrated Guide to the Work of 157 Great Designers. N.Y., 1991).
Причем этот процесс активно использовался именно для съемок моды, первые - 1912 год, c 1913 выходит Kinemacolor Fashion Gazette.
Подробнее:

"In 1911 the All British Fasions Exhibition at Kensington Gore was recorded on film, and the following description of the event appeared in the Kinemacolor Film Catalogue of 1912:

"Remarkable as showing the styles of costume fashionable in the year of grace 1911, and also as proving that the skill of British designers is not so far behind that of our French cousins as is sometimes supposed. The film was secured in co-operation with Messrs. Liberty & Co. and consists of photographs of mannequins parading in gowns of the latest, and sometimes ultra fashionable design. The harem skirt, the fashion sensation of the year finds a place in the array."

In the early part of this century, film-makers tried cheaper and quicker methods, sometimes tinting sections of the film with a colour wash, and producing in 1908 a process called Kinemacolor which gave a fairly good effect of colour by alternating green and red. The short interest films were very suitable for these colour experiments and a parade of the latest fashions was an ideal subject fora cinemagazine. In those days feature films were very short, and the programme had to be filled out with four of five other items. In 1913 a very ambitious project was devised by an enterprising fashion journalist called Miss Abbey Meehan. In conjunction with the Natural Colour Kinematograph Co. she produced the Kinemacolor Fashion Gazette. The film played at the Scala Theatre in London (and also at several provincial theatres) in November 1913 and showed all the latest fasions, which were modelled by actresses and society ladies. Miss Meehan managed to recruit as models the Princess Bariatinsky, Miss Joy Chatwyn, Miss Dorothy Minto, Miss
Sybil de Bray, Miss Violet Essex, Miss June Ford, Miss Elsa Collins and Madame Bonita. The clothes were modelled in natural outdoor settings and there was a carefully chosen musical accompaniment for each gown. Several London West End and Parisian costumiers and milliners permitted their creations to be photographed, and one of the highlights was the appearance of the tango dress, shown by two dancers who gave an exhibition of London's newest dance craze. This production was also shown at the "Evening News" review of Fashion at the Waest End Cinema Theatre in Coventry Street. The "Evening News" invited a great many dressmakers and milliners, as well as celebrities, to the performance."
