2008 Gene
This
year all of our stars are getting the deluxe color
treatment starting with the ‘Color Deal’ girls.
For all you collectors who have
wanted more color in the collection, we’ve created a group
of dolls and fashions for Gene and her friends inspired by
the color-saturated productions of the early 1950s. From
basic dolls up, we’ve cornered the color-wheel with our
‘Color Deal’. The focus of our first mini-collection this
year is Madra Lord, finally getting the star billing she so
richly deserves with our ‘Postcard From Cannes’ suite.
We’re presenting Madra during the early 1930s as a major
star in her own right, long before Gene Marshall accidently
steals her spotlight. Dressed in a collection of achingly
beautiful 30s’ styles, Madra sports fashions that range from
dressy slacks and hats to drop-dead gorgeous evening
ensembles. Throw in a few furs and a liberal dose of
diamante’ and you’ve got a “Postcard From Cannes” that
you’ll save forever.
Black Calla

FASHION ONLY
Black Calla is a dramatic 1930s’ evening suit, long
and lean like the sculptural blossom that is its
namesake. The fitted jacket is cut of black faille
and finished with satin cuffs and tapered waistband.
The skirt is a form-fitting column of black satin,
tapered through the thighs and flared into an inky
black train. A sparkling white georgette blouse is
long-sleeved with ruffles at the cuffs and collar,
looking like nothing so much as bouquets of calla
lilies. This lavishly ruffled neckline rests upon
the circular faille lapels of the trim top. A
“diamond” broach is worn at the bodice and matches
the glittering earrings and hair clip. Black pumps,
trimmed at the toes with jewels, are the finishing
touch to Black Calla’s ultra-sleek sophistication. |

C'est Moi Madra
Lord
|
|
DRESSED DOLL
“C’est Moi” was one of the first things Madra Lord
learned to say in France… and somehow it always
seemed to apply. How could you blame Madra for
thinking that people were looking at and talking
about her, especially when she was dressed in this
absolute symphony of cool grey tones? Starting at
the top, the one hot note in the piece, Madra wears
a marcel-waved titian bob, curling over the bow at
the neckline of her georgette blouse. Over this
lovely teal blouse is worn a form fitting dove grey
satin jacket and a lavish display of silver fox
pelts. Grey ribbon-laced oxfords peek from under the
generous cuffs of the pastel and grey woolen plaid
slacks. Repeatedly that day, Madra was photographed
with one of her black-gloved hands dramatically
touching the pearl earrings or the matching choker
she wore. Cameras always loved Madra and she
returned the favor.

Color Deal
-
The Color Deal girls are studies in variation on a
basic 1950s’ silhouette. Dressed in brightly toned
twill afternoon dresses of intricate cut and simple
shape, our girls – Ivy, Gene, and Madra – are the
clear-cut winners in this deal. Basically, our girls
are exploring three versions of volume. All three
women are wearing color-coordinated jewel-toned
earrings and are accessorized with sparkling white
lace-up mules, gloves, and scarves. These dresses
are so beautifully cut as to be classic.

DRESSED DOLL
Madra gets self-conscious about how sensational she
looks in this emerald green pencil-thin sheath. With
an intricately cut and tailored bodice topping a
fitted skirt, Madra is the picture of
daytime-into-cocktail-hour chic. Her flaming red
hair and soft green eye shadow, along with the
daring cutout at her neckline, explain the cool to
hot range of emotions contained within this package.

- Golden Riviera Madra Lord
Gift Set
|
|
 
DRESSED DOLL GIFT SET
What do you wear for a casual day in one of the
dressiest places on earth? If you’re Madra Lord, we
suggest it would be something like our Golden
Riviera collection. After a morning of sunbathing au
natural, you start your afternoon on the balcony in
a beautifully draped sleeveless satin top and
slender pants the shade of the deep pink
bougainvillea spilling from the trellis. For a
leisurely stroll to a late lunch, you slip into
sparkling white oxfords trimmed with golden buckles
and a quilted satin coat, gored at the waist,
buttoned down the front and flared into the shape of
a child’s drawing of a dress. You carry your
daffodil yellow cloche in case there’s a breeze.
Lunch can last for hours and you have just enough
time to slip home and into the sweetest white dress,
sleeveless and pleated into a horizontal chevron at
the dropped waist. You add a recently acquired pearl
and jewel choker to your neckline and your early
evening ensemble is ready for card-playing
ex-patriots and cocktails. Someone suggests dinner
on his yacht, so you throw on a golden cardigan,
spangled in sequins and cut like a cozy sweater and
after changing out of your white pumps and into
high-heel gold metallic sandals, you’re ready for
the cool winds of fate, as well as the breeze on the
bay.

Postcard from
Cannes Madra Lord
|
|
DRESSED DOLL
Perhaps there was a more beautiful dress there that
night, but I doubt it. And maybe there was in the
huge crowd a more beautiful woman there that warm
summer evening. But at the ball that night, there
was no other beautiful woman in attendance as
beautifully dressed as Madra Lord. Nature and
artifice combined perfectly in a bias cut
confection. The fitted column of dusty pink satin
is pleated at the criss-cross bodice into a halter
neckline before disappearing altogether in the back
into a diamante waterfall cascading from the
neckline to a bare, lower back. The lavish skirt of
this evening gown is cut and draped into an expanded
train. Matching opera length gloves and a mile long
white ‘fox’ stole combine with dramatic ‘diamonds’
at the wrist and ears for a look that gets looks,
coming and going. Madra’s sleek black marcel wave
is the one dark note in this pastel dream that is
tethered to the dance floor only by pink satin pumps
trimmed in silver.
