The Christmas List
Made for Each Other: Fashion and the Academy Awards (Hardcover) by Bronwyn Cosgrave
In this entertaining look at the history of Academy Award fashion, Cosgrove, who covered the Oscars for British Vogue and the BBC, discusses the relationship between star designers and actresses—Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn, Edith Head and Grace Kelly,  Scaasi and Streisand, Halston and Liza, Bob Mackie and Cher. Cosgrave could have simply served up a deep dish of anecdotes, gossip and tales of rivalry, but she has gone several steps further to deliver a carefully researched and footnoted book that belongs in every Hollywood historian’s library and is sure to be consulted for a long time to come.Fabulous.
