Description

Introduced on a grand scale on the 1925 Paris International Exposition, the new Art Deco style expressed modernity and new technologies that were changing the world. Within the realm of fashion, it was once the new “chic,” representing glamour, luxury, and a sleek style. Tom Tierney captures fashion highlights from that period on this spectacular paper doll review.
Two dolls and 28 costumes center of attention on an array of dramatic creations by outstanding designers of the early twentieth century. Included are a fur-trimmed cloak with an abstract brand new design by Paul Poiret; a tightly pleated and richly colored gown by Mariano Fortuny; Helen Dryden’s day dress in stark zebra stripes; a daring, two-piece knit swimsuit, featuring a bare midriff; in addition to dramatic designs by Sonia Delaunay, Jeanne Lanvin, Coco Chanel, and other noted designers. An additional page features hats of the period — the whole thing from an exotic Poiret turban to Schiaparelli’s novel “shoe” hat.
An exciting display of elegant style and cool sophistication, this collection is not going to only delight paper doll fans but may even thrill collectors and devotees of Art Deco.
