8.75" x 11", 112 page hardcover with dustjacket titled GRACE KELLY STYLE by H. Kristina Haugland/ V A Publishing, ISBN # 978-1-85177-599-6, First Printing, Copyright 2014/ A beautiful book in which Haugland captures Grace's effortlessly chic style. Although she made her mark as an Old Hollywood icon, Grace Kelly soon exchanged the alluring ash-bulb lights and glamour of the silver screen for the regal principality of Monaco, when she became its princess on the 18th April 1956. After her successful Hollywood debut, Grace became an icon of the silver-screen, appearing in many of Alfred Hitchcock?s beloved films, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder and To Catch A Thief, alongside beloved male co-stars such as Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, William Holden, and more. Haugland's book traces the development of Grace's style throughout her time in Hollywood and emergence as the princess of Monaco. Grace?s entrance in Hitchcock?s Rear Window, immortalized her image as an ethereal style icon. Clothed in an elegant pair of crystal white gloves and her ?Paris? dress, which consists of a white tulle skirt, cinched in at the waist with a black bodice, her presence as Lisa Fremont echoed Dior?s New Look of 1955. As Jimmy Stewart's character, L.B Jefferies expresses: ?She?s too talented. She?s too beautiful. She?s too sophisticated...? Grace understood how to hold and present herself in the garments she wore. They never overpowered or wore her and with a childhood of ballet training by her side, Grace was equipped with the posture and elegance which helped her whilst wearing designs by designers like Helen Rose and Christian Dior but also for her infamous film roles. The book is complete and in FINE or better condition with some overall light wear.
