Review "In this stunning blend of backstage memoir and portfolio, Carter recounts her unexpected journey from actress to theater costume assistant and her life-changing encounter with a young director named Spike Lee. Tasked with designing his second film, School Daze, Carter drew on her eye for creative detail, deep grounding in history, adventurous sense of color and texture, and dizzying work ethic. Carter and Lee collaborated on nine more films.... While it was the Black Panther movies that brought her wide popular acclaim, she reveled in her historical films, which allowed her to revisit family stories and to delve into period photography and poetry." --Booklist Starred Review"This definitive work makes visible the thought, care, and skill required of a successful film costumer.... Numerous anecdotes featuring well-known actors and filmmakers are woven throughout this conversational narrative. This book reveals the processes, including historical and cultural research and technical know-how, behind Carters most famous works.... The author comes across as the storyteller she is, both with her costumes and her words.... The pages are filled with fascinating original illustrations, stunning photographs, and eye-catching stills highlighting Carters artistry in full, glorious color." --Library Journal Starred Review Details ISBN1797203061 Author Ruth E.
