How to Dress for Success by Edith Head
Would you like to look younger, prettier, slimmer? Would you like to attract a new man, hold on to the current one? Would you like to get a better job, earn more money? Would you like your husband to move up the ladder of success, attract more friends? Then this is your book. Edith Head, Hollywood designer to the stars, offers no-nonsense, and often hilarious, fashion advice straight from the 1960s. There is still much to learn today from Head’s witty style tips and delightful drawings. Bound in real cloth with ribbon marker and foil embossing.
Edith Head (1897–1981) dressed stars from Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn to Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren. Undoubtedly Hollywood’s most famous and influential costume designer, Head designed clothes for over a thousand films and won eight Academy Awards. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
