This is a pretty amazing book. The research on the early designers, Clare West and Lucia "Mother" Coulter alone would make this worth securing a copy. The photographs are very well selected to accompany the text. I appreciate that the authors went the distance on the early designers and did so well on choosing modern designers. Some great information on designers like Travis Banton and Howard Greer as well. This is an essential book for those who are interested in the topic of film fashion. Kudos.

I’m in heaven right now and not much could improve it… I have been waiting for a book like this for years and I could not be more impressed! It is beautifully designed and laid-out. Fascinating to read and perfectly comprehensive on the designers showcased, with the right amount of text for each. Over and above the fact that it is an essential reference book, it lets you connect to the human side of these designers that you’ve admired for years, yet knew so little of. These stories vanish as we do…but it’s good to know that someone took great care to save what he could find over the years, so he could share them with us in such a beautiful package. You will LOVE this book!

I love Hollywood and I love movie fashion. This incredible book is a gold mine for anyone who enjoys the magic and glamour of old or new Hollywood. Starting with the silent movie era, Jorgensen and Scoggins follow every major and minor designer and illustrate their amazing creations up through the present time. The photos are sumptuous and the text enlightening and always entertaining. This book is classy in every way and a must for every cinema lover’s library. Reading this book made me aware more the ever of the tremendous importance of costume to a movie’s success and the brilliant work of these talented designers that the movie studios were lucky enough to put under contract. These costumes are works of art and have been so under appreciated. Hats off to Jay Jorgensen and Donald Scoggins for giving us this magnificent tome.
