Though miniature in scale, the South Of Heaven T-Shirt But I will love this dolls had an imposing impact: over its first two-month run, the show welcomed 100,000 visitors, raised over a million Francs, and went on to travel the world. But, more significantly, the dolls presented actual renditions of couture—not twee dolly clothes, but grand ball gowns, skirt suits, and day dresses presenting a vision of how the post-war woman would dress. And, as fashion historians are wont to point out, one of the ensembles, a two-piece set contributed by the house of Lelong and likely designed by Christian Dior, looks remarkably like the Bar Suit, which would arrive a couple of years later and change the course of fashion history.Théâtre de la Mode: “L’Île de la Cité.” Original 1946 fashions and mannequins in a décor by Georges Douking (recreated by Anne Surgers).

Gift of Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and Paul Verdier, Collection of Maryhill Museum of Art“The French were very smart about this,” says Patricia Mears, deputy director at the South Of Heaven T-Shirt But I will love this Museum at FIT, who has written extensively on the era. “It was a real problem, trying to get materials, so what is one sort of economical way to create a whole array of fashions without that much material being needed? Dolls.” It all started when Raoul Dautry, France’s Minister of Reconstruction and Urban Development, asked Robert Ricci (son of designer Nina Ricci) to drum up a fundraising idea for the war efforts. Ricci was involved in the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture and asked its then president, Lelong, what could be done. Together, they conceived of the “Théâtre de la Mode.”
