"This book offers a framework for understanding fashion at the Oscars and precise details that establish fashion as one part of a complex system. It can be enjoyed cover-to-cover, but is equally important as a reference tool for anyone conducting interdisciplinary research in the fields of fashion, film and media studies, or advertising.--Emily Stoehrer ""The Journal of Dress History"" This important study advances our understanding of the historical, cultural, economic, and performative functions of fashion in modern life and everyday consciousness. Elizabeth Castaldo Lund�n reveals how the red-carpeting of global culture still is expanding through established and newly innovated transmedia platforms. The study is a history of the Academy Awards observed through the lenses of fashion, celebrity, and media. Additionally, it refocuses on unexpected areas, such as the surprisingly crucial function of the anonymous fans who populate the bleachers aside the red carpet. The exemplary, meticulous, research utilizes original documents available only in the Academy's archives. The depth and breadth of this scholarship are unparalleled.--Donald Crafton, University of Notre Dame"
