# Realistic Fashion Model Replicas This Model Doll is a 3D-Printed Version of a Real-Life Model By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-21 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-doll References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2015/09/18/3d-printed-supermodel-doll/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [modollproject](http://www.modollproject.com/) Photography studio Santiago & Mauricio created a 3D-printed, jarringly realistic model doll version of real-life fashion model Lindsey Wixson. Wixson, with her distinctive pouting lips and gap teeth, was a natural candidate for the model doll project; the unusual model doll is easily recognizable as a replica of the American runway darling. The 20-inch 3D-printed model doll -- called 'Modoll' -- poses for photos wearing miniature facsimiles of Fall/Winter 2015 runway looks, including designs by Miu Miu, Prada and Marc Jacobs. Her wigs are created by celebrated wig stylist Thanos Samaras, while artist Ralph Siciliano does her air-brushed makeup and manicures. Working in partnership with their team of stylists, artists and designers, as well as Lindsey Wixson's agency The Society Management, it took Santiago & Mauricio one full year to create the model doll. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3d-printed Model Dolls:** Creating model dolls using 3D printing technology can provide an opportunity for fashion models and photographers to showcase their work in a new medium. - **Realistic Replicas:** Using 3D printing technology to create realistic replicas of people or objects can provide new opportunities for various industries, such as fashion, film, and entertainment. - **Miniature Fashion Replicas:** Designers can use 3D printing technology to create miniature replicas of their fashion designs, which can be used for photo shoots, exhibitions, or as collectibles for fashion enthusiasts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and photographers can use 3D printing technology to create new products and showcase their work in a different format, such as model dolls or miniature replicas. - **Film and Entertainment:** 3D printing technology can be used to create realistic replicas of characters or props for films, TV shows, and video games, providing new opportunities for the entertainment industry. - **Collectibles:** The creation of miniature model dolls or fashion replicas through 3D printing technology can lead to the development of unique collectibles for fashion enthusiasts or collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collectable Sculptural Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll.md) - [Campaign-Quality GenAI Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelz-digital-twins.md) - [Runway-Inspired Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luv-fashion-doll.md) - [Streetwear-Informed Collectible Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momoko-doll.md) - [AI-Powered Digital Fashion Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelz-x-le-troch.md) - [Selfie-Based Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs.md) - [Fashion Legend Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie.md) - [Representation-Focused Toy Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laverne-cox-1.md) - [Two-Sided Paper Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megadolls.md)
