OverviewForeword by Joan Collins Mario Casilli's photographs defined the fabulous and outrageous entertainment industry in the 1980s. His larger-than-life portraits, featuring his trademark backlighting and bright colour palette, captured everyone from Joan Collins in glittering jewels, Dolly Parton in perfectly coiffed grandeur and the Bee Gees in sleeveless leather. Also full cast shots of iconic television shows like Dynasty, Dallas, Knight Rider and Miami Vice. Casilli was a magnificently talented photographer who captured this exciting, fun and over-the-top decade like no other. This wonderful coffee table volume brings Casilli's 1980s portraits alive for the first time. The crisp, clean design is accompanied by a foreword by Joan Collins, text by best-selling author, Peter Doggett, and an essay on 1980s style by fashion writer, June Marsh.
