Art Nouveau Paper Dolls

The Art Nouveau movement during 1890-1910 inspired a then-new design esthetic for everything from architecture and furniture to fine art and jewelry. It was characterized by the undulating, curvilinear lines found in peacock feathers, vines, flowers, windswept clouds and flowing waters. In this beautiful new Art Nouveau paper doll book, artist Norma Lu Meehan expresses the grace that defines the period with 20 exquisitely rendered fashions for two elegant figures. The costumes include styles seen in paintings by artists such as Leon Bakst, fashion designers including Paul Poiret, Lucille, Jeanne Paquin and Fortuny; screen and stage costumes from My Fair Lady and Downton Abbey. This lovely paper doll book captures the elegance of Art Nouveau for collectors, fashion historians and those who appreciate art.
