BLYTHE Dressed By 60 DesignersAn Exhibition Imagined For PRET A PORTER PARIS
|
|
The September 2006 issue of Pret A Porter, Paris presented an exhibition of Blythe dolls including a catwalk show of these unique pieces.
For a long time the BLYTHE doll, born in 1972, interested only collectors (children
finding their eyes too scary). Then in 1997, the photographer Gina Garan received one
as a gift from a friend who thought it resembled her a little. From there started an
incredible story of friendship. Video and television producer Gina took Blythe with
her each time she travelled, photographing her all over the world...
Since 2001, a great number of designers have dressed the dolls: Agatha Ruiz de la Prada / Jean Paul Knott / Christian Lacroix / Chantal Thomass / Cacharel / Dice Kayek / Lutz / Paul & Joe / By Malene Birger / Fred Sathal / Anne Huybens / Anne Willi / Burfitt / Cathy Pill / Corinne Cobson / Katherine Pradeau / Paule Ka / Delphine Charlotte Parmentier / Servane Gaxotte / Gustavo Lins / Ken Okada / Delphine Murat / Repetto / Lefranc Ferrant / Antik Batik / Sandrine Philippe / Elsa Esturgie / Gaelle Barre / Vannina Vesperini / Andre / Gilles Dufour / Isabelle Ballu / Jerôme L'Huillier / Veronique Leroy / Martin Grant / Emily The Strange / Kanabeach / Combhard / Zuwa / Clara Collins / Michel Klein / Marion Hanania / Les jolies Choses / Laurent Mercier / Impasse de la Defense / Philipp Plein / Hannoh H+ / Darja Richter / Leonard / Sakina M'Sa / Lady Soul / Modafusion / Lutin & Lucie Plane / Paco Chicano / Anne Fontaine...
It was the very first time that these dolls have made an appearance in Europe, France or Paris.
The exhibition will continue at the Junie Moon Gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo, before being auctioned
in Tokyo in June 2007 in aid of charitable organizations.
