ALL DOLLED UP


To celebrate Fashion's Night Out on 10 September, Barneys New York commissioned Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Yang to create these one-of-kind, hand-sewn, hand-painted rag-doll replicas of the celebrated Vogue editors: Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington.

Quoted in T Magazine, Yang says: "I had to special-order Anna’s wig and cut it myself to get the bob right. And Grace’s hair was the right color, but it needed a perm. The outfits are my own take on their signature looks as it would have been unfair to single out specific designers."

If you have a few rands and cents lying around, the Anna and Grace dolls will be auctioned off on charitybuzz.com from today with the proceeds benefiting The New York City Aids Fun. Starting bids are from $500 (R3750) - Mart
