The Karlie Kloss 'Russian Dolls' spread in the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) UK October 2010 issue radiates the pages with traditional figurine costumes and poses.

Dressed in exotic Russian pieces, Karlie Kloss brings forth [lifelike dolled-up looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll) with layered fabrics of fringes, sequins and tutus. While most of the styles are inspired by clowns, there is nothing funny about this spread. Instead, the Karlie Kloss 'Russian Dolls' editorial is embellished with fanciful Russian culture.

**Implications** - My favorite part of this editorial is that it pays tribute to historical Russian culture without eschewing modern fashion style. By combining modernity, [traditional Russian pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anita-dongre), and odd clown costumes, the 'Russian Dolls' editorial is memorable.
