I feel in love with Andrew Yang’s hand made dolls a few months ago (doll-gasm!), but was so busy that I did not have time to blog about them… Now I do! Given my mega unhealthy obsession with Nick Knight’s Show Studio, art, fashion, cartoons, dolls and couture you can see why this is so exciting for me … It’s like discovering Fifi Lapin, the Mulberry paper dolls, the Couture Designer Mice or the doll collections from Viktor & Rolf x Lanvin for the first time.

New York resident, Mr. Andrew Yang, 25, makes his ‘Kouklitas’, meaning dolls in Greek, from scratch, which is nothing short of brilliant. Andrew Yang’s work as been featured in VOGUE MAGAZINE, The New York Times, Doll Reader, DOLLS Magazine, and international publications of Elle, Marie Claire, and Harpers Bazaar.

Upon first glance, I thought of Emily from The Corpse Bride, Ruben Toledo’s drawings for Nordstrom catalogs, Mark Ryden illustrations and art from Margaret / Walter Keane. These works of art are put into different categories, such as: Ready To Wear, Couture, Limited Edition, and In Memoriam.

The dollies range in price from $1000 to $12,500. Dolls are dressed patterns seen from the latest seasons’ fashions from designers Balmain, Balenciaga, Alaia, Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Proenza Schouler. There is even a Scottish aristocrat Berniece Bobbin, the last of the Bobbins, a Scottish aristocratic family line that can trace its origins to the crusades.

Ruben and Isabel Toledo

Each doll of Mr. Yang’s has a name and comes with a story; but of course, did you expect anything less? Berniece is the last of the Bobbins, a Scottish aristocratic family line that can trace its origins to the crusades. Due to generations of intermarrying, Berniece, although famed throughout the highlands for her beauty and wit—is something of an eccentric. She has been known to ride her gray Arabian mare bareback during thunderstorms, and some neighbors near her country estate have reported she sometimes enjoys this sport in the nude.

Berniece’s gown is made from three different wool tartans. Her ruffled bolero is accented with antique buttons and unsnaps. The floor length skirt is hand shirred with two rows of black pleated mokuba ribbon, it and hemmed with horsehair and a silk taffeta ruffle. Her copper kanekalon wig is permanently styled in a partial braided upsweep with short loose curls. Her accessories are two fingerless mesh gloves and wool boots. Her hand painted expression is flecked with freckles, and sealed to prevent wear. Her black-feathered lashes are glued and sewn.

This is a typical dress from around the time Berniece was sixteen years old. She often made removable petticoats to allow for easier removal for her nude excursions.

<< Behind the scenes >> I just adore how Andrew shares the detailed doll making process

You NEED to check out his blog, as it has a large variety of eclectic music videos, what inspires him, colleagues artistic endeavors, interesting pictures and facts from all over the world, tid bits about films, artists, models, history and ateliers, as well as inspiring and rare fashion shoots.  Yes, he is oh so dreamy!

Side note: Andrew does custom orders, therefore I am SOOO having one of these made – personal holiday gift from moi? I THINK SO! This could be my new doll obsession – bye bye Blythe !  Custom orders start at $700.

Kouklitas are available at Barneys, Opening Ceremony, and Shop Show Studio.

The Kouklitas from NEON LIGHTHOUSE on Vimeo.

The Kouklitas are a line of 27” fashion rag dolls conceived by New York City based artist and illustrator Andrew Yang. The name originates from the Greek word for doll, koukla. Each doll is cut from a pattern, sewn into muslin, and meticulously stuffed and attached by hand. The faces are all hand painted, and the dresses are created using luxurious fabrics and couture sewing methods.

Andrew spent his childhood in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he grew up around his mother’s collection of Madame Alexander dolls and eventually acquired his own collection of high-end fashion dolls. His hobby was put on hold when he moved to New York to pursue fashion, an industry he worked in as an assistant designer for several years. Longing for another creative outlet, Andrew created his first doll from scraps of muslin in the summer of 2008.

The Kouklitas are currently available in Barneys New York stores across America, Barneys.com, Showstudio.com, and Joyce Boutique Hong Kong. His work as been featured in VOGUE MAGAZINE, The New York Times, Doll Reader, DOLLS Magazine, and international publications of Elle, Marie Claire, and Harpers Bazaar.

The first thing I thought of while looking at the images from this show was the Flower Song from Alice in Wonderland.

Instead of my usual coverage from Couture shows (history, collages, details, front row scoop, etc) I have decided to just post some spectacular pictures from Olivier Zahm’s blog, Purple Diary.  I will be back to my old tricks come October for THE REAL Paris Fashion Week.

