A Delightful Surprise from Glammourdoll Designs

Doll couturière Karen Holshouser enjoys making original miniature fashion statements for dolls, ranging from Barbie to Tyler and Gene.  To stretch her creative talents further, she reworks factory-produced fashions into stylish new designs.  On occasion, these designs will end up as prizes to members of her Yahoo group.  Imagine my delight when I won one of these creations!

Special THANKS to Karen for sharing her talents and expanding the joys of sewing to our next generation of collectors!

The Imaginative Couture of Andrew Yang and His Kouklitas

Imagine my surprise when, heading out to enjoy the festivities at Barney's New York on Fashion's Night Out, I came upon them.  There...in the windows...in all their glory...THE KOUKLITAS!  But the window displays were just the tip of the fashion doll iceberg.  Displayed on the 4th floor of Barneys was an entire collection of OOAK dolls wearing an au courant selection of couture by some of the most notable names in international fashion.
