Description
Tonner Doll Company, Inc.
Tonner Doll Company, Inc. - The Tonner Doll Company is internationally renowned for award-winning dolls that encourage the young—and the young-at-heart—to Believe in the Power of Play™. Inspired by a passion for doll collecting, the company has manufactured fine dolls designed and sculpted by Robert Tonner, from little girl and classic character dolls that recapture the magic of childhood memories, to fully articulated high fashion dolls with exquisite collections of costumes that depict the quintessential American style. Robert Tonner’s life-long interest in dolls, top-level fashion designer experience, and designing and sculpting talents led to his creation of the Tonner Doll Company, one of the most successful and celebrated doll manufacturers in the world.
After graduating from the Parsons School of Design, Tonner was invited to join Bill Blass, an internationally recognized force in the fashion field, and soon became one of the company’s top designers, heading up the Blassport label. Throughout his career, Tonner’s “contemporary classic” view of how a modern American woman should dress continually caught the eye of the fashion world’s trend-spotters—his designs were featured regularly in such publications as Women’s Wear Daily, Town & Country, New York Magazine, The New York Times and Vogue.
Tonner’s long-time interest in dolls led him to become a collector, and in 1982, to try his hand at doll sculpting. In 1985, Tonner received a glowing review, from an esteemed panel of judges at the National Institute of American Doll Artists Conference in NYC, for a model-like fashion doll he had entered for critique. During the years that followed, Tonner turned more of his attention to developing and perfecting his doll designs while still pursuing the career of a rising fashion designer. In 1991, he left the fashion industry to start the Robert Tonner Doll Company.
