People Into Dolls - The Photo Manip Art of Airin Klein

Kato - of Steampunk Couture

Hel

Airin Klein artistically enhances and manipulates photos - turning people into Ball Joint Dolls.
Discovered via Steampunk Couture - whose designer Kato is the model in top photo.
I shared a creepy version of this concept from Vogue Italia previously here.
These are really pretty, subtle, and yet still a bit eerie.
Here are some before and afters - more photos and model credits here.

Steampunk Couture by Kato - Fashion Beyond Costumes

Independent Fashion Designer Kato creates original Steampunk apparel for sale through her newly revamped http://www.steampunkcouture.com webstore. Even if you are not familiar with the Steampunk genre you will admire her unique designs, creative style, and beautifuly presented fashions. There are full costume ensembles as well as individual pieces -- some of which could cross over into edgy everyday wear. Really, I would so wear that Tentacle Poncho come Fall.
