The best pictorial archive of classic film fashion,
By
This review is from: Fashion in Film (Paperback)
I've loved this book ever since I found it via interlibrary loan some years ago, and I added it to my library the first chance I got. The book is mostly, as I stated, a pictorial archive, divided by particular items of fashion; as webmaster of For the Love of Opera Gloves, I particularly appreciated that Ms. Englemeier devoted a section to the gloves of the great glamour girls of cinema. :) But there's something here for everyone, and the quality of the photo reproduction is top-notch! If you're building a comprehensive library on film costuming - like I'm attempting to do - you HAVE to have this book.
