Anouk goes Braniff!


Like many of us I have a real fondness for flight attendant dolls. A standout in the pantheon of stewardess dolls and fashions has to be The Marx toys Braniff set. These replica's of the bright and fun uniforms sported by the Texan airline stewardesses were designed by renowned Italian designer Emilio Pucci. They incorporated fun bold colours with the the then en vogue, space age fashion trends. A wonderful rarity today, I had hoped to produce Anouk wearing this uniform but sadly after having the prototypes made by Gerry Borg and Kerstin Bergstrom, I realised they would be (for me) too costly to produce in multiple numbers.
Still I though it would be fun to share the prototypes with you here :-)












The New High Colour Anouk dolls!



Following on from the new hairstyles, I developed some even more elaborate and typically 1960s styles. To compliment these, I have given the latest Anouk dolls a much more glamorous and high colour make up with the addition of smoky eye Shadow and strong cheek blush. I think it completely changes her personality. I hope you enjoy the gallery of new look dolls below :-)

Blonde Bombshells!




















Beautiful Brunettes!

Some new hairstyles for Anouk






 Some new looks for Anouk, from sophisticated to casual. I think they give her great personality and charm.







Then just for the fun of it I dressed a lovely Brunette Anouk and boxed her up in the 50th Anniversary Francie Miss Teenage Beauty Queen ensemble. I think she looks great in it!
