Dressing Up the Stars: The Story of Movie Costume Designer Edith Head
Jeanne W Harvey, illustrated by Diana Toledano
This biography follows Edith Head from a lonely, creative childhood in Searchlight, Nevada, to work in Hollywood costume design. As a child, she dressed animals and toys with ribbons and feathers, collected fabric scraps for doll clothes, and made costumes for friends’ plays. After college, she began as a sketch artist despite lacking drawing skill, then practiced, faced an early failure, and advanced from costumes for animals and dancers to designs for movie stars.
