Adrian: Hollywood Designer Zusammenfassung

Adrian: Hollywood Designer Leonard Stanley

This is a bright, bubbly look at the fashion, art, and homes of Adrian, one of the most celebrated clothing designers of the 20th Century. Perhaps most well-known for his work at MGM from 1928-1941, Adrian created wearable confections for the likes of Greta Garbo, Lana Turner, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, and Katherine Hepburn before going on to found one of the most popular and influential fashion labels of the mid twentieth century. When he wasn t dressing some of the most well-known women of his day, Adrian had a passion for art and design which manifested itself in his impeccably decorated homes and personal paintings and sketches, which are shown here for the first time in years. Adrian: Hollywood Designer is the first book on the famed Hollywood fashion and costume designer to be published with the cooperation of his family. The book will include an introduction from the designer s son, Robin, as well as a trove of never-before-seen images and anecdotes taken from Adrian s private archives and showing not just his fashions, but also his homes, paintings, family photos, personal writings, and much more. This will be the definitive book on the life and legend of Adrian.

Adrian: Hollywood Designer Bewertungen

"With lush photographs and swoon-worthy designs, Adrian: A Lifetime of Movie Glamour, Art, and High Fashion by Leonard Stanley revisits the designers work, giving his craft new life." CR FASHION BOOK.COM

"The most extensive book to date on Adrian (who successfully transitioned from film to fashion by 1941, opening a Beverly Hills salon the following year), the tome pays tribute to his fantastical MGM handiwork and offers a complete assessment of the career enjoyed by Hollywoods highest paid couturier, as he was known in his heyday. Adrian was a polymath. Featuring previously unseen images, including his lavish sketches and Surrealist-inspired paintings (culled from the collection of the author, historian Leonard Stanley), this extensive study also displays a trove of archival photography and magazine articles chronicling the striking decor he conjured for his homes in and around Los Angeles."
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"Written by Leonard Stanley, a preeminent collector of costume design sketches, and Mark A. Vieira, with a foreword by Adrians son, Robin Adrian, these pages celebrate the life and iconic work of the mononymous designer and costumer, who concepted ensembles for more than 150 productions during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Enjoy reviewing sketches and photographs of incredible gowns worn by Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, Katharine Hepburn and others." C: CALIFORNIA STYLE MAGAZINE

"If looks could astound, add in the magnificent photos of costumes and fashions that Adrian created. Most important is the unique first-hand perspective in Adrian's writing about his life and career. Adding to that is the authorization of his son Robin Adrian and the heartfelt admiration in the introduction and throughout the book by longtime devotee Leonard Stanley, a lifelong collector and fan of all things "Adrian." Cap it off with Mark A. Vieira's writing, and, well, "This book stepped out of a dream." All in all, it is beauty personified because of Adrian's remarkable talent as a fashion designer." EDGE MEDIA NETWORK
