The Tonner Doll Company
reflects the genius of Robert Tonner,
a designer known throughout the world for his award-winning
dolls and fashions. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design
and a former head designer for Bill Blass, Robert Tonner has
combined his fashion experience with sculpting and design
talents to produce the unique and appealing dolls that have
established him as a leading doll artist.
Through his
designs, Robert Tonner epitomizes glamour with his Tyler Wentworth
and Kitty Collier collections and recaptures the magic of
classic characters such as Betsy McCall, Mary Engelbreit's
Ann Estelle, April from Lynn Johnston's For Better Or For
Worse, and others, including some Disney favorites. The
dolls are made to exacting specifications, and their clothes
are spectacular designer fashions, featuring specially designed
fabrics selected and lovingly fashioned to enhance the dolls’
beauty. They are meant to be enjoyed and treasured by discerning
collectors and doll lovers.
Robert is a past president of the National Institute of American
Doll Artists (NIADA) and his dolls have been featured in national
and international media, including People Magazine, CNN, the
Barbara Walters Oscar Night Special, Entertainment Tonight,
and British Vogue Magazine. A recent and very special honor
was to have his creations added to the permanent collections
at the Louvre Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, France.
Toni's Collectibles is pleased to offer the Robert Tonner
line.
