Viktor & Rolf play with dolls, too

Jason Wu isn't the only designer with a well-documented doll obsession. In 2008 Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren masterminded a exhibition of 54 porcelain dolls dressed in their designs inside a six-meter dollhouse at London's Barbican Art Gallery. (See here).

The installation exists of 20 miniature porcelain dolls representing signature looks from their collections from 1992 until the present. The dolls were designed by Dutch architect Siebe Tettero, a longtime collaborator of the designers, who also created the dollhouse for their London show. For anyone planning to be in Dusseldorf, the show's up until February 28.