I just HAD to do something on this show because A. You know my favorite things ever are ball gowns and dress up, and B. The house, flowers, and some gowns remind me of Alice in Wonderland, which I admit I need help with as everything I see reminds me somehow of the book or films!

Anthony House in Cornwall, GB, used in Alice in Wonderland (2010)

I am obsessed with the abstract angles that these pictures were shot at; I want a few framed and put on my walls!  I’m also fascinated and in loveee with the up close pictures, I feel like I’m there and could touch the fabric.  These up close shots do much more for me than Style.com’s detail and beauty shots.

02nd Oct. Paris

Tsimori Chisato @ Hotel Westin:

Nautical gone Tsimoriland features sequined knitted briefs topped with stripes, flowers and yet more sparkles! We had the usual quilted motifs on mini caftans and flowey, empire waisted dresses paired in cool hues of peach, turqoise and yellow … each look topped with slick Samarai knotted coifs … take note!

Azzaro Formal presentation @ Boutique on Faubourg Saint-Honore:

Tagged along with mon copine Darryl for an old style presentation at the super groovy salon @ Azzaro … mirror paneled walls hid dressing rooms, office and toilette … an intimate group which included NY Times writer Eric Wilson who shared a couch with me … lots of short dresses and jewels galore, mostly decorative ‘necklaces’ or delicate diamante bows made for pretty back views and looks we will surely be seeing on the red carpet

Designer Vanessa Seward looked splendid as always; glowing after having her first baby a few months ago, her husband music producer Bertrand Burgalat provided the music…. cool, easy and tres French – voila!

Karl Lagerfeld for Hogan screening premiere:

The fashion creme de la creme converged Saturday evening to view the latest of the many projects Kaiser Karl is miraculously able to juggle … there was Franca Sozzani of Italian Vogue, Nick Rhodes (who performed with band Duran Duran @ Fendi fete the following night), Janet Jackson, Stephen Dorff with leggy model, wonderful Marisa Berenson, more beautiful in person … and of course the usual publication elite: Suzy Menkes, Stefano Tonchi, Anna Wintour …

Les Nuits Blanches:

An annual event that coincides with FW, each year a different theme, this time artistic director Martin Bethenod showcased the visual arts …. great opportunity to explore the many old churches and ‘hotel particuleurs’ that serve as venues for a variety of sensory provoking work … oh, and there’s also plenty of drinking on the streets … ha!

Reposted from: January 26th, 2010

Erm.. This is very hard for me, because as some of you know, Chanel is my #1 or #2 favorite design house in the entire world. I have been waiting months for this show, and was less than impressed. I am aware that these clothes took hours/ weeks to make, but they are lacking the overall “couture” look.

My mother told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I do have a few nice things to say, so I will just stick with those

One of the most anticipated shows of the couture season is the Chanel Haute Couture show in Paris, France.

Karl’s inspiration didn’t come to Karl Lagerfeld in a vision or a dream, like usual —more of “an electronic flash in my head at five o’clock one morning. Silver and pastel,” he said. “It’s the first time in my whole career I’ve done a collection without black or navy. There’s not one gold button.”

I appreciate that Karl went “outside” his box, but I miss Chanel’s LBD!

I have seen half of these skirt-jacket suits many times before.

This show gave me an adult futuristic Sailor Moon // fancy baby doll vibe. Most of the garments look either really young, like something a school girl or a baby doll would wear long ago, or something a grandma might rock. The shoes, accessories, and tights, reminded me a lot of the futuristic nightclub, Liquid Silver, in the movie Tank Girl.

There were some looks that I really enjoyed, and hello, what more could I ask for than a bow in every girls hair !

Chanel now produces 6 shows per year.

Some background on couture from my Christian Dior couture post from yesterday:

Haute Couture = French for “high sewing” or “high dressmaking” refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. It is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.

Many top designer fashion houses, such as Chanel, use the word for some of their special collections. These collections are often not for sale or they are very difficult to purchase.

To earn the right to call itself a couture house and to use the term haute couture in its advertising and any other way, members of the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture must follow these rules:

• Design made-to-order for private clients, with one or more fittings.
• Have a workshop (atelier) in Paris that employs at least fifteen people full-time.
• Each season (i.e., twice a year), present a collection to the Paris press, comprising at least thirty-five runs/exits with outfits for both daytime wear and evening wear. – Wikipedia

When I was younger, I did not understand why design houses wanted to spend tons of money and time on a hand sewn gown that would just be sent down the runway for less than five minutes, and then put into the archives. The older I grew, the more I appreciated these shows and saw them as the true art form that they are.

