Costume Design in the Movies: An Illustrated Guide to the Work of 157 Great Designers (Dover Fashion and Costumes)

Description

This handsome book, the first comprehensive reference work on costume design in films, is a remarkable tribute to the men and women who “dress” a film. Substantially revised and updated, it not only presents a splendid record of costume designers’ contributions to cinema but also those of some of the world’s great couturiers.
The heart of the book is an illustrated listing, arranged alphabetically by designer, providing biographical and career data (screen credits, major awards and nominations) for every major American, British, and French designer who worked on American and British films between 1909 and 1987.
