伦敦高端洋娃娃设计师以这种方式向好莱坞最著名的女明星之一的阿比•兰恩致敬的。
High-end London doll designers are paying homage to one of Hollywood's most famous starlets with a miniature Abbe Lane. Superdoll Collectables is holding an exhibition of the screen legend in her resin replica in Milan.
With her red hair, stylish clothes and chihuahua under her arm - this is no ordinary doll. Based on Hollywood singer and actress Abbe Lane, this is the latest doll from Superdoll Collectables. And the star herself is here in Milan for the launch of her doll. In the 1950s her flaming hair, hips and glamour clothing set pulses racing.
Abbe Lane, Hollywood singer & actress, said, "They could have chosen many other actresses but the fact that they chose me is unbelievable. And so when I open the first box, you know the glass tonight with the doll, I am sure I am going to be, as we say, blown away,"
From sequined mermaid gowns to black lace and leopard-print dresses, the London designers researched, cut and sewed each outfit by hand.
Charles Fegen, Designer of Superdoll Collectables, said, "Our dolls don't complain, our dolls don't put on weight, so it's a lot easier to make clothes for them and to dress them. "
Desmond Lingard, Designer of Superdoll Collectables, said, "It’s easier in that sense, in design sense, but it's actually more difficult than making human clothes because you are working on such a minute scale."
The dolls have no official prices, the close-knit community of doll collectors' deal directly with their designers. The Superdolls travel the world, exhibiting and selling in places like Moscow, New York and Japan. Now it's time for Fegen to dress the dolls ready for another busy day of fashion shoots and being admired - just like a real life supermodel.
