French Vogue editorial: models as Barbies

It seems the fashion world is still firmly in thrall of the doll world. French Vogue has done a whole editorial called "Panoplies", with models photographed like NRFB Barbie dolls in their boxes, each with a distinct look, the appropriately styled box and a wealth of accessories inside. The whole thing is magical, from the photography of Giampaolo Sgura and the impeccable styling by Claire Dhelens & Celia Azoulay, The sets are designed by Vincent Olivieri and made by Office Neochrome. Hair by Laurent Phillipon and make up by Lloyd Simmons. Models Magdalena Frackowiak and Elisabeth Erm are wearing looks by Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent Paris, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino. And it is all a very unique and clever way to make the ubiquitous Christmas issue gift editorial so much more interesting. Need I add that I want all of these as fashion doll gift sets? Please?

  2. Amazing blog. I find myself checking daily and learning more everyday. I have a collection of barbies and have only recently come to know FR dolls. I keep seeing this doll as a model for clothing for sale but never the doll itself. You seem like the person that would know :) https://www.etsy.com/listing/188096142/grey-black-flower-print-fashion-for?

  3. That doll on your etsy link is Integrity Toys FR Irresistible Dania Zarr, a W Club event doll from 2013 - check this post at the end for photos. http://fashiondollchronicles.blogspot.gr/2013/04/integrity-toys-2nd-on-line-presentation_7983.html
