Sung Hee Kim and Alexandra Elizabeth look like perfect porcelain dolls in the 'Doll House' editorial for Vogue China's November 2014 issue.
The editorial's title reminds us of Todd Solondz's coming-of-age comedy and independent film 'Welcome to the Doll House.' That's where the similarities between the two begin and end. Whereas the film chronicles the awkward teenage years of 7th grader Dawn Weiner (played by Heather Matarazzo), the editorial documents the sleek beauty and graceful charm of two grown women.
Fashion editor Camille Bidault Waddington chose rich, heavy, botanical patterns for Hee Kim and Elizabeth, which are complemented by the floral curtains and opulent sofa upholstery. The editorial was lensed by the talented Emma Summerton for Vogue China's November issue.
