“A piece of fashion history”

You know you’re immortal when you have your own teddy bear.

Margarete Steiff plush toy company doll. $1,500, Neiman Marcus, Sept. 2008.

I bet those sunglasses are sewn on permanently. A polar bear to signify Chanel’s furry fall collection, perhaps?

Karl Lagerfeld's sketch of his mini-me.

And you know you’re definitely immortal when you have a teddy bear and a doll of yourself.

And when you’ve designed a doll that resembles yourself.

For Barbie's 50th Anniversary. Getting old Barbie, getting old. Ken looks quite serious (yet lifelike) here.

And when you have appeared in a video game (Grand Theft Auto), a cartoon movie (The Simpsons) and may potentially pop in a TV drama (Gossip Girl).

Gosh, Karl.

More fashion god(desse)s-

For Fashion’s Night Out, 2010. By Andrew Yang, as comissioned by Barneys New York. Will be auctioned off at charitybuzz.com starting August 31, proceeds benefiting The New York City Aids Fund.

Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington with Tudor collars. Very fitting on our favourite redheaded editor. I love these rag dolls, don’t you? Okay, that was an insult. These are a million light years away from being rag dolls. They make porcelain dolls (with their flawless complexions) jealous. I would’ve floated to cloud nine if one of these arrived on my doorstep back in my doll crazy times.

The next one is quite unfortunate…

Uncle York and Tokyo Element’s Terry Richardson doll. I can’t believe I just put that on my blog. This next silhouette art piece should sum up Mr. Richardson perfectly.

And I mean perfectly.
