Designs of the Eighties,
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Eighties Paper Dolls (Paper Doll Series) (Paperback)
As someone who worked in the fashion industry during the late eighties, I was disappointed with these paper dolls by Tom Tierney. The illustrations are good, but not of the same standard as his other fashion paper dolls.
There are more misses than hits in the selection of outfits. The suede blouson with flowing skirt by Donna Karan and the floral, ruffled dress by Unagro are two of the (very few)highlights. There are a number of designs which are neither typical of the decade nor of the specific designer's work. Lacroix was at the forefront of the extravagant, colorful "conspicuous consumption" trend, yet his work is represented by a dull grey suit. The designer renowned for his architectural tailoring, Claude Montana, is represented by an odd dress and pants ensemble in violet, yellow and blue. Yves Saint-Laurent was hugely influential in the first half of the decade, but you wouldn't know it judging by this book. These are just three examples of the flaws in selection of designs for this book. Buy it if you collect Tom Tierney's paper dolls, but don't expect too much.
