1900s-1930s Fashions

The early decades of the 20th century saw the birth of modern fashion and these important years are captured in dozens of nostalgic paper doll books. Some are charming vintage reprints while others are contemporary publications by today’s artists. A wealth of subjects begins with sweetly old-fashioned paper dolls in the Art Nouveau period before WWI, into the Jazz Age roaring twenties and on to the streamlined Art Deco inspirations of the flirty thirties. The selection of paper dolls range from adorable children to sophisticated ladies, from home bodies to Hollywood stars, all waiting to be cut-out and dressed in wardrobes of vintage styles, a fun way to learn about fashion history.
