Toy-Inspired Fashion

The Xiao Li Collection is Made Both Miniature and Real-Life Sized

I can't get enough of this one-of-a-kind Xiao Li collection. As one of five winning contestants from a Chinese fashion competition, Xiao Li originally made a miniature line that was then made wearable (I use that term loosely) for a fun runway show.

Inspired by tin toys, the Xiao Li Collection is vibrantly colorful and features avant-garde apparel that pops right out at you (quite literally, in fact). Check out the gallery for both the miniature and real-life collection.
