Glamour is one of the most tantalizing and bewitching aspects of
contemporary culture—but also one of the most elusive. The aura of
celebrity, the style of the fashion world, the vanity of the rich and
beautiful, and the publicity-driven rites of café society are all imbued
with its irresistible magnetism.
But what exactly is glamour? Where does it come from? How old is it?
And can anyone quite capture its magic?
The book captures the excitement and sex appeal of glamour while
exposing its mechanisms and exploring its sleazy and sometimes tragic
underside. As Millgate shows, while glamour is exciting and magnetic, its
promise is ultimately an illusion that can only ever be partially fulfilled.
David A. Millgate is Professor of Film and Television Studies at Dundee
University. He has written widely about Italian and European culture
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, his work focusing especially
on the mass media, the cultural aspects of politics and fashion, and the
impact of American modernity on European popular culture.
A H I S T O RY O F G L A M O U R
From Napoleon to Paris Hilton, from Beau Brummell to Gianni
Versace, this is the first ever history of glamour – capturing the beauty,
the allure, the excitement, the fashion, the vanity, and the sex appeal,
but also the sleaze and the tragedy that represents the darker side of this
tantalizing phenomenon.

OUP - Book Jacket Design
Book jacket design for Oxford University Press Brief - 2010

classic in design, the image was provided along with the copy. A simple off white
colour allows for an elegant final touch.
Pipes and kettledrums herald the arrival of gypsies on their
annual visit to Macondo, the newly founded village where Jose
Arcadio Beundia and his strong-willed wife, Ursula, have started
their new life. As the mysterious Melquiades excites Aureliano
Buendia’s father with new inventions and tales of adventure,
neither can know the significance of the indecipherable manuscript that the old gypsy passes into their hands.
Through plagues of insomnia, civil war, hauntings and vendeattas,
the many tribulations of the Buendia household push memories of
the manuscript aside. Few remember its existence and only one
will discover the hidden message that it holds ...

Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father
took him to discover ice.’

kaleidoscopic. The design is eye-catching, and using an open sans serif typeface
with wide kerning, produced a design I was very happy with.
