Una aguda reflexión sobre el fenómeno social en el que se ha convertido la cultura del skincare.La cara se ha convertido en una superficie de control, en la prueba del tiempo... o de su negación.

An introduction to the career of Travis Banton, one of the preeminent costume/fashion designers of Hollywoods Celebrated Golden Age. Working at Paramount Pictures from 1925 through 1938, Banton was responsible for creating the on-screen images of such legendary actresses as Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, Mae West, and most notably Marlene Dietrich. His peers were Gilbert Adrian at MGM and Orry-Kelly at Warner Brothers; one of his proteges was the legendary designer Edith Head. Eschewing a potentially lucrative legal career, Banton attended the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, the first school in New York City to offer courses in fashion design. This led to positions with the most famous and successful couturieres of the day, the British Lady Duff-Gordon and Madame Frances who, despite her name, lived and worked in the United States. They both served as a training ground for Bantons eventual move to Paramount Pictures in 1925. This celebration of his career and achievements is long overdue.
