Paola Zakimi

I grabbed a copy of Frankie Magazine to read on the plane and there was an article on this Argentinian artist now living in Cordoba making these utterly adorable dolls. I say they are adorable, but if they were real life people, they would be those girls who are intimidatingly arty and intellectual, with seriously weird clothes that make you feel like chucking your wardrobe and sewing up a whole new one made with old printed silks and antique lace, with jumbled up jewelry and leather boots hand made by some artisanal shoemaker friend.
