"The Secret Lives Of Dolls". Few Words About My New Collection.

New editorial for my Collection "The Secret Lives Of Dolls" 2010
My new Collection is not due to be officially released until much later, but I have decided to give you a sneak pick at the story behind the creation of "The Secret Lives Of Dolls". I am happy to say that the Collection was an enormous hit in Paris, beyond anything I could have expected. :-))) And so, here is the story. I have been in love with the fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen ever since I was 3. He believed that everything around us - spoons, tea pots, books, furniture, even jewelry had a secret life. As my daughter Anastasia turned 15 she no longer had any interest in her dolls. They simply set all over her room collecting dust. This is when one Sunday I found myself packing all of them away in the attic and wondering what if they too had a secret life...? I tryed to imagine how it would look like...and that is how my new Collection was born. New editorial for my new Collection "The Secret Lives Of Dolls" 2010
With the stroke of a midnight the dolls in the attic come to life. They climb out of their boxes. They go through the piles of Vogue so interested to see if their dresses are still in fashion. :-))) They dream of Fairy Tale romance, they play with your pearls, try on your shoes, they even get in your perfume box!

Here you see two hand beaded berets (Dior shape) , both of which are made out of Cecil Beaton Fabrics. Each has a tiny Eiffel Tower gracing the top. Please, click pictures for larger views. I though they would be perfect for my Dolls. Apparently, Paris thought the same. :-)))....

When Dolls get tired of playing in your wardrobe, they sit down for a cup of coffee and, maybe, gossip a little about things they love. :-))) They eat chocolates and dream of one day being able to travel to Paris...
