Samantha's Collectible Dolls, Bears & Gifts Presents:
Robert Tonner - Tyler Wentworth Collection
With a world in
restoration and a city in great need, the couturiers of Paris banded together
after World War II to create one of the most telling and fully complete
representations of fashion splendor. The 1945 showing of the Théâtre de la Mode
opened a world of wearing apparel perfection in miniature, but not lacking a
single detail known of the great haute couture Parisian houses. Now permanently
housed since 1952 and preserved by the caring hands of Maryhill Museum of Art in
Goldendale, Washington, the Théâtre de la Mode lives as one of the most
important collections of couture finery and masterworks in the world. Traveling
to the austere beauty of the Columbia Gorge in Washington State, Regina
Wentworth often drew upon the inspirations of silhouettes and themes in the
collection. An admirer of the retrospective and an innovator of new style from
vintage art, Tyler Wentworth® follows in her great-aunt’s passions by creating
breath-taking beauty inspired by the dramatic masters of the Théâtre de la Mode.
