The hype over Fashion’s Night Out 2010 just doesn’t stop, nor do the
products tied around the massive event. In the wake of A.L.T. t-shirts,
Barneys New York commissioned Brooklyn artist Andrew Yang to create
one-of-a-kind painted dolls of Grace Coddington and Anna Wintour. Yang
says, “I had to special-order Anna’s wig and cut it myself to get the
bob right. And Grace’s hair was the right color, but it needed a perm.”
The two editors took two weeks to make, with the gals dressed in
signature couture looks. And Wintour and Coddington will be doing some
good, doll-size—they’ll be auctioned off on charitybuzz.com starting
August 31, with the proceeds benefiting the New York City AIDS fund.
With these works of art, dolls are definitely not toys just for little
