Summer Fashion Collection: the Girls in Japan!

Last spring Sasha went to Japan, I couldn't go with him this time, so he gracefully agreed to share his pictures for the Blog.

As you know I've been working on a new summer collection for the girls for a while. I saw these pictures from Etro's 2015 summer collection, and I thought I could pick some ideas for a sort of ethnic collection for the girls!

The girls are thrilled, as they haven't got much attention lately, but only on the blog, as I've been playing around and photographing them for a while. Until I think I came up with the right poses (as usual I ended up watching at Avedon's pictures of Twiggy and Verushka). I think Sasha this time outdid himself....

These Japanese Temples and Sanctuaries, with their elegance, make a perfect setting to display this collection.

For the dresses I used mostly viscosa, jeans, silk (I will not try again until I'm better with viscosa) and an acrilyc fabric in a Missoni fantasy. The final result is very different from the Etro designs, apart from Camilla's and Giada's outfits, but I just needed an theme to start with (I had "girl's fashions cramp" after spending so much time on the guys' suits!)

Let me know which is your favourite, I'm still looking for the "perfect look" for these girls

Agata: Temple of the Golden Pavillon - Detail of the Garden

Camilla: Temple of the Golden Pavillon

Caterina: Miyajima island -  Floating Gate to the shinto temple of the God of Seas

Cecilia: Kyoto -  Kiyomizu Buddhist Temple

Giada - Kyoto:  Kodaiji Temple's garden

Veronica: Kyoto:  Kodaiji Temple's garden

Vittoria: Kyoto:  Kodaiji Temple's garden

Colours of Springtime: featuring Giada

To celebrate Springtime, Giada grabbed Odette's new dress and decided to pose for these colourful pictures, she likes a lot to be wrapped in silk......
She's nearly as happy as I am that the warm season has come back, we couldnt' stand those rainy days any longer!!!!

See you soon!

A new girl: Giada

Supposedly she will be the last entry from the older collections, just like for the Agnes sculpt it took me a long time to pick my Eugenia.

Thanks to missJay I finally made my decision. I don't really like velvet eyes but all the rest was so beautiful I felt I could overcome this minor fault.

First thing: her hair!!!! I love redheads,  I started collectint IT dolls because of their beautiful redheads!

After all the eyes are not so annoying and her makeup is really soft, expecially the lips. I really appreciate this because I didn't choose Deconstruction Site Eugenia because I was put off by her lips (really she looks like she has an enflatable dinghy in the middle of her face! I know I didn't have this problem with Caterina - Tatyana, it depends from the overall face sculpt I suppose)

So I have to say that has it usually happened the real doll looked even more beautiful than the pictures of her I saw!
A few words on the outfit: is wonderful, love this shade of green and the model reminds me something from Dior I've seen somewhere.

Also the shoes and jewels are amazing!

From now on she will be called Giada, and yes, shes BEAUTIFUL!!!!
