From the studio of the world famous theatrical and fashion designer Erte come these fabulous designs and the six sophisticated fashion paper dolls who were made to wear them. Never before has so famous a designer fashioned complete wardrobes for a book of paper dolls. The gowns, coats, hats and accessories for every season are striking and elegant and come complete with tassels, long trains, fur muffs, capes, sashes, eccentric pockets and other extravagant flourishes - all the well-known trademarks of Erte, rendered in full color according to his specific instructions. Each doll has her own wardrobe, with 43 costumes in all. Cut out the dolls and all their outfits and you not only have a panorama of costume design of the early 20th century, but a valuable collection of the works of one of the world's foremost designers.
The highly stylized fashion artwork by famed designer/illustrator Erté has come to symbolize fashion fantasy in the early years of the 20th Century, notably the advent of Art Deco. The Russian-born French artist designed costumes, stage sets, graphic arts and interiors, all stylized with exaggerated grace. Contemporary artist, Norma Lu Meehan has re-envisioned, in her authentically realistic style, six of Erte's most extravagantly imagined garments and accessories. This beautiful black-and-white book features two paper dolls to wear the creations with style and grace, emphasizing this merger of two extraordinary talents, Erté himself and Norma Lu Meehan. A 6-page collector's edition with a limited printing of 250 copies.
