New Zealand

27 February 2005  

This is probably the first exhibition of its kind in the world, and the creators are all New Zealand artists and designers. It is with special appreciation to all the sponsors listed in this catalogue that Radio Lollipop New Zealand is able to bring this exhibition to the public.

Jan McLean, from Dunedin, one of the world’s leading doll makers, has made each doll to the custom- designed features requested by each fashion designer.

Twelve of New Zealand’s top fashion designers have each dressed a doll, inspired from their 2005 winter collection.

Customised scale jewellery has been created to the designers’ requirements by Chris Idour, Jeweller, Dunedin.

The dolls’ faces have been made-up using Estée Lauder’s winter 2005 palette.

On Thursday May 5 2005, at the end of the exhibition, the dolls will be auctioned at a Grand Gala Dinner at Langham Hotel, Auckland (formerly the Sheraton Auckland Hotel).
