Dolls kill



By Ksenia Gladysheva

The 4 life of a glitter dress: 
I love recycling stuff but I am also recycling myself. 
"you have so much stuff" It is because actually keep everything and I wear them differently along the years. 

I found this long-glittery-80's- salsa dance  dress on a flee market for 10 euros 5 years ago.

I wore it 4 years ago in the Concorde fountains for its"mermaid style" for picture with Constance Doyle  and the dress survive to the filthy water!

For Portobello Carnival I cut the dress to make it short and add some feather at the bottom and on the sleeves.

Then, I took of the feathers to use if for another costume and I had the dolls face

Then, I took off the dolls, cut off the sleeves, added some pink fabric to create a cabaret halter dress. 
I like the idea of a garment always moving and evolving according your mood and your needs.

I made this collaboration with Anka clothing, another designer exhibited at Cult Mountain. I love the mix of material, velvet and holographic fabric, Between the goth rock of the Cure and the Grunge of Curt Cobain. I felt this neo sea-punk style would be perfect to reveal the dark of creepy side of my jewels.

I like intercultural collaboration in art and design, and with Samar F. Zia a Pakistanis fine artist and M.U.A we decided to confront the standardised "American" barbie beauty with the oriental notion of beauty more based on rituals.

The idea was to mix my barbie jewels with traditional Kashmiri clothes like Kurta. with its beautiful handmade embroideries.

By Baneen MirzaWith my white skin and my blond hair I am not really credible as a Kashmiri princess by Samar, as a great make up artist didn't try to make me more "oriental" by for example darkening my skin (which would have been bad taste) but simply by choosing the colours that would match the best with the garment.

  1. Your creativity is really impressive. I love how you were able to recycle that dress so many times, each time breathing new life into it...You're an artist!
    The jewelry collaboration is a dream, besides being stunning, it's visually provocative (and intellectually provocative if you give it some thought). I love that you have questioned the Barbie standard of beauty in this way.

    Your post is a feast for the eyes and food for the thought!
