Abstract: A fashion previewing system having improved optical and color characteristics for allowing the previewing of various hair styles and colors, and other fashion items. The previewing system utilizes a slide projector for projecting a hair style in realistic color onto a rear projection screen. Forward of the screen is a lens, coated on the projector side of the lens with an anti-reflective coating, and coated on the opposite side thereof with a partially reflective coating. The outer surface of the lens with the partially reflective coating thereon is convex so as to reflect the facial image of the viewer back to the viewer. The inner surface of the lens is flat or curved in cooperation with the outer surface to make the hair style projected by the projector visible to the viewer in proper proportion to the reflected facial image. The slides containing the hair style and color to be projected are preferably characterized by a blackened face and neck region and an appropriate background color.
