История создания Тайлер Вентворт.
After Julia, the vinyl 16" fashion doll that Tonner produced for The Georgetown Collection, Tonner felt he was ready to finally produce HIS fashion doll made by HIS doll company. He says that he was "neurotic, obsessed about the sculpt" for this fashion doll. He wanted a vinyl head on a hard plastic body--and it was important to Tonner to use injected mold pieces so the head could turn side to side AND up and down. He wanted the arms to go OUT as well as up and down, and he wanted a bendable knee so the doll could sit. All this would make the doll highly poseable and give it great playability.
Other things that Tonner wanted his fashion doll to have included a womanly body with a nipped-in waist (so she could wear layers of clothing in scale--without a nipped-in waist, a fashion doll would seem "bulky" and out of proportion once dressed. This is one of the reasons for Barbie's exaggerated proportions). Tonner also wanted a doll with her hands and feet in good proportion, and one with realistic hips. He also wanted the doll to have a model-like feel.
For the story/history of the doll, he wanted her to be a fashion designer.
Of course, after the sculpting and design of the doll were completed, there was the very important issue of what to NAME the doll! First names that were considered in the first round of naming at the Robert Tonner Doll Company included Claire, Kit, Haley, Margo, LuLu, and Natalie. Last names considered included Connell, Donnell, Granville, Sebastian, and Wentworth.
For the second round of names, some were thrown out and others were added. For first names, under consideration were Claire, Nicky, Bridget, Blaine, Emma, Perry Hudson, Jamie, Madison, Tyler and a few others. Last names included Sebastiani, Wentworth, and Laurence.
One name that was QUITE seriously in the running up until the end was "Perry Laurence" Tyler was VERY close to being called Perry Laurence. "Tyler Wentworth" was suggested to Tonner by a staff member, and he initially said NO. But, after considering it for awhile, he decided it WAS the right name for the doll, so Tyler Wentworth was "born."

Биография Тайлер Вентворт.
Tyler Wentworth® has always loved beautiful, elegant clothing. From an early age, she knew she was destined to set trends and create unforgettable fashions. She credits much of her rise on Seventh Avenue to her Aunt Regina and those in her life who have helped to shape her skills and nurture her talents to become one of the industry’s most talked-about and admired designers. A nine-time winner of Fashion Design Weekly’s top design awards, Tyler Wentworth® has embossed her name on the very essence of high style. Upon assuming the head of the House of Wentworth® from her Aunt Regina, Tyler immediately assessed the fashion house’s strengths, and she quickly swung into action. Now one of the world’s top fashion sources, Wentworth pulls out all the stops each time a new collection is presented. With her best friend and ally, Sydney Chase™, and The Chase Modeling Agency™ at her side, Tyler exceeds the norm in the industry, and she continues to be a Fashion Avenue darling. With new challenges in her world, including the addition of a worthy rival at VOSS INTL, and he returning Aunt Regina, Tyler Wentworth® certainly has her portfolio full! However, her creative maturity speaks strongly amongst her peers, and her confidence has never been stronger.
