Description :A cross between the seventh art and fashion, this fascinating study traces the fertile relationship between these two fields of creation. While the costumes worn on the screen have brought entire sections of the history of cinema into the workshops of fashion designers, directors and stars very early on solicited the talent and originality of haute couture and ready-to-wear labels. The stylistic, psychological or political motivations of this reciprocity shed light on the moments of grace that lit up the movie theaters and the fashion shows. From Hollywood fashion to the new looks of genre cinema, the volume invites us into the intimacy of emblematic collaborations: Edith Head and Alfred Hitchcock, Christian Dior and Marlene Dietrich, William Travilla and Marilyn Monroe, Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn, Ralph Lauren and Robert Redford, Catherine Deneuve and Yves Saint Laurent…

The Chiffon Trenches
33.25 € En savoir +BUYAuthor: Andre Leon Talley
Publisher: Fourth Estate Ltd
Publication Date: 2020
Description : During André Leon Talley’s first magazine job assisting Andy Warhol at Interview , a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship and propelled Talley into the upper echelons by virtue of his shared knowledge and adoration of fashion. He moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild’s Women’s Wear Daily , befriending fashion’s most important designers. But as Talley made friends, he also made enemies. A fraught encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. There, he developed an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour, and as she rose to the top of Vogue‘s masthead, Talley became the most influential man in fashion.The Chiffon Trenches is a candid look at the who’s who of the last fifty years of fashion, and proof that fact is always fascinatingly more devilish than fiction. André Leon Talley’s engaging memoir tells the story of how he not only survived but thrived – despite racism, illicit rumors and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry – to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion.
