Galluba and Hofmann High Fashion And High Drama

Galluba and Hofmann High Fashion And High Drama, from the Lou and Susan Nunez Collection, with Michael Canadas. Prepare to be inspired! Courtesy of Lou and Susan Nunez, we explore a collection of fine Galluba and Hofmann dolls. We drop in on a seated group of finely dressed and coiffed Galluba and Hofmann ladies enjoying their coffee circa 1912-1913. Michael discusses the original costumes including lace dresses, and picture hats creating the popular "T" silhouette of the day, We discuss the small-scale facial painting used on the dolls, the crimped wigs with a loose bun, and molded accessories including a fan, teacup, and open book. These dolls were not toys, but decorative art items. We then meet a group of true fashion dolls from a slightly later era; the dolls, dressed in a column silhouette, were literally mannequins used to sell clothing and accessories. They featured more expressive faces with visible make up, Michael attributes this to the influence of the cinema and dovetails with the rise of the make up industry. These dolls could be purchased and put on a dressing table. Some fashion dolls retain labels and we are fortunate that one in this group does - and it reads Madame Lucile. Madame Lucile, whose actual name was Lady Duff Gordon had shops in London, New York & Paris, and was an early (possibly first) adopter of live fashion shows. However she was defamed by her conduct surrounding the scarce lifeboats on the Titanic.
