Roger Vivier

New York, NY: Universe Publishing, 1999. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0789303302. This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket has a nicked tear to the top front spine end. "Vivier has been called the "Fragonard of the shoe" and his shoes "the Fabergé of Footwear" by numbers of critics. He designed extravagant, richly decorated shoes that he described as sculptures. He is credited with the design of the first platform shoe in 1937 and the first stiletto heel in 1954. Stiletto heels, the very thin high heel, were certainly discovered around in the late 19th century, as numerous fetish drawings attest, but Vivier is known for reviving and developing this opulent style by using a thin rod of steel.

WESTMORE, PERC, WALLY, BUD, FRANK AND MONT

The Westmore Beauty Book

Chicago, IL: Melvin Korshak Company, 1956. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; SIGNED EDITION. This copy has been signed by one of the authors, Mel Westmore, along with an inscription, on the title page. This is an oversized hardback book. The book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Near Fine dust jacket. The book covers have some light bumping and wear to the spine ends and corners, along with some light spots of ground-in dirt. The text pages are clean and bright. "English wigmaker George Westmore, for whom the Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild's George Westmore Lifetime Achievement Award is named, founded the first film makeup department at Selig Polyscope Company in 1917. He also worked at Triangle, but soon began freelancing across the major studios. He understood that cosmetic and hair needs were personal and made up stars such as Mary Pickford (whom he relieved of having to curl her famous hair daily by making false ringlets) and the Talmadge sisters (Norma and Constance) in their homes before they left for work in the morning. He fathered three generations of movie makeup artists, beginning with his six sons—Perc (pronounced "perss" not "perk") , Ern, Monte, Wally, Bud, and Frank. By 1926, Monte, Perc, Ern, and Bud had become the chief makeup artists at four major studios and all continued to break ground in new beauty and horror illusions throughout their careers. In 1921, after dishwashing at Famous Players-Lasky, Monte became Rudolph Valentino's sole makeup artist. When Valentino died in 1926, Monte went to Selznick International. Thirteen years later, he worked himself to death with the enormous makeup demands for Gone with the Wind (1939). "(from Wikipedia); Signed by Author. Very Good+ in Near Fine dust jacket .
