for the december/january 2015 issue of vogue paris, italian photographer giampaolo sgura has staged supermodels magdalena frackowiak and elisabeth erm as living dolls. enclosed in barbie-like boxes, the fashion stars are surrounded by colorful shoes, props, embroidered bags and an array of outfit changes, creating a completely couture environment for each mock-plastic lady. the current collections of valentino, miu miu, fendi and moschino are among twelve international high-fashion brands featured in the seemingly miniature display cases. the luxury items are delicately pinned and hung to the surrounding walls, fixed against stunning wallpapered backgrounds. ready-to wear becomes ready-to-play.
