London College of Fashion graduate Anna Chong, 23, has recreated Lady Gaga's most iconic outfits -- including the infamous meat dress -- to promote the Harumika fashion dolls at London Toy Fair.
The mini meat dress is made from three slices of Parma ham, which is wrapped around the mini mannequins for young girls.
Other designs for the Harumika fashion dolls (which let anyone be a fashion designer) include Lady Gaga's lobster outfit and the bubble dress sported on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
