Its coming up to two years since I moved out of sharing space at Hillman Studio and migrated to my own menagerie across town. I now miss out on overseeing *ear-wigging / spying* on their preparations for incredible shoots and witnessing the iconic visuals coming together. But I still have a hot-line tapped into the switchboard mainframe to check in when I get wind of the latest projects popping up. The most recent being this larger than life feat of making a magnified manifestation of an antique doll for Tim Walker. In Alex's behing-the-scenes shots, you can see Andy assembling the doll parts with the help of close collaborators - Andy Knight set builders. Every minute detail was executed with care and consideration from the tightness of the curls in her hair to the eyes which moved .......... incidentally terrifying unsuspecting members of the crew on location. The editorial for the latest Vogue Italia named "Like A Doll" can also be seen in full for a quick reference in a piece "Doll Parts" over on Between Peace & Happiness. Jacob K's styling is a powder hue and pastel shade Shirley Temple meets Riot Grrrl theme with a subtle sinister Myra Hindley slant! Even the doll has a few different looks for each colour-centric shot from her dress, undergarments and muslin pantaloons to the changing bow in her hair.......(All imagery c/o Alex Cunningham for Hillman Studio)
