Haskell and Lawrence conceived Nancy's fashions with a soothing silvery palette that makes their pitch-perfect late 1960s designs even more captivating.
Nancy pays tribute to the elegance of days gone by, to the charm of women of substance who after satisfying the demands of their daily lives dressed up to live the fantasies of fashion. Here's to them all!
A lace mini with silver lame at neck and hem by Tania Lawrence exemplifies the impact of minimalism.
Coquettish baby pink silk shantung dress is elevated by a mini cape with faux fur by Rosina Haskell. Roger Sterling Ken is impressed.
A suit for work in a sweet shade of blue by Haskell is perfect for Nancy's busy day.
Goldfinger! Nancy's golden lamé column dress is showstopper if we ever saw one. A multicolored bead necklace by Vince Tibavido adds an extra layer of vivacity. Manhattan, anyone? Roger Sterling Ken is captivated.
Dressed to the Nines! A blue and silver gown and faux fur stole are two classic components for a formal night out. By this point, Roger Sterling Ken cannot keep his eyes away from the rare French beauty.
Dolldom expresses deep gratitude to Mike Buess, Rosina Haskell, and Tania Lawrence for making this exclusive entry possible.
Acronyms such HTF and VHTF are inextricable from the dollector's pursuit of vintage objects of desire. Take, for example, Fairyite’s Lady Penelope. Released in 1966 along with six outfits, the doll's scarcity in today's secondary market make her qualify as a rare find, more so in good condition.
What are dolls wishing to evoke Lady Penelope’s aura of style to do? Sit and wait?
Absolutely no! They go on a mission!
Enter the equally fabulous Rosina Haskell who, like Lady Penelope, comes to the rescue with her keen understanding of the period, of the designs, and of the incomparable charm of the inspiring secret agent.
In this Dolldom exclusive, several super stars of the fashion doll world gather to pay homage to the sensational heroine of Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds! Here’s to F.A.B. style. Here’s to Rosina Haskell and Lady Penelope!
Fairylite's Lady Penelope doll was offered dressed in a red and black houndstooth suit with capelet and cap.
Haskell's version is on point! Modeled by a first issue Lilli Lalka by Julian Kalinowski, the suit is made for stylish sleuthing.
Lady Penelope's bolero and bellbottom pantsuit with sash...
becomes a nautically-inspired ensemble in Haskell's hands. Anouk, by Nav Sikand, is thrilled.
A hip leather vest over herringbone look...
is Sylvain's favorite lounging-around get-up!
Pink crepe and black lurex...who knew?
Anouk digs the classic color match!
Did she? No, she didn't! This is new design by Haskell that makes a prototype Sylvain by Julian Kalinowski decide to become a sleuth-for-hire.
The drama of black and white for cocktails...
Is black and white drama for cocktails and Fabiola by Mike Buess is on it! Sunglasses by LizRetros.
The gown! A secret agent has to blend at gala parties and balls...
so Tressy, restyled by Pink Bubbles Doll Spa, volunteers to do the job.
Lalka 2 (aka Little Miss Lolita) by Julian Kalinowski comes to cheer us all.
In fashions by LizRetros, Rosina Haskell, and HillcrestBarbies, Kalinowski's Black version of his latest hand painted, hand coiffed doll is a joyous celebration.
