First, about your idea.
It all started with the fact that in his blog you wrote about the meeting with Natalia Vodianova fashion show at Louis Vuitton.
I'm not fond of accurate portrait dolls (it's a little voodoo to me).
But the idea to make a U "models" with the cover seemed to me interesting.
I began to look around Vodianova photos and once I came across a very interesting photo shoot Paolo Roversi vfor Italian Vogue 2006.

For the photo shoot using clothes from Nina Ricci, Armani and Lacroix.
These exquisite dresses with embroidery and feathers, a bit Gothic and exalted is very suitable for ED.
Fuse into the soul of the bride's dress from the winter collection Lacroix, 2006.
A certain impression of medieval Venice, but very precisely stylized for modern times.
First I wanted a dress-up for meals on your competition.
I bought the fabric and some quantity of ornaments.
But despite nilichie sized dolls, a dress so that it sat perfectly on a doll, which I have not yet held in his hands, it seems very difficult.
Then I decided to make myself a doll with similar dimensions and a dress for her.
The first attempt was dismal - a doll's arm broke off (plastic such thickness is very brittle).
I had to sacrifice full compliance for the sake of strength.
The new frame was usable, but the doll turned out with different proportions.
In the end, I tried to reproduce the very picture of Vogue.
Moreover, she Vodianova in this photo shoot is very consistent with the spirit of the ED. Such an innocent little face in such a fairy-gothic aura.
I certainly do not encourage you do to dress up dolls with fashion shows, but I think that if you have an idea of creating their own line of clothing for ED, such a style they would certainly have been approached and would be very harmonious.
(There are several explanations for my competitive work. I'm not entirely happy with the face of her dolls, but I hope for leniency, since this is only my second doll, made after a very long break. And she has a small defect on the leg - broke off a piece of the foot while trying to to the medieval Venetian shoes for dolls. Sandals were too heavy. So the girl had to remain barefoot.
And yet, despite the fact that I tried very hard to recreate the picture exactly, my skill of the photographer was not enough for maximum effect.)
