fashion dolls for the discriminating collector
Owner and Creator of CED,

Doug James's entry into the Fashion doll world was completely unexpected.
Studying Theatre Arts in college, acting, directing, costume and set design, he
assumed his designs would be in the larger scale rather than smaller.
Moving to Manhattan after graduation, Doug worked at the Julliard School in the
costume department as well as for the Brooks-Van Horn Costume Co. He spent
two seasons as Artistic Director for the Shady Lane Playhouse, a professional
theatre company outside of Chicago.
Back in New York Doug has created millinery (hats) for the broadway stage for
Phantom of the Opera, Will Roger's Follies, Guys and Dolls, Nine, Candida,
Streetcar Named Desire, St. Joan and the MUPPETS among others.
For several years Doug worked with John Noble at the Museum of the City of
New York restoring antique French fashion doll clothing. He also made four one
of a kind dolls that were exhibited at the Museum of the City of New York.
Doug has worked on numerous films including Mona Lisa Smile, Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp, Wolf, Guarding
Tess, Sabrina, A Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island. At this writing he is working on the
new Angelina Jolie-Matt Damon film.
For television Doug has made hats and costumes for Mourning Becomes Electra for PBS, received an Emmy
award for millinery work for the daytime drama All My Children and for the past 14 years has been part of the
wardrobe team for NBC's Saturday Night Live for which he received another Emmy award.
Doug has also taught Theatrical Millinery classes for graduate and under graduate students at Rutgers
University for the past 10 years.
In the Fashion doll and collectible doll world, Doug has designed for the Gene doll for the Ashton-Drake
Company, Cissy for the Madam Alexander Company, Willow and Daisy for the Knickerbocker Company and
currently owns and operates JDJ International, the company that produces the CED line of fashion dolls.
