As I was reading Vogue yesterday afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice the numerous references to famous artists and collectors, including historical figures such as Gertrude Stein. Frankly, I was relieved to read a fashion mag cover to cover without stumbling upon the headline, “Prints Charming,” which too many fashion editors have included in recent spreads. However, I was more pleased to read about classic pieces inspiring modern designs that reminded me of the modern art class I took at Western last year, which featured works by Sonia Delaunay, for example.
Recently, French artist Jocelyne Grivaud sought inspiration from famous artwork to create sculptures resembling not only Mattel’s Barbie dolls, but also classic women from the art world.
Check out some of my favourites:
- Marilyn Monroe
- Avatar
- Girl With a Pearl Earring
- Mona Lisa

Agreed! Definitely cool that she hasn’t boxed herself into one niche & is all about diversifying her brand.
I have the Brandy doll. I used to be a HUGE Brandy fan back in her “I wanna be down” days and got the doll as a gift. It’s still in the box on my dresser. LOL.
