The Libbey Dolls: Fashioning the Story
October 28, 2016 - February 12, 2017 - This exhibition will explore the extraordinary story of this collection while showcasing French fashion design and the strong connection between fashion and the art world. The Libbey Dolls, formerly known as the Doucet Dolls, were the product of the World War I aid effort. The porcelain factories at Limoges and Sèvres aided in the recovery by putting wounded soldiers, outof-work artisans and young men back to work making French novelties. Out of their production came this collection of 78 fashion figures, depicting French style from A.D. 493 to 1915.
