Summary

"Hollywood Dressed & Undressed pairs still photographs from classic and contemporary movies with costume expert Sandy Schreier's entertaining anecdotes and facts about Hollywood movie stars, their unforgettable costumes, and the inside stories behind them. Schreier transports the reader through a century of Hollywood film, from the founding of the Hollywood studio system by Adolph Zukor, Louis B. Mayer, and Samuel Goldwyn (former furrier, button dealer, and glove manufacturer) to today's blockbusters. Beginning with an overview of the major Hollywood fashion trends of this century, the book unfolds in chapters illustrating such themes as working girls, good and bad; underwear before, after, and during censorship; the influence of the French couturiers and American designers on Hollywood costuming; and star-power accessories -- the ubiquitous sunglasses, hats, cigarettes, and cocktails seen on the silver screen."--Jacket.
