Théâtre de la Mode 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 up a world of wearing apparel that was “perfection in miniature,” and not lacking a single exquisite detail for which the great haute couture Parisian houses are world famous. The Théâtre de la Mode, permanently housed and preserved by the caring hands of Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, Washington since 1952, lives as one of the most important collections of couture finery and masterworks in the world. Regina Wentworth, traveling to the austere beauty of the Columbia Gorge in Washington State, often drew upon the inspirations of the extraordinary silhouettes and themes in the collection. Tyler Wentworth®, admirer of the retrospective and great innovator of new style from vintage art, follows her aunt’s passions by creating breathtaking beauty inspired by the dramatic masters of the Théâtre de la Mode.

Fantasia
- 2004
forward glancing, blue
eyes; brunette hair The purest of fantasies in
a composition of multi-colored wavy horizontal bands in the skirt and a
pink charmeuse fitted wrapover bodice with beaded epaulets. Between each
band, zigzag embroidery separates the layers in metallic silver. Crowning
this glory is a beaded tiara with delicate embroidery.
(Strawberry blonde hair;
blue eyes; bending arms)
(Sable hair, green eyes, bending arms) An inspiration of tailoring and clean lines is represented in the sport ensemble of cream pants and sage jacket with matching waistcoat and shoes. The hat is truly remarkable in coordinating fabric and trimmed to perfection in net and feathers.
Améthyste - 2003 (Jet-black hair; blue eyes; bending arms) This fantasy ball gown recalls gala nights gone by with sweeping dances in dark purple satin, accentuated with pale blue and pink sashes. The voluminous skirt is supported by an elaborate petticoat underneath. Faux suede gloves reflect those of the original in a soft powder pink.
C'est la
Fête - 2002 (Rust hair; blue eyes; bending arms) This doll may still be available exclusively through the United Federation of Doll Clubs; click here for ordering information.
Le Petit Ensemble Noir - 2002 (Variegated brunette/red hair; blue eyes; bending arms)
Reflet
d'Argent - 2002 (Red hair; blue eyes; bending arms)
Soir de
Fête (Red hair w/strawberry blonde hair; blue eyes; bending arms)
Fleurs du Mal - 2001 (Wheat blonde hair; blue eyes; original arms) A daring sarcasm of ‘evil flowers’ over a draped column of candy-pink silk crepe speaks to the use of dark and light in wearing apparel. This gown exhibits a blooming black embroidered bodice in illusion with short cap sleeves above the asymmetrical skirt with a sumptuously pleated side back. Rising majestically above the composition is a tall fez of black feathers.
Longchamp Fleuri (Red hair; blue eyes; bending arms) The Theatre led a strong following of women in love with the freshness and contrasts used in the house’s daywear. Drawing themes from couture ideals, this grey wool suit lined in mauve silk pulls dancing embroidered violets into the collar and corselet skirt. Off-centered themes continue to speak through the ensemble’s waistline, hip treatments and the floating bow above the broad-brimmed straw hat.
Framboise Robe du Grande
Soir (Brunette hair; blue eyes; bending arms) She is the grandest of gowns inspired by an undisputed mastery of cut. In shimmering raspberry extravagance, the tiny collar and narrow sleeves contrast against the full skirt with delicate embroidery to unite the silhouette at a tiny waistline. A sweet pillbox in matching embroidery tops this elegant and regal vision. Did you know? 50 advance pieces of this doll were made for FAO Schwarz for their 2001 Holiday Catalog...although it did not include a certificate, the doll is identifiable by the beading that appears on the back of the doll. The primary production run did not bead the reverse side of this doll's dress.
