libscote 's review for:

Edith Head's Hollywood by Edith Head, Paddy Calistro
4.0

I have been intrigued by Edith Head for a while, and this was a good overview of her career. I love the included pictures. I'm definitely not an old Hollywood scholar, so there were names I didn't entirely know and had to look up. I was hoping it would narrow down which Head movies for me to watch and it didn't really. Oh well.

Side note: There are some comments in this book about the size of different women that may be triggering for others. It's not necessarily surprising considering the fashion world, but readers may want to be aware. I don't remember any super racist stuff, but they do talk about using "ethnic" inspiration.
