Wilde about Ellowyne with Robert Tonner and Host Louisa Maxwell
Since their launch in 1991 Robert Tonner’s dolls have captured the imagination of collectors worldwide. His dolls have won numerous awards and have the distinction of being exhibited in the Museum of Decorative Arts at the Louvre in Paris.
Robert Tonner is about to launch a new edition of a firm favourite, Ellowyne Wilde with an all new sculpt and range of costumes. Ellowyne will be launched in March 2021 and we can’t wait to hear all the exciting details.
Robert Tonner creates magical worlds with his dolls and tells stories of haute couture, literature, action and adventure. Not only has he created chic fashion dolls but realised meticulous sculpts of Hollywood film heroes: Scarlett O’Hara, Harry Potter, Superman, Spiderman, Laura Croft and many more iconic characters.
He brings a fresh perspective to doll making breaking down barriers with the first transgender doll Jazz Jennings. He celebrates style at any age with his doll of super model Carmen Dell'Orefice, still strutting the catwalks in her 80’s. He created Emme the first plus size fashion doll reflecting contemporary discussions about our perception of beauty and whether size matters?
To Robert Tonner doll making is just like fashion design - he recognises the need for dolls to be setting trends rather than following them.
