As the designer of DOLLY I'm always on the look out for inspiration and things that move me. I also love the latest trends around in the graphics world like Ai is concurring the world at the moment and how its creating fascinating images and videos, which I think is great when used in the correct way. The possibilities are just endless. How magical is that. However, on the other hand, growing up in an artistic and classic environment ( gen X) I like 'old fashioned' and hand made at the same time as well. Maybe even more now with Ai around. Created and made by hand is even more special now in the current Ai era. Actual painting with a brush really is WYSIWYG ‘what you see is what you get’

As a child I always drew and painted a lot and later even more when I went to fashion school. I liked drawing fashion sketches and model drawing even more than designing or making fashion. I love how my icon Karl Lagerfeld has his certain signature style in his fashion sketches so at fashion school my own signature style emerged as well.  

For the last decade I recide a few months a year in my home away from home in Andalusia in the south of Spain and have a head full of ideas ready to create. I bought myself some new sets of paint brushes and started painting and creating characters and a world around DOLLY for my DOLLY brand. New DOLLY products will emerge and DOLLY's world will grow. Products I adored as a very young child and where my own imagination started...

More news awaits... 

What was the inspiration for my DOLLY WORLD Collection?

The Barbie movie with Margot Robbie from 2023 was a big inspiration for me as the DOLLY designer. I must admit that as a child I did not have Barbie dolls, but one Cindy doll. I was more into plush animals, painting and board games. Later, when my love for 50's and 60's fashion begun, Barbie was added to my inspiration list with her stylish looks from those same eras. My DOLLY brand has a lot of pink shades and Barbie's world too. Besides our signature color Ballet Pink, Barbie pink is on DOLLY's palette since the beginning too.

Campaign Style Photos

For the DOLLY WORLD campaign pictures I photographed our new muse real Dolly Mannequin with my dresses and tutus on ai Barbie World inspired backgrounds. The mannequin and dresses you see are real, so you see the actual products from the collection. Ai is the trend of today and I love the imagination and style of ai backgrounds because it fits perfectly with the style and themes of my DOLLY collections. I always photographed my daughter Isabella, which was my muse model till she became a teenager and I made a real mannequin dolly resembling her to replace her. On all my campaigns you can see Isabella photographed on the front and often, more mysterious, on the back looking towards a 'world' or a scenery in an outside nature location. That gives a bit of a stylistic image which is my signature as a red thread to the many years of DOLLY. ( Yes, next year 2025 we will celebrate our 20th. anniversary!)

The DOLLY WORLD Collection is all about pink, Barbie pink, big puff sleeves, beautiful balloon dresses, tops & skirts wearing comfortably light like your on puffy clouds. Made from buttery soft shiny satin organza keeping perfect shape creating stunning DOLLY silhouettes. Feel and wear it to believe it!
