Description

Bill Travilla became a Hollywood star in his own right, thanks in large part to his premier client, actress Marilyn Monroe.

Best known for designing Monroe's costumes in eight films--including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire--Travilla also lit up the silver screen with designs for Tom Mix, Ann Sheridan, Errol Flynn, Joan Crawford, Jane Russell, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward, among others.

When the golden era of Hollywood ended, Travilla focused on running his own couture-quality business.

He also found time to free-lance for television epics such as Evita, The Thorn Birds, and Dallas.

One Oscar and several Emmys later, it's easy to recognize the legacy of this outstanding designer.

Showcased here are many of Travilla's original sketches for the stars, along with fascinating "costume check" and publicity photos.

His rise from child art prodigy to celebrated designer is chronicled, painting a wonderful portrait of his rich contributions to the motion picture, television, and fashion industries.

This beautiful book will be loved by all movie buffs, Monroe fans, Hollywood collectors, fashion historians, and students of costume design.
