Sometimes dolls don't come in boxes on shelves; sometimes they come in human form.
This is a collection of ten great examples of human dolls. From doll faces to mannequin editorials, to kids as dolls, these are all examples of doll images applied to human life. Take a look at this group of dolls brought to life.
Implications - Considering the Barbie-like ideals that were previously set for women in society, it is interesting to see that fashion lookbooks are gearing towards these babydoll looks to present just how doll-like models and females in general have become. As these types of ideals are always changing, companies are morphing the idea of aesthetic "perfection" for girls, presenting them with a variety of ways to look like the individuals seen within magazines.
