Paper
Studio Press to Create Paper Doll Tribute to Ida Lupino
Ida
Lupino was a Hollywood star whose career including directing and writing. Her
multi-facted career spanned almost fifty years. This multi-talented Londoner
specialized in playing hard-boiled dames in film noir screenplays and
gangster movies. During the '50s, she starred as a screen star in a
popular TV sitcom, Mr. Adams and Eve. She is one of the
few successful female directors.
A new Ida
Lupino paper doll book featuring the star at her career peak in the
1940s and costumes of that period is to be created by famed fashion
illustrator Jim Howard. The artist's extraordinary talent will no doubt
perfectly capture the star's strong feminist character and cinematic
glamour as well as an exquisitely executed vintage wardrobe for the
paper dolls.
The
Ida Lupino paper doll book is scheduled to be published by Paper
Studio Press in 2010 and
will be available from Paperdoll
Review, Amazon.com, specialty websites and catalogs as well as selected
stores and shops.
