Fusing a crazy creativity with a contemporary take on fairytales, Mi Lajki presented a new take on summer dressing at Stockholm Fashion Week. Borrowing from the aesthetic of popular models including Gemma Ward and Lily Cole, extreme manipulated doll faces featured porcelain finishes, exaggerated brows, and dramatic lips that were collages over the models' features. Eerie and unsettling, the subverted beauty overshadowed the jewelry and clothing, creating an effective catwalk statement that was one of the highlights of the event.
