Nashville has a burgeoning fashion industry and a few good design schools that need fashion history courses, in my opinion! I have a Travilla gown in the store now (white sunburst pleat gown from the 70s) that will be on the red carpet at the premiere of Martin Scorcese's new film "The Wolf of Wall Street" next week! Time for people to see some true Hollywood glamour!Pura Vida Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371842533089692171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-16667527594887383002013-12-10T17:11:51.738-08:002013-12-10T17:11:51.738-08:00Hi Krystle!

I am THRILLED, absolutely THRILLED, to know that those dresses have found a home with someone who truly appreciates them. I know Christian and Kay (who commented here as well) do, too.

And happy to know that GlamAmor is helping you be a "smarty pants" (too cute). Yes, Travilla was really something--so many of these costume designers are, so I love being able to share their stories and work with you all.

I own a vintage clothing boutique in Nashville and I plan on first showcasing the 7 pieces in a fashion event during Nashville Fashion Week in April 2014. Know that these pieces are very important to me and educating the public and even those in the fashion industry about Travilla's incredible talent is of the utmost priority!<br /><br />God bless,<br />Krystle Ramos<br />Pura Vida Vintage<br />Nashville, TNPura Vida Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371842533089692171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-22655563429343830412013-12-10T15:07:19.945-08:002013-12-10T15:07:19.945-08:00I am one who knew nothing about Travilla's wor...I am one who knew nothing about Travilla's work, even though his designs are SO FAMOUS.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing all this info. Here's hoping the Kickstarter campaign is a success. The book looks like it has some fascinating photographs.<br /><br />You know, I never paid that much attention to costumes/wardrobe before I started reading your blog. I either liked a costume, or didn't. But this post is a great example of the education you provide – I had no idea Travilla would have gone to all the effort to make Jean Peters seem less "American". Brilliant!<br /><br />Now if I'm ever in a conversation about movie fashion, I pass along some of your info. It makes me look like such a smarty pants!Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-17591366227929765052013-12-05T08:34:41.853-08:002013-12-05T08:34:41.853-08:00Thank you, Christian!

As I half joke with friends, I wish the auction houses had an approval process that any buyer has to list how they plan to store any bought items, their intention behind buying it, etc. It's a dream of my own to have some sort of foundation to be able to save the best of the best because I completely agree with you--"it seems like we take one step forward and one step back in preserving costume design history."Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-4031144121827299432013-12-05T08:30:40.877-08:002013-12-05T08:30:40.877-08:00Thank you, Kay!

It's truly bizarre to me that Travilla is considered a lesser known costume designer when E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E knows his designs! lol I was thrilled to be able to talk with Ms. Ashley and find the opportunity to share Travilla's story.Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-36017770911462028912013-12-03T17:34:02.499-08:002013-12-03T17:34:02.499-08:00Thanks Kimberly for sharing Billy Travilla's w...Thanks Kimberly for sharing Billy Travilla's wonderful heritage. He was such a great designer for Marilyn and so many other stars of screen and television. It's been a mixed blessing for me to have his legacy go to auction (several auctions over the years). I've been able to get some of his sketches but I put my priority on another auction this time around and had to forego the last of his best work. His works did go however. And so while it wasn't destroyed like many other designers' work it still doesn't reside in an archive or institution. It seems like we take one step forward and one step back in preserving costume design history.Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-29586490728137002462013-12-03T10:12:17.482-08:002013-12-03T10:12:17.482-08:00What a great article!
