Synopsis
Harnessing the romance of the world of fashion and high art, this fascinating story of a collection of miniature mannequins describes the birth of Theatre de la Mode, the Theater of Fashion. Full of stars such as Robert Ricci (Nina Ricci's son), filmmaker Jean Cocteau, and other members of the 1944 haute couture industry, the story follows 237 miniature fashion dolls through their epic tour of Europe and North America, bringing fashion, elegance, and beauty into a war-torn world. Also included are new colour photographs of the mannequins, the reconstructed sets, and close-up details of clothing so sewers, designers, and fashion mavens can appreciate the creativity of Paris designers at the end of World War II., Harnessing the romance of the world of fashion and high art, this fascinating story of a collection of miniature mannequins describes the birth of Thé'tre de la Mode, the Theater of Fashion.

    (same review for all 7 books) The seller responded quickly & the 7 books shipped fast! They were packed in a mylar-type bag, but wrapped tight within it, with larger books on the outside: so there was no shifting intransit and all arrived safe. (Thanks for the extra care.) The books are exactly as described/depicted - except one is a different version... but it's in good shape and in this case I didn't mind the switch. This was a good value, and cause, and I recommend them to others. Thank you!
