This remarkable account of Irene Sharaff's starstudded career leads readers backstage and into the dressing rooms of a dazzling array of such stage and screen notables as Gypsy Rose Lee, Judy Garland, Yul Brynner, Elizabeth Taylor, Rex Harrison, Gertrude Lawrence, Gene Kelly, Barbra Stresisand, and many others. Presented here are Miss Sharaff's personal and professional notes on her apprenticeship to Aline Bernstein and first steps for Broadway in the thirties and Hollywood in 1942, and on the training of eye, mind, and hand in the metier of costume designing from drawing board to choosing materials, from fittings to the final results. Especially interesting are her comments on the contrast between designing for the stage and for films, particularly in the handlding of color for the two different mediums, and on the relationship of designing for entertainment and for the world of fashion. Fullcolor and blackandwhite illustrations include reproductions of Miss Sharaff's working sketches, costumes, test stills, and photographs taken on the set and on location. Miss Sharaff's working sketches, professional notes, and keen observations will fascinate not only designers, but also every showbusiness buff from Broadway to Hollywood!
