Madison Avenue Afternoon Tyler is
passionate about the colors of the three-piece silk ensemble she wears
when looking at Madison Avenue real estate for the flagship boutique of
House of Wentworth. A persimmon red cropped coat tops a tank of
melon silk worn over burnished gold pants. Complimentary jewelry and
gold sunglasses complete her look. Tyler considers the afternoon
well spent after she locates the perfect property for her boutique.
Note: This outfit later became the inspiration for the Madison
Avenue Gift Set in 2002.
Sweet Indulgence Ah, the
single life! On a rare night at home, Tyler slips into a very
glamorous retro nightgown of pale violet silk-satin and re-embroidered
lace. Her robe of pure silk chiffon and matching lace enhances the
allure of this decadent ensemble. Tyler's real pleasure, however, is
in a box of chocolate truffles!
Beverly Hills Chic Tyler was prompted to fly to Beverly Hills by a call from the owner of Le Chic Salon who asked that she select styles from her collection to be featured in a Wentworth display. She chose to wear a classic white linen jacket, matching white linen trouser skirt and a fitted man-tailored shirt for the working meeting. It was the perfect outfit for a sunny day in Beverly Hills! Includes the miniature 'book', Isle of the Night by Paloma Kerr.
Premiere Pink While in California for a trunk show, Tyler was approached by a well-known movie director to costume his next film. Although undecided about his offer, Tyler did accept an invitation to the premiere of the director's latest film. She chose a pale pink sweater set with beaded embroidery over a matching silk ball gown skirt. Tyler felt like a "star" as she walked on the red carpet past paparazzi into the theater.
Champagne Bubble Tyler was determined to make a memorable entrance at Chase Modeling Agency's annual spring cocktail party. Although dozens of beautiful models attended the event, Tyler held her own wearing a champagne-colored silk bubble dress, the bodice of which was hand-beaded with gold beads and pearls. Much to her delight, she noticed that many of the models were wearing House of Wentworth designs. The newest model at the agency, Tyler's friend Esmé, also created quite a sensation.
Shakespeare in the Park Outdoor events often pose a fashion dilemma, but Tyler met the challenge and looked stunning in a silver silk lame gown with a tiered skirt of pleated organza. She was the talk of the Shakespeare in the Park benefit where all of New York's finest gathered to support the arts Tyler's good friend, Christian Wolfe, played the lead role in Shakespeare's Hamlet and she presented him with a bouquet of roses following the performance. Did you know? Shakespeare in the Park remains as one of Robert Tonner's favorite Tyler Wentworth designs. This outfit later inspired a special centerpiece doll to debut Fashion Jane at the Paris Fashion Doll Festival in 2003.
While touring Moscow looking for exotic fabrics, Tyler found this gorgeous brown and gold brocade. She couldn't wait to get back to her workroom to create this luscious two-piece suit. Tyler's three-quarter-length jacket has black velvet stand collar and cuffs, which she felt would be perfect with a short slim skirt. To contribute to the Russian theme, Tyler created this black velvet hat with gold leaf pin and matching bag. Tyler suggested black sheer stockings and black pumps with this sophisticated outfit. Did you know? This outfit was later used to release the debut edition of 'First Appointment' Mei Li?
The Manhattan Music Awards is THE event of the New York music season, covering everything from classical to rock. Tyler was delighted to be asked not only to dress some of the award nominees, but also to participate as a presenter. She chose a gown of black cut velvet with stripe insets of cobalt blue silk charmeuse. She accessorized the outfit with a matching cobalt blue stole, bag and shoes. Drop jet earrings were the perfect finishing touch. Let the music begin! A special dressed version of this outfit was done for the Italian Fashion
Doll Festival in 2001.
On a visit to a northern New England woolen mill, Tyler was inspired to design this outfit that would be perfect for a weekend retreat. The outfit consists of Tyler's signature jeans, a lush cotton cable knit sweater, and a double-breasted coat of red wool double banded in black. Tyler accessorized the outfit with a black and white wool check duffle bag and black boots.

Tyler Wentworth® Collection; February 12, 2000 (Outfit Only) On 7th Avenue, during busy market week, Tyler needs to look every bit the designer as she meets with buyers. Tyler spends as much time as she can with the stores to learn first hand about the needs of their customers. On the first day of market week, Tyler chooses a fitted black wool jersey jacket with velvet collar and cuffs and her faux leopard straight skirt. Black tights and short black boots add dash to her tailored outfit. Being her own best model, the biggest request Tyler has is for the outfit she is wearing! Note: Outfit did not include earrings.
