Description
Noted paper doll artist Tom Tierney captures the highlights of the prestigious designer’s career on this well-researched and scrupulously rendered paper doll collection. Three dolls, including a figure of the designer and two models, are accompanied by 28 different costumes –among them a Mondrian-inspired dress. a satin-trimmed tuxedo (the primary of St. Laurent’s “le smoking” evening ensembles), a day dress within the “trapeze” style, an Algerian-inspired outfit from the Rive Gauche collection, an astonishing wedding dress, humorously described as a “cocoon” of knitted wool, an evening dress incorporating a body sculpture of galvanized copper, and other formidable creatures.
An informative introduction and detailed descriptive notes accompany this lavish display of clothing in a brilliant tribute so we can delight students of costume design, fashion historians, and paper doll fans of every age.
