Kerronpa ihan ensimm\u00e4isen\u00e4 ett\u00e4 olen ollut n. 10 vuotiaasta asti Marilyn-fani. Ker\u00e4ilin kuvia lehdist\u00e4 ja ostelin v\u00e4h\u00e4isist\u00e4 viikkorahoista marilyn-tavaraa. Vanhan faniuden innoittaman varmaankin ostin taannoin her\u00e4teostoksena Andrew Hansfordin kirjan Dressing Marilyn – How a Hollywood Icon was styled by Travilla<\/a>. Kirjakaupan hyllyll\u00e4 tehdyll\u00e4 nopealla vilkaisulla kirja n\u00e4ytti olevan t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 upeita v\u00e4rikuvia William Travillan Marilynille suunnittelemista puvuista.<\/p>\n

Nyt olen lueskellut kirjaa iltasella ennen nukkumaanmenoa ja vau mik\u00e4 aarre se onkaan! Kirjan kirjoittaja Andrew, joka huolehtii nykyisin William Travillan suunnitteluperinn\u00f6st\u00e4, valtavasta m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4st\u00e4 alkuper\u00e4isi\u00e4 luonnoksia, kaavoja ja pukuja, kuvailee pukuja yksityiskohtaisemmin kuin kukaan miss\u00e4\u00e4n aiemmin. H\u00e4n paljastaa koko joukon rakenteellisia pieni\u00e4 salaisuuksia jotka voi selvitt\u00e4\u00e4 vain tutkimalla pukuja l\u00e4hiet\u00e4isyydelt\u00e4. Kirja kokoaa yhteen pienen palan elokuvan historiaa ja siihen sis\u00e4ltyvi\u00e4 kinnostavia yksityiskohtia kuten sen ett\u00e4 monet Marilynille elokuviin suunnitelluista puvuista olivat niin tiukasti istuvia ett\u00e4 ne piti ommella h\u00e4nen p\u00e4\u00e4lleen. Se on samalla tositarina Travillan uskomattomasta lahjakkuudesta ja rakkaudesta pukuihin.<\/p>\n

Kirja on koottu muutamasta Marilynin elokuvissa k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4st\u00e4, ikoneiksi muodostuneesta puvusta mukaanlukien kuuluista valkoinen halterneck-vekkipuku, sis\u00e4lt\u00e4en paljon ennen julkaisematonta kuvamateriaalia. Suosittelen kirjaa Marilyn-faneille, Hollywoodin kultakaudesta kiinnostuneille sek\u00e4 pukuompelijoille jotka haluavat oppia lis\u00e4\u00e4. En ole p\u00e4\u00e4ssyt kirjassa viel\u00e4 edes puoliv\u00e4liin ja olen jo oppinut huimasti lis\u00e4\u00e4 omasta alastani. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 my\u00f6s loistava joululahja-idea itselle tai yst\u00e4v\u00e4lle!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

IN ENGLISH<\/strong><\/span>
\nFirst I have to tell you that I have been Marilyn-fan since I was about 10 years old. I collected pictures from magazines and with the little week allowance I got, I bought Marilyn-merchandice. Lured by my old idol I recently made impulse buy and got myself Andrew Hansford’s book Dressing Marilyn – How a Hollywood Icon was styled by Travilla<\/a>. Based on quick look in the book shop book seemed to be full of gorgeous photos of dresses William Travilla designed for Marilyn.<\/p>\n

Now I have been reading the book at nights before going to bed and wow what a treasure that is! Andrew, the author of the book who is now also the curator for William Travilla estate, including large amount of original patterns, scetches and dresses, describes these dresses more detailed than anyone ever before. He reveals loads of little structural secrets that can be found out only by handling the dresses. This book introduces to you a small piece of movie history and interesting little details like the fact that many of dresses Marilyn wore in the movies were so figure hugging they had to be sewn on her. It is also a true story of Travilla’s amazing talent and love for costumes.<\/p>\n

Book tells the story behind couple iconic dresses worn by Marilyn in the movies, including famous white pleated halterneck dress. Book also includes lot of never before published material. I recommend this book to Marilyn fans, for those who are interested in Golden Age of Hollywood and seamstresses who want to learn more. I’m barely halfway and I have already learned a lot more about my field. This is also great idea for christmas gift, either for yourself or for your friend!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
