doll the rage

Henribendel

The affection that fashion types have for dolls is no secret; from anime-inspired Dunnys and designer-customized Bearbricks to Lanvin Barbie and the Kaiser's own plastic effigy, the professionally chic have no qualms about indulging their inner children. Recently, though, we've been loving a slightly more grown-up iteration: Servane Gaxotte's doll necklaces. The pendants have been around for a few seasons, and have recently gained must-have status in the designer's native Paris, where she has a boutique on the rue Saint Germain des Prés. They're pretty, but with a delightfully goth edge, and every season Gaxotte's girls have different outfits and accessories, from python minidresses and evil-eye charms to frothy tulle skirts and crystal-encrusted torsos. "I first created the dolls while I was pregnant…I was dreaming of dolls!" says Gaxotte, who makes around 80 different versions each season. "And with each one, I seek to create my own dream wardrobe." They're available stateside for around $300 at Henri Bendel in New York (which even has its own custom doll, above) and Bird in L.A.
