Contributor biographical information

Contents:

Introduction : fabricating affluence / Joseph Rosa -- A golden world / Virginia Postrel -- Fashion / Valerie Steele -- Industrial design / Phil Patton -- Architecture / Joseph Rosa.

Review: "... this catalogue radically revises our understanding of glamour in the fields of fashion, industrial design, and architecture. Tracing glamour's trajectory from Hollywood's golden age to its present-day connotations of affluence, this lavishly illustrated volume presents a striking array of postwar couture, jewelry, automobile, furniture, and built and unbuilt architecture - all of which share an affinity for richly decorative patterning, complex layering, and sumptuous materials."--Book jacket.
