Tribute to Anna Piaggi - The Circus Twins

Anna Piaggi, who has pass away in age 81, was a grande dame of the fashion world; noted for her electric-blue hair and scene-stealing outfits, she was sometimes described as the most eccentric dresser in Italy. Her professional life was as a journalist and stylist, principally for Vogue Italia; but Anna Piaggi’s fame also rested on her status as muse to designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and the British milliner Stephen Jones, and on her ability to upstage even the most daring of fashionistas. We can often seen her in the front row of fashion showcase, dressed in an exuberant, unique and eclectic way, and she never appearing in the same outfit more than once in public. Such was her influence and knowledge in the fashion world, Manolo Blahnik dubbed her "The world's last great authority on frocks". R.I.P Anna Piaggi, we will miss you!

Here is my tribute to Anna Piaggi - The Circus Twins, OOAK Deva Dolls inspired by Anna Piaggi. This tribute will also mark my last OOAK Deva Dolls, which I will be no longer creating OOAK Deva Dolls. It will be a new chapter of my dolly journey where I will be releasing my own line of 16 inches haute couture doll very soon.I am overly excited about it! So back to The Circus Twins, they are creations out of my comfort zone where vibrant colour and print to mix and match. Bubble skirts, laces blouse and of course not forgetting Anna Piaggi must wear list- the extravaganza headpieces! The make ups are also inspired by Anna Piaggi signature makeup, blue eyeshadow, red lips and cherry red cheeks.

The Circus Twins are one of a kind Deva Dolls specially designed by NiGel.ChiA which is limited to only ONE for each doll in worldwide. Both of them, Anna and Peggy have a reshaped face with higher cheek bone, more refined nose and jaw line. They come with removable head pieces and mohair, golden laces blouse, bubble skirt, golden laces tights, high heels, 2 pairs of hands (one pair with painted gloves, another pair of nude hands). I will consider them as artistic haute couture dolls, either you may like it or hate it!

The Rose D'or Deva Doll

This is the 1st time I am holding a Deva doll in my hands, it is just unbelievable, she have the most desire feature and body with the greatest posability compare to other dolls I had before, well what could I say? She is just fabulous! I have been commissioned to create a whole new look for this Deva doll, including a new face up, hair style and of course not forgetting a NiGel.ChiA couture outfit for her. This transformation took me a few months to complete, due to my heavy schedule of school as well as my other commissions. Anyway, I really enjoy working on her and the sad thing is that I am going to say good bye to her very soon. Her face has been refined, with higher cheek bone, sharper jaw line, some nose and lips job too. I have given her green eyes, with smoky eyes and extra long eyelashes. Tibet Mohair is always my choice for the hair. Raw umber colour hair matches her slightly tan skin tone the best. Beside the face up, her whole body is fully blushed too, with manicure and pedicure. The dress is inspired by the flora, the golden rose particularly which shows in the flower pleated detail on the skirt. As usual, I always fascinated with huge volume dress to create the dramatic look, so with this dress! The doll would not be completed without a pair of heels. The molding of the high heels base took me around 1 week, and it was sent for resin casting. The heels look great after painted and some detail design. So, without further ado, I will like to present NiGel.ChiA 1st OOAK Deva Doll, The Rose D'or.
