This book highlights and showcases many of Adrian great costume and fashion designs from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Hollywood Dinner Party, Circa 1933.She was uniquely and undeniably beautiful, radiating a style unlike anything 1930s movie audiences had ever seen.  In "Dinner at Eight," one of the great screen comedies of manners, Jean Harlow took Hollywood by storm. She is at her most beautiful, mixing girlish innocence with brash sexiness.  She was put in the artistic hands of costume designer Adrian, and it was a match made in heaven.  Harlow wore shimmering satin like no one else, to stun, to wow, to dazzle.  It was the making of the most iconic actress of the Hollywood classic films era.The cinematic Art Deco coupe, inspired by high-society dinner parties of the 1930s, is quintessential Harlow, sassy and vivacious with seductive stature and romantic innuendo.  Each Art Deco, artisan-crafted stem is complemented by an extra-wide bowl, perfect for "opening up" the aromatic qualities of craft cocktails.  True to the sophisticated, smaller-size coupes of an earlier era, they are fun to hold, fun to sip.  Excellent for dinner parties or any occasion where glamour is requested.  Offered in a Gift Box Set of 2, for keeping or giving.
