Andrew Yang, an artist and former Dennis Basso design employee has had me drooling with his darkly surreal (everything from cyclops to siamese twins) handmade doll collection for some time now. The somewhat creepy Kouklitas doll collection is wonderfully detailed. My favourite is his two headed doll, ‘Cora and Clarice’.

Yang was recently commissioned by The Block magazine , to re-create our favourite looks from Spring/Summer 2010 catwalks.

Looks including those by Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, Givenchy, Comme Des Garçons etc are modelled by 24 inch rag dolls. How sick is the Gareth Pugh? Check out the epic long braid!

The above images are part of an editorial by Dan Forbes. Look out for the upcoming issue of The Block for the full editorial.
The issue will be available to buy from Opening Ceremony .

The Proenza Schouler and Comme Des Garçons wearing dolls have refuelled my candy coloured hair filled daydreams.

The dolls ranging from about $600 will be available from Yang’s Kouklitas site.

Yang’s supermodel rag dolls kick Barbie’s golden looks to the curb. The dilemma will be choosing which one to buy.

Ooh Miss Lanvin!

Meet another delish set of Miss Lanvin hand-painted porcelain dolls. Alber Elbaz’s Lanvin girls are utterly chic!

The man with the Midas touch has me lusting after each one of these porcelain dolls.

The first set was created in 2007 after Elbaz decorated the Lanvin Faubourg Saint-Honoré store window with miniature mannequins.
Lucky for us he then went on to collaborate with Franz, the ceramics company on the first set of dolls. They have not looked back since.

This attention to detail with each limited edition doll is wonderfully exquisite. Crushing on the birthday Miss Lanvin jumping out of the crystal bedecked cake! The cake is decorated in yummy gems, pearls, strawberries etc. Her cone gold hat topped of with a peal is super fun.

I also love the last one, the fabulous lady and child. The woman has on the most magnificent outfit; a one arm polka dotted dress, matching shoes and crystal jewellery (earrings and bracelet which are seen better in detail zoom at Browns Fashion. Both the daughter and her doll are enchanting in polka dots too. Adorable!

The hand painted limited edition porcelain dolls are £215 for the single doll sets. The duo dolls are £305. They available below at
