STAR STYLE
Hollywood Legends as Fashion Icons
by Patty Fox
What do Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich,
Doris Day, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Dolores Del Rio, Greta
Garbo and Marilyn Monroe have in common? The answer is Star Style. STAR
STYLE: Hollywood Legends as Fashion Icons is a riveting
analysis
of ten Hollywood legends as fashion icons, illustrated with more than
130 dramatic black-and-white photographs.
Fox, former regional fashion director of Saks Fifth Avenue and
fashion consultant for the Academy Awards, uses her style savvy to look
beyond the screen and into the real-life wardrobes of women whose
images are known around the world.
Here's what press around the country are saying about the
elegant nine-by-nine inch coffee table book:
- "Fox doles out the drug of the true fashion junkie:
the art of
glamorous illusion, laced with historic fashion shots for the days when
stars inhabited another galaxy -- or at least looked as if they did." --
People Magazine
- "Fox's book goes beyond the evening gowns and
diamonds to give
us glimpses into their little known tricks of the trade." --
Copley News Service
- "A fabulous short course in dressing for power with a
subtle
how-to approach." -- Ready-to-Wear Review
- "Patty Fox's STAR STYLE makes clear why so many
actresses--even in the age of the supermodel--win cosmetic contracts,
influence designers, and turn so many of us into shameless copycats." --
New York Magazine
- "A sumptuous chronicle" -- New York Times
- "The book's luscious black-and-white photos look as
bold and
timely as the pages of this month's Harper Bazaar." -- Buzz
Magazine
- "Patty Fox chose the fashion legends for her new book
with the
same care that Joan Crawford gave her shoes when she coated them in
plastic." -- Dallas Morning News
