Broadway & Hollywood: Costumes Designed by Irene Sharaff

[very nice copy, no significant wear to book, just a previous owner's rubber-stamped signature on front endpaper; the jacket is very lightly surface-worn]. (B&W photos, color/B&W sketches) Memoir by the multiple Oscar- and Tony-winning costume designer. "Presented here are Miss Sharaff's personal and professional notes on her apprenticeship to Aline Bernstein and first steps to Broadway in the thirties and Hollywood in 1942, and on the training of eye, mind, and hand in the mtier of costume designing -- from drawing board to choosing materials, from fittings to the final results. Especially interesting are her comments on the contrast between designing for the stage and for films, particularly in the handling of color for the two different mediums, and on the relationship of designing for entertainment and for the world of fashion. Full-color and black-and-white illustrationss include reproductions of Miss Sharaff's working sketches, costume test stills, and photographs taken on the set and on location."
