Fashioning Film Stars

Fashioning Film Stars brings together work by established and emerging scholars in the field of film costume and star studies to address the significance of the relationships between fashion, dress, and star image. While studies of individual stars have often commented on the importance of style to the construction of their persona, such work has until now remained largely focused upon the female Hollywood, or occasionally European, star. This scholarly and readable volume redresses that balance, offering close analyses of the detail and significance of male and female star style in Hollywood, European, Asian, and Latin American contexts.
The stars discussed in this volume are Brigitte Bardot, Luisina Brando, George Clooney, Sean Connery, Doris Day, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Samuel L. Jackson, Kay Kendall, Gregory Peck, Norma Shearer, Brad Pitt, Sulochana, and female stars in Mexican cinema.
