[Signed] Head, Edith. How to Dress for Success. First Edition, First Printing. 1967. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is signed “Edith Head” on the flyleaf.
Who says glamour cannot walk hand in hand with common sense? Certainly not legendary costume designer Edith Head. She set the standard for midcentury Hollywood fashions and won a record-breaking eight Academy Awards (nominated an astonishing thirty-five times). Here, she offers advice for women on how to dress themselves and, to a lesser extent, their families. Her rules are simple and sensible. If followed, they remain a near-guarantee of chic and elegance. The book’s amusing illustrations balance nicely with the common-sense approach of the book’s text.
“Excellent fit is one of the first requirements of dressing for success. Without it even the most elegant clothes look like something whipped up by loving hands at home.”
--Edith Head
