'1957 fashion film featuring dresses by top Irish designer Sybil Connolly. Restored with AI neural networks to 4K 60 fps clarity. Footage courtesy of Richard Jeffs - Harold Baim Film Archive. You can contact Richard to license or purchase from a treasure trove of films. Sybil Connolly is best remembered for her pleated Handkerchief Linen Dress. She was Ireland’s first fashion designer to attract international acclaim and the first woman to run a successful Irish based fashion house, yet her name has slipped from memory and she is largely unheralded. American Vogue magazine editor Bettina Ballard wrote in 1960 – ” Ireland was a completely unexpected center for fashion. We were drawn to Dublin by the personable milk skinned Irish charmer – Sybil Connolly.” The American press adored her and her knack for quotable lines found her in papers regularly. ” American women are more remarkable than skyscrapers” she said on her first visit. She had many famous fans including future first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

The Deep Learning Restoration Process: Some of the deep learning AI machines like Dain, and DeOldify are freely available from the Github community, if you are prepared to learn how to use Google Colab.You can also try the DainApp for desktop, but will need a computer with a good graphics card, and lots of patience. This was the process I followed: 1. Removed artifacts and noise. 2. Interpolated new frames ( from 24 to 60fps) using the DainApp, to add depth awareness 3. Upscaled the original 480p film to 4K resolution using Topaz Video Enhance AI and Vidcoder.'
