Summary: Disappointing treatment of a great subject !!!
Comment: I bought this book for my wife who has been an Oscar fan for 50 years or more. She found the book to be poorly written, poorly edited and it seemed to have a hangup on hippie type dresses. Her remark about the photos was "there certainly must be a lot of glamourous type photos that could have been used".

Summary: On a coffee table.....
Comment: A friend had this on her coffee table and I thought it was so well done. There are something like 500 pictures in this book that span the decades of Oscar opulence. The book celebrates designers and styles as well as the actresses who wear them.
I think the best part of the Oscars is watching the total to the nines and tens glamour of people who spent the past three days getting ready!

Summary: JUST LOOK WHAT SHE HAS ON!
Comment: Few can resist the glitz, glitter and suspense of Oscar night. Who would want to as where else is such a concentration of beauty and fashion to be found? While, of course, the actual award presentations are the crux of the evening that stroll down the famous Red Carpet has become a must-see for many.
Now, for the first time in this eye-popping volume is a collection of the silver screen's beauties over the past 75 years. All are captured in brilliant full-color photographs (500 of them). Many of the gowns chosen brought oohs and aahs - a few brought "What in the world is she wearing?"
Not only do readers find a parade of Oscar dresses but they're also given insider information re fashion and style analysis. What fun it is to see Katharine Hepburn in the casual duds she wore for her 1974 appearance and surely no one can forget Bjork's "swan dress" just two years ago. Cher, of course, is one of a kind in her Bob Mackie dresses.
While styles may change we find that elegance doesn't as witnessed by Mary Pickford in her exquisite 1930 gown. Lithe and lovely as ever there's Audrey Hepburn in a lovely Givenchy that emphasizes her tiny waist, and, of course, La Taylor stuns in a red Halston strapless. Halle Berry took top honors in the fashion category last year, and Grace Kelly looks royal and elegant in a silk gown designed by Edith Head.
There are lot of memories in "Oscar Fashion" plus much to be learned and enjoyed.
