From the 1920s to the 1960s, Rene Hubert (1895-1976) belonged to
the creme de la creme of costume designers. He designed costumes
for stars such as Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, Marlon Brando,
Yul Brynner, Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and
Marilyn Monroe in one of her first roles. Shirley Temple danced the
hula in the film Curly Top wearing a grass skirt ensemble designed
by Hubert; he was especially closely associated with Gloria
Swanson, who encouraged him to relocate to Los Angeles when she met
him in Paris in 1924. Hubert consented, and soon found himself
working with directors Rene Clair, Alfred Hitchcock and Otto
Preminger, elevating their stars with his flair for opulent color
and elegant lines. Hubert's international reputation helped him to
win commissions in his native Switzerland, most notably for the
Swiss National Exhibition in 1939, for Swissair uniforms and
aircraft interiors, and for various theaters and textile companies.
This richly illustrated publication compiles sketches, costume
photography, stage photos and film stills of Hubert's work. Experts
from both sides of the Atlantic reflect on his multifaceted oeuvre
at his numerous workplaces in Switzerland, Europe and the US.
Excerpts from his unpublished memoirs provide a personal view of
his life and the glamor of the era.
