Blass built his reputation on the idea that American women deserved clothes that were both joyful and precise, and this doll reflects both instincts at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBill Blass dressed Nancy Reagan, dressed the cast of Dynasty, and then dressed Barbie, which is a fairly accurate summary of where American fashion lived in the 1980s and 90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: This doll was sourced from a collection that was stored with mothballs to prevent insect damage.
