The
Mamie Van Doren Paper Doll makes a perfect gift! |
| Mamie wants you to dress her in couturier gowns! The elegant gowns she wore dancing with Eves Montand...the drop dead frock she wore as Henry Kissenger's date at a White House dinner with President Nixon, and more. |

In the course of his career, which started in window display, he has designed jewelry, bridal veils, millinery, dresses, and has taught fashion classes at a Southern California art museum. Donald says, "Paper dolls are my most personal work and are a lighthearted tribute to my own career and to other artists whose work I admire." |
Mamie's Favorite Hollywood Costume Designer
Edith Head won nine Academy Awards. (The photograph below was taken before she won the last one. She was Mamie's favorite costume designer (and everyone else's!), and called Mamie her "Diamond Blonde." It was reported in Variety that when asked which actresses possessed the best bodies she had ever dressed, Edith replied, "Jean Wallace and Mamie Van Doren." Edith made all of Mamie's costumes in white. Some of them are shown below. The photos with Edith/Mamie and Mamie/Gable are Circa 1958.