Today, an estimated 200 women buy regularly from the Paris couture, where a Chanel suit takes 150 hours to make, requires three fittings, and, with a smattering of embroidery by the fabled Lesage, can edge toward a $100,000 price tag (elaborate evening gowns can soar beyond that figure). A best-selling Chanel suit may be ordered by ten or fifteen clients, though chez Lacroix, for instance, only one model of each evening dress is sold per country. Guiding them in their choices are the vendeuses, or salesladies, who, with their directrice de la couture, coordinate the client’s requirements with the fitter and her seamstresses to make them a reality. This relationship “is a question of trust,” says Dior’s ineffably chic directrice, Catherine Rivière. “You need to know her body,” adds Raffaele Ilardo, Dior’s head tailor. “She knows you know every fault and every quality. It’s like being her doctor!” -Vogue

The Deets:

The show was at the Pavillion Cambon Capucines, a former bank on the ‘le’ rue Cambon. (These shots are of the Pavillion, but not on the day that Chanel used it.)

Guests included Claudia Schiffer, Kanye West and Amber Rose, Alexa Chung, blogger Tavi Gevinson, Charlotte Gainsberg, Clemence Posey, Anna Wintour, Hamish Bowles, and Caroline Siber.

“It” models: Anja Rubik, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Snejana Onopka, Lara Stone, Magdalena Frackowiak, Liu Wen, Siri Tollerod, Heidi Mount, Kasia Struss, Isabeli Fontana, Jenny Sinkaberg, Baptiste Giabiconi, and Freja Beha Erichsen.

Guests sat on what it looks like to be silver couches with rainbow colored CHANEL embelishments.

Anna Wintermouse

It’s all Disney’s fault.
(RIP Roy Disney, he died today, December 16th, 2009)

My favorite thing to read everyday is New York Magazine’s: The Cut. While doing my daily reading, I came across this new post about Anna Wintour as Anna Wintermouse and Karl Lagerfeld as a mouse. My face instantly lit up and I believe the words that came out of my mouth were, ” Ahhhhh omfg, this is the cutest thing ever.” Chanel + Mice = me with a huge smile! It was at this time that I decided the fair and beloved readers of the Daily truffle needed to see this !

Amy Odell, writer for The Cut, says in this post, ” However the whole thing gives us an idea: an animated feature like Ratatouille but with mice doing fashion things, like going to Mice Fashion Week, instead of food thing.” I think I should send this article to John Lasseter, head of Disney Pixar (I have a major Disney obsession)

Coco Chanel mouse

I showed this adorable article to a friend and she was less than amused.  I began to ponder why I have such a thing for cute mice….. and then it hit me: Ever since I can remember, there have been mice in compromised situations and I have always wanted to help them, be it real life or animated films slash books.

When I was around seven, I told my mother that when I grew up I was going to buy all the pet stores in the world so that people could not buy mice to feed to their pet snakes….that or just kill snakes worldwide (If you have read previous articles of mine you know I HATE snakes.)

Aw !

My dad and sister hate all rodents (Caroline does too).  A few weeks after we moved into our new house, many years ago, my mom saw a rat in our backyard and my dad called his realtor because he wanted to move (We did not move).  My dad has a strange man named “George (Horhay) ” who comes to our house and changes various mouse traps… This upsets me every time.  To this day, I still buy my dad rubber rats that squeak, toy mice for cats, and mice that you pull a string and they run around the room, just to bother him

I have always loved these adorable little creatures because of the movies I have seen over the span of my twenty four years; I have always wanted to help them out of there scary situations.

Here are some of my favs !

Awww let him have some cheese

Special condolences from ME, Lauren Brokaw, go to the talented and super cool, Luella Bartley, whose label caught the recession flu and died, November 10th, 2009.

Luella ella ella ay ay

Not only should she be given an award for using bows all of the time and for having the cutest name ever, but she also deserves an award for her creativity, originality, and her mentality of being fearless and a bit kooky.

spring slash summer 2010 fashion show

Unlike other high end designer brands, the customer who wore Luella was all about looking fashion forward and having a good time.

I loved Luella’s collections because they they never copied slash followed any upcoming trends, yet they always felt so current and new.

Something about this brand always screamed I‘m cute, english, and I follow the beat of my own drum, which has made me an “it” girl.
