Photographer Marco Marezza captured creepy doll horror fashion show images for the September 2013 issue of L'Officiel Thailand. The model, Sibui Nazarenko, posed like a marionette for the 'Just Like a Doll' editorial.
Among a set of dancing dolls and hanging puppets, Nazarenko posed in powerful, theatrical ways as a doll would. This playful piece embraces elements of Victorian Burlesque and goth, thus creating the illusion of another time. The style also mixed modern fashions including some of the current season's bold and colorful contrasts.
Nazarenko poses as a truly living doll. Even the joints on her arms are outlined to emphasis the break in her body's connections. As she poses beside the dangling dolls, she could almost be mistaken for one of them.
Definitely edgy and inspiring, with a touch of spooky elements, this creepy doll editorial still maintains a strong sense of performance art and innovative design.
