Inspired by the American Dolls that can be customized to look exactly like their owners, the Ilona Szwarc American Girl series portrays girls and their identical doll twins.
It is amazing to see all the different skin tones, hair colors and styles as well as all the clothing options that let young girls truly make these dolls their own. You can get the dolls a matching outfit that looks exactly like the clothes you wear, with the same patterns and accessories. One girl got her doll a miniature version of her pet pony, while another decked her doll out in ski gear to match her own.
The Ilona Szwarc American Girl portrait series looks at the extreme personalization of dolls.
