Gowns by Adrian: The MGM Years 1928-1941

New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc.. Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.2001). First Edition. Hardcover. [beautiful, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to book; the jacket has just a touch of wear along the top and bottom edges, which essentially disappear inside a new mylar protective jacket cover]. (B&W and color photographs, facsimiles) "The first comprehensive look at this prodigiously talented designer in his glory years at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The result of more than 10 years of research, access to prevously unavailable MGM personnel files, and containing many unpublished photographs and complete filmography, [this book] brings us into the design studio and onto the sound stage and makes us privy to the everyday give-and-take between designer and star." Among the many MGM stars for whom Adrian designed were Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, and Jean Harlow. .
