The Dress Doctor by Edith Head
Before there was a throng of celebrity stylists permeating our culture, the legendary Edith Head was dressing Hollywood's most fashionable women and men on screen and off, and lending her sartorial wisdom to eager women across the country. With more than 80 chic, colourful, especially commissioned illustrations, this charming volume is brimming with a mix of informative and amusing fashion sound bites from a to z. Readers will relish Head's classic style tips, benefiting from her timeless expertise on developing a personal style, assessing one's figure and dressing to flatter it, building a wardrobe, and judging quality. They'll love her many entertaining inside stories on dressing Hollywood's leading men and women - Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, and many more - and looking at Bil Donovan's gorgeous re-creations of Head's most famous costumes.
Edith Head (1897-1981) is indisputably the most famous costume designer of all time. During her forty-four years at Paramount Studios, she dressed Hollywood's biggest stars and created some of the most iconic fashion images on film. In the course of her career, she received thirty-four Oscar nominations for costume design and won the award eight times. She also dispensed her advice to countless women through newspaper columns, magazine articles, television and radio shows, and her two books, The Dress Doctor and How to Dress for Success. She is honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame, along with other luminaries of the silver screen past and present.
