Madame Alexander has been making dolls for over 100 years - the key to her success was innovation and quality.
Curator Sara Woodbury joins host Louisa Maxwell for Part 2 of the podcast discussing the The Barry Art Museum's exhibition Fashioning Innovation Madame Alexander at 100 celebrating the centenary of The Madame Alexander Doll company and its founder Beatrice Alexander.
In 1955 Beatrice Alexander introduced her fashion doll 'Cissy'. Her character was based on the modern American debutante and she had a couture inspired wardrobe.
Madame Alexander was recognised with an award from the ‘New York Fashion Academy” for her contribution to fashion. She drew inspiration from New York designers and Cissy brought these couture inspirations to life.
In Part two Sara and Louisa discuss Madame Alexander's fashion dolls and also compare Cissy to another 50's fashion icon Barbie Doll.
