American cinema exuded glamour with all of the iconic screen stars during the 1930s and 40s, such as Hedy Lamarr, Greta Garbo, and Norma Shearer. This exhibit is a marvelous example of this Hollywood period, featuring clothing, hats, gloves, furs, and hundreds of compacts. There are many wonderful fashion illustrations on display by Edith Head. Head was one of the world\u2019s greatest costume designers and was known for introducing new silhouettes with her fashion designs.<\/p>\n Other women who influenced glamour of the age were Elizabeth Arden who was an entrepreneur in cosmetics and Red Door spas. Hattie Carnegie was a milliner originally and is credited as the creator of \u201cready to wear.\u201d Madam C.J. Walker began with a preparation for hair and is regarded as the first female self-made millionaire in America. Helena Rubenstein is known for her advances in beauty care.<\/p>\n This exhibit answers the question: Does glamour empower women?
