NiniMomo is constantly creating binders of
inspiring images they come across within the world of fashion and are truly
in awe of those who create fashion as Art. Having backgrounds in fashion and
photography, Nik and Marie are constantly keeping on top of the latest
designers, models and for that case, all that goes on in the fashion world,
incorporating these new ideas into their pageant collections. However,
sometimes inspiration makes a strong impact regardless of where it fits in
the spectrum of NiniMomo. And we present to you just one of those cases.
At last year's ICP - International Center of
Photography - Nik and his partner, Bjoern visited their newest exhibition at
the time, "Weird Beauty". Immediately the two were enthralled and mesmerized
by the hundreds of striking images created of fashion as art throughout the
decades. One photographer and one image in particular grabbed the
attention of the two - the famed 2007 "egg dress" photographed by Tim
Walker, one of the most talented photographers of the present. It was not
only the whimsical styling of the actual dress but the photograph's stark
feel and the combination of the two together. Although the photo has been
created in 2007, the mood of the image evoked a 60's vibe.
As a Christmas gift, NiniMomo created two
special dolls for Bjoern, inspired from this special photograph. Using the
60's themed Pop Life Barbies, yards of tulle and our hallmark hand-sewn
beadwork, we created our very own version of Egg Dolls. As cool and couture
as they are, the dresses also have a whimsical Easter feel to them. These
tulle dresses have been created by sewing multiple panels of tulle in layers
upon layers on a base of a short-sleeved organza mini dress. Once completed,
the dresses have been accented throughout with shimmering miniscule sequins
matching the color of the dress.
Each doll received pantyhose, an organza
rabbit eared headband with hand-beaded accents, boots and jewelry that plays along with that 60's
styling. Custom facial
repaints
were the final touches.
With Easter right around the corner, we're
offering all of you the opportunity to own one of these fabulous Egg Dolls
in a wide variety of colors and any doll of your choice. All our Egg Dolls
will come on fully articulated bodies which create some really amazing model
poses. You choose the type of doll you'd like to have for your very own
NiniMomo Egg Doll. Our biggest suggestion to anyone interested is to stick with
a doll that somewhat falls into the retro feel of this theme as they really
turn out cool!
