Who inspired Marilyn Monroe’s signature bombshell look?

What did Jane Fonda wear to protest the Vietnam War?

Why was Halle Berry’s 2001 dress pitch perfect for her Oscar win?

CAFA's friend and guest teacher, Dijanna Mulhearn, has launched a new book! Red Carpet Oscars presents over ninety years of fashion worn at the event since its inception in 1929, charting what the stars wore and why.

From homemade and pre-loved dresses to ready-to-wear and haute couture, it tracks the style evolution of Hollywood's leading stars, the commercialisation of the red carpet and the radical shifts that reshaped formal dressing.

Naturally, we're immensely proud of Dijanna and can't recommend her new book highly enough. Fingers crossed, we will be lucky enough to offer her Personal Styling Workshop again soon.

Read the New York Times review of Red Carpet Oscars here.

Then head to your favourite bookshop to pick up your very own copy. 

Congratulations Dijanna!
