Happy New Year! Louis Vuitton Paper Dolls

Happy New Year my lovelies!  I am looking forward to a fabulous 2013.  The state of Spring 2013 fashion is one reason I am optimistic.   Louis Vuitton presented souvenirs of their collection in a whimsical collection of paper dolls.

The looks were put together by stylist Kim Hersov and beautifully illustrated by Kerrie Hess.  Kerrie is a Paris-based Australian fashion illustrator who has collaborated with everyone from Vogue, Kate Spade to Chanel.  The Louis Vuitton site has a fun video profiling this project.  To download the paper dolls for yourself, you can get them here!

Elaine Pedlar's Couture Paper Dolls

 Many people who work in the fashion industry have dreams of busting out to follow their passion.  For Elaine Pedlar, she succeeded in the triple threat of fashion illustration, opening her own boutique and paper dolls.

A designer by trade, Ms. Pedlar debuted her pop-up boutique, Dumbelle in Dumbo, Brooklyn with a mix of her fashion illustration paper dolls, cushions and coloring books.

You never have to worry about your dolls being out of fashion.  The designer will be creating new collections for the girls every season.  

Dumbelle is located at 145 Front Street in Brooklyn and will be open until September 1, 2011.
