Babushka Gets A Makeover
Last November Vogue Russia had a deceptively simple editorial featuring these Matryoshka dolls hand painted to resemble the styles of various imminent designers. Considering I have drawn nesting dolls in designer collections myself numerous times, these are some souvenirs I wish could be bought at the tourist traps...More here

I remember these. They were fabulous - and numerous! I'd love to have access to them too.

I'd kill for the last one - amazing little details... Oh my.
Haha, this is great!
Love these nesting dolls! So stylized and perfect...
Such gorgeous dolls!
Oh wow! These are truly covetable.
I really wish I had not seen them cos I may well start obsessing about them now...
Thanks for sharing, nonetheless.
Ahhhh the first one, with spike studs?! Like an accident waiting to happen, so intriguing... I want it. I just need to find myself a minimalist room now.
i have this raw wood babushka with baby ones in it that i havent painted yet, so these are very inspiring!
a family friend brought me a set of babushka dolls from russia a long time ago! these are so neat.
These are awesome! I'm really starting to tire of seeing spikes/studs everywhere though...
aw...I completely forgot about these. I love them ;)
that cute!

These are simply rad :)
I love the cream one with the red lips! But they're all so lovely. My grandmother had a set that my sister and I always played with...but they were nothing like these:)
i love them all! i remember these from childhood, so refreshing to see a more modern look.

I can't say I've seen them before but they're adorable! I love the second to the last one, such great red lips and color scheme! It matches your blog!
AH! I was going to post on these too, aren't they too GORGEOUS for words? I have so many favourites, here it'd be the Blumarine (pink) Babushka :) LOVE Babushka's!

So cute! My Mom found a few at a small Indian shop in Japan and bought them. These are gorgeous though! Love your new? banner!
Those nesting dolls are terribly badass.
the black one with the oink ribbon is like YSL?
I love the idea!
I'll love buy some of this dools.
Thanks for visit my blog!
i love the last one. but they're all amazing. i love these creative ideas, so amazing. it's such a random thing to do though, but completely wonderful at the same time.
omgosh so cute!!
I remember I was obsessed with Russian dolls when I was little. I've got to say those are really stylish dolls lol! Love the spikes on the first one! That is such a great idea. I wish I had one! :)
Sincerely Louie, Ciao!
i love these! i wish they sold these in those little tourist knick-knack shops. i remember i used to have so much fun with those dolls as a kid, but those are definetly art.

TOTALLY IN LOVE!!!!!! I can't choise! Everyone is so beautiful!
As you know, I love dolls of any sort and this is blowing my mind! I hadn't heard about this editorial before... so thank you for sharing!
Totally brilliant!
they are designed for designers ?
ione of them reminds me of anna sui . i'm not sure why
Love the dolls Mika (www.mikascrap.typepad.com)
These are epic! Each has so much character.
My friend is obsessed with these, I shall have to pass on the link!
Oh my gosh. These are great! x
These are awesome. Thanks for commenting btw (:
Those are so cute! :D
Re: Yes, lace is beautiful. I really don't know how to get my hands on the perfect piece, maybe I'll have to make it myself. However, I know lace is hard to work with, so I guess I just have to keep looking! =)
Thanks for commenting!
i love the second and the third one <3
Omg those are really pretty, i would love to have a collection of them!
I really like the 2nd and last one :)
I love russian dolls. I really want one of these now!
The spiked one looks awesome! :D
These are lovely. I've always wanted at least one set of Matroskas for my own too XD
The one wit studs are so fierce.
My friend and I were just checking out some Matryoshka dolls the other day. I was remembering a lovely set I had as a little girl, but sadly lost somehow. I really like the concept behind these! The second one down with the shapes and patterns is really pleasing to look at.
saw them, loved them. my favorites are the Giles and Margiela ones.
I used to have a normal one, which I wish I still had, because it would be totally awesome if I painted over the original paint!
the first one is great. the doll represents such a specific culture and to see her with spikes is cool :)
i've always wanted to start a collection of nesting dolls.
For a very very young age i have loved russian dolls and I want each and every one of these!
hello sweetheart!! They are great!! but if you want the right name for them than say Matroshka to them, this is the real russian name.
babushka is grandmother in russian!!
thank you for the post!! love them!!
@Kuhlchikk,
Thanks, but I actually knew that. I refer to them as Matroshka dolls in the post--the title was more of a reference to their history/classicness rather than a literal name for them...
