'The Man Who Dressed Hollywood'

Over the years the name 'Travilla' has become synonymous with glamour and style. William Travilla was an Oscar-winner (and multiple nominee) for his costume design from the 1940's through to the mid-1980's. He dressed everyone from Errol Flynn to Ann Margaret, and even the cast of Dallas. But he is most famous for his numerous collaborations with Marilyn Monroe in the mid 50's, creating some of her most famous costumes in such films as 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes', 'How To Marry A Millionaire' and THAT white dress in 'The Seven Year Itch'.

And now, for the first time, Five Dollar Shake have teamed up with Eaglecrown Productions Ltd and Legend Licensing LLC for a range of exquisite cards featuring some of Travilla's most popular designs.

Tis' the Season...to be gorgeous! December 5th 2009

We were once again very pleased to be asked to participate in the department store, John Lewis on Oxford Street's very own V.I.P (very important pedestrian) Day. The day saw Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street open to pedestrian's only. To say the store, one of the largest stockists of quality greetings cards in the capital was busy would be the understatement of the year! Our designer, Beth Genower and colleagues Hayley and Laura were on hand to demonstrate the dexterity and nimble-fingered-ness required to make some of our handmade cards from scratch. On top of that, some very special bespoke and personalised Christmas cards were made for lots of John Lewis customers to give to their very own VIP's for Christmas.

Five Dollar Shake on TV

On Thursday December 11th 2008, BBC1's 'THE ONE SHOW' ran a feature on the history of Christmas cards. Five Dollar Shake were lucky enough to be asked to appear in the show. Former cricketer and 'I'm a Celebrity...' winner Phil Tufnell brought a camera crew down to the Five Dollar offices for a day of filming.
