# Creepy Child-Like Captures The Doll, Dull, Old Photo Series is Full of Eerie Imagination By Meghan Young | Published 2011-03-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doll-dull-old References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Doll-Dull-Old/1091527) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/monokul) Although I may find the Doll, Dull, Old photo series rather creepy, I also seem to be equally captivated by it because I can't seem to tear my eyes from it. Essentially, it pairs one [fashionable model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) with a [disturbing doll figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1) for a child-like sense of play and imagination. Yet what I think I appreciate more than the imagination and playfulness of the Doll, Dull, Old photo series is the fact that the concept seemed to be inspired by the fashion itself. Donning [colorful, eclectic and patchwork designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025), the models come across looking like dolls. When I think about it like that, it almost looks like a fairy tale story. Shot by Momchil Hristov and Antonia Yordanova, the Doll, Dull, Old photo series was photographed for MAXIMUM magazine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Playful Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore incorporating dolls or child-like figures in fashion photography to create unique and attention-grabbing visuals. - **Eerie Imagination in Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine unsettling or creepy elements with artistic concepts to evoke emotions and provoke thought in art. - **Fashion as Inspiration for Concepts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use fashion trends and styles as inspiration for creating imaginative and whimsical concepts in photography or other creative fields. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate unconventional elements or themes into fashion photography to create visually captivating and memorable images. - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with combining different genres and styles to create artwork that challenges traditional perceptions and triggers emotional responses. - **Creative Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Infuse unconventional and imaginative elements into advertising campaigns to grab attention and create a lasting impression on consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Doll-Themed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-film-camera.md) - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Reimagined Doll-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-x-cider-collection.md) - [Whimsical Childlike Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child.md) - [Mesmerizing Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-eyes.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Doll-Inspired Modern Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md)
