Reviews
"If you're searching for the stars, look no further. Pamella Roland: Dressing for the Spotlight has all the glitz and glam burning at the core of the City of Angels. Having dressed Hollywood's brightest and boldest from Paris Hilton to Vanessa Williams, the American designer is no stranger to inducing vestiary hypnosis among spectators. Oscillating between L.A., New York, and more mysterious, distant destinations, Pamella Roland: Dressing for the Spotlight reflects the empowerment that's woven into the elegance of her designs. In this deep dive into Roland's creative process, you'll find sketches and inspirational references. Unforgettable, too, are the striking photographs that conjure breathtaking red-carpet moments. Merely turn this volume's massive pages and the alchemy of the designer's creations generates an aura of opulence that moves from page to psyche." -V MAGAZINE
