Marilyn Monroe is one of the most cherished film stars and celebrated icons of American popular culture. The intrigue that surrounds her life and death continues to fascinate us today as the centenary of her birth approaches. This book follows the narrative of Marilyn’s life through a chronology of her 30 films and the stories behind the scenes. From her early days as Norma Jeane and her roles in films such as Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (1948) to her scene-stealing characters in movies such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), she cemented a career as one of the most popular stars in the world. From romantic comedies and musicals to setting up her own production company, she never failed to captivate audiences. However, this was not without its challenges and Marilyn’s personal struggles intensified in the later years, particular with films such as Let’s Make Love (1960) and Misfits (1961). Through 9 chapters and 4 standalone ‘breakout’ spreads on themes such as the costume designs of Travilla and Jean Louis, this is a tribute to her legacy. With a beautiful design and stunning images, this book is a celebration of the image and style of Marilyn through her life and the stories behind the movies she made.

A tribute to and examination of the contributions of costume designers to Hitchcock’s illustrious film career. With his keen artist’s eye, Alfred Hitchcock’s genius as a director lay in the visual universe he developed across a six-decade career. In the many unforgettable moments from his movies, it’s the costume that enhances the storytelling; Tippi Hedren cowering from a mass of angry birds in her torn green dress, Cary Grant in a glen-check suit as he escapes a crop duster, and Kim Novak emerging from green mist in her ghost-like gray suit. In Fashioning Hitchcock, Caroline Young details Hitchcock’s relationships with his costume designers to create an identifiable aesthetic through clothing. Using archival material, Young paints the full picture of the use of costume in Hitchcock’s movies, and his key relationships with designers, producers, and actors to delve into the visual language, the obsessions, and the quest for beauty that defined his six-decade career. While the legendary Edith Head designed twelve of his fifty-five films, Hitchcock also worked with some of the most celebrated of costume designers. But with his clear focus, from the beginning of his career Hitchcock worked hands-on to shape the style of his leading ladies, heroes and villains. For Hitchcock, clothes were a tool for suspense. In North by Northwest, Eva Marie Saint’s shawl catches on brambles as she tries to escape pursuers. Tippi Hedren’s taupe shoe slips from her pocket in Marnie in her efforts to sneak out of an office after robbing the safe. Young also touches on how Hitchcock set out to appeal to a female audience, revealing his leading ladies’ wants and desires as they navigated their place in the world. This is an essential addition to any Hitchcock fan’s bookshelf and insightful exploration of the role of costume design in filmmaking.

From punk provocateur to celebrity couturier, Vivienne Westwood was one of the most influential artists of recent times. A true original who used clothes to express her ethos, often fusing anti-establishment values with high-end, corseted visuals. As an emerging designer in the seventies, Westwood, together with her then-partner Malcolm McLaren, was a key architect of the anarchic aesthetic known as punk, worn most notably by McLaren's band the Sex Pistols. Safety pins, ripped clothes, visible seams and bondage trousers were made to shock, but also to instigate change; a theme that permeated Westwood's work. From punk, Westwood looked to art and history, drawing inspiration for her Pirate collection and New Romantic outfits of the eighties, before closing out the decade with parodies of the upper classes in her now iconic bustle skirts and 'mini-crini' crinolines. In 1992, she received an OBE for her services to fashion design, topping it up in 2006 with a Damehood. Revered by royalty and rock stars alike, her eponymous label - now overseen by creative director Andreas Kronthaler, Westwood's husband since 1992 - still resonates with celebrity clients worldwide. Fully illustrated throughout, Vivienne Westwood: Provocateur chronicles the celebrated fashion designer's style, life and legacy.

A lively, sharp and thought-provoking exploration of the enduring stereotype of the dangerous single woman in popular culture. From the obsessive 'bunny boiler' of Fatal Attraction to the tabloid frenzy over Taylor Swift’s relationship status, Caroline Young explores how single women have so often been portrayed as unstable, dangerous, or incomplete. Blending cultural criticism with her own personal experience, Young examines how these stereotypes have been shaped by broader social trends, including the antifeminist backlash of the 1980s and the current renaissance of the ‘trad-wife’. Through her analysis of books, movies, and TV shows, she reveals how these narratives reflect deeper anxieties about women’s independence. Engaging, witty, fun and feminist, Single and Psycho is a timely critique of how society views single women – and a celebration of their complexity and resilience.
