Visions of Hollywood to Dance Through Their Heads
By Twistie
Hollywood costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis is president of the Hollywood Costume Designers Guild. She also designed the costumes for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, and Coming To America, which earned her an Acadamy Award nomination. Now she adds author to her list of accomplishments with Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design.
Using many previously unpublished photographs and sketches, this book gives an indside look at the art of costume design for film. This is the perfect gift for anyone interested in Hollywood, costume design, or the topsy-turvey world of film.

For Canadian readers, Chapters/Indigo/Coles is doing a deal of the week through the holiday season, with a select book being 50% off the list price in store and online. There’s been some good picks so far - there’s been the book of selections from O magazine, former Prime Minister Jean Chretien. This week’s pick is Playing for Pizza by John Grisham. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a Chapters employee. It’s still a very good deal, I’m excited about some of the upcoming deals of the week.
They’re featured on the main page at Chapters.Indigo.ca. The details say:
“Offer valid in-store at Indigo, Chapters and Coles and online from Friday November 23th - Thursday November 29th, 2007 or while quantities last.”
