I like dolls. At one point, I was collecting Jem and the Holograms dolls from eBay. You know, reliving the childhood period. The most expensive doll I bid for was Aja Leith doll in mint condition (the lead guitarist and also the most rare, if you’re no familiar) for USD$179 and I won it before I sold it off again for a profit. LOL. Then, I got into my Barbie phase - in particular, My Fair Lady figurines. Yes, my love for the film and Audrey Hepburn extended to plastic versions.
However, I think these Viktor & Rolf dolls look like the Bride of Chucky in couture. Viktor said, “Every garment is like a couture garment. Everything was scaled down — the embroideries, the prints, all the accessories.” No matter how freaky they look, I’m actually quite into them at the moment:
Possibly my favourite of the lot.
Pretty in Pink violins. There’s a black doll. Where’s the Asian?
I love the detailing on each doll. NO! Don’t be a “YES” woman.
Ooh, nice locks. You don’t get these clothes with Barbie.
Now, that’s one Asian lookin’ doll. Or Japanese. I love youuuu too.
What’s with the suspension?

Back to school *groans* I dragged myself to school after work and by the time I’m home, it’s 11pm. My blog posts are going to be a wee-late for the next couple of months. I was surfing Hint magazine and I was captivated by their ‘Streetniks’ fashion editorial that emphasizes on asymmetry and hoods. I love the usage of vintage cameras as props in this spread - here’s a sneak peek:
These Rick Owens coats are freakin’ amazing. I want them. The vintage Leica camera makes me wanna take photographs again - I miss developing films and looking through the viewfinder, and not LCD screen.
You only expect fabulous creations from Viktor & Rolf. And, this coat dress says it all. Shoes are from Celine, and tights from American Apparel.
This picture is my favourite. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about this Azzedine Alaia’s dress. That vintage camera is a Yashicamat. What a keeper.
Seeing double? Both dresses are from Sept & Imane Ayissi. Definitely more tastefully done than a hair commercial. You don’t get symmetry in the direction of the hair flying.
Now, for a kooky piece. This pop-up dress is by Felipe Oliveira Baptista that spells f-u-t-u-r-i-s-t-i-c-. Fashion forward? You decide.
