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.

Yang, a 25-year-old New York resident, makes his kouklitas (meaning dolls in Greek) from scratch, which is nothing short of brilliant.

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.

Kouklitas are available at Barneys New York stores across America, Opening Ceremony, and online at Shop Show Studio.
