The latest fashions from the biggest names in couture hit the runway February 15th at the 77th Annual Academy Awards® Fashion Preview. Oscar fashion coordinator Patty Fox and 20 models previewed the glamour and sophistication fans can expect to see in the fashions worn by the nominees, presenters and guests attending this year's Oscar ceremony.
"The Oscar red carpet has become the largest fashion show in the world with each couture gown an individual work of art," Fox said. "Inside the theater the evening is all about film. But on the red carpet it's the look that counts."
Fox, author of the fashion books "Star Style" and "Star Style at the Academy Awards," recently visited the top New York design showrooms and selected gowns from some of the biggest names in fashion to feature in the preview. This year, Fox also endeavored to identify and bring to light some of the hottest and most promising designers currently hitting the fashion scene.
Designers included in the preview were Bill Blass, Kevan Hall, Halston, Douglas Hannant, Morgane Le Fay, Monique Lhuillier, Luca Luca, Isaac Mizrahi and Valentino.
A team of expert hair stylists and make-up artists from Roy Teeluck Salon prepared the models for their high-fashion stroll down the runway constructed for this occasion.
Diamonds courtesy of Chopard, Martin Katz and Harry Winston provided the finishing touches to the glamour of the preview.
Academy Awards® for outstanding film achievements of 2004 will be televised live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood by the ABC Television Network. Information about the 77th Academy Awards can be accessed on the World Wide Web at www.oscar.com.
