Welcome to the Glitz and Glam Giveaway Hop
hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews
Nobody does glitz and glam like Hollywood, both on and off screen. All
those amazing looks on screen are put together by costume designers. One
of the most well-known costume designers of the early days, who is probably not as well known today, is Travis Banton. Banton
worked with numerous iconic movie stars, including Claudette Colbert,
Mae West, and Marlene Dietrich, on films like Cleopatra, I'm No Angel, and Shanghai Express. Now Banton's
life and career are captured in the fascinating new book Banton of
Paramount: Haute Couture in Hollywood's Golden Age by Howard Gutner.
This book not only details his experiences working with these actresses
and the outfits he created for them, but also offers numerous pictures
of his creations. For more about this book, see our previous
