A must for creative collectors March 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book shows photos of Blythe wearing creations from dozens of designers all over the world. It is full of inspiration for collectors who design and sew their own fashions for Blythe.
Proudly displayed amongst my other art books July 2, 2006

Gina Garan's "Blythe Style" sits on my shelf with, to mention a few, Matthew Barney's "Cremaster," many books on Joseph Cornell, "Just Above the Mantelpiece: Mass-Market Masterpieces" edited by Wayne Hemingway, Joseph Beuys' "The Multiples," and Patrick McMullan's "So Eighties."
Yes, I do collect the Blythe doll. I'd never in my life collected a doll before (LPs being my main addiction,) but I was drawn to this one, through my introduction via Gina Garan's photography. I think if I had seen a Blythe doll on the shelf, to be honest, I may not have seen what an amazing creature she is. For me, Blythe is not from the human realm; she belongs with the various nixies, dryads, elvish maidens and other elemental beings. I can say that I am one of the people for whom Blythe has become a creative muse, in many areas of artistic expression.
With the US publication of Gina Garan's "Blythe Style," Blythe as fashion icon only increases worldwide. Not only for Blythe fans, but those who are interested in fashion, fashion photography, and art. In these photos by Gina, Blythe models fashions by Milk, John Galliano, Pleats Please by Issey Miyake, Sonia Rykiel, and Vivienne Westwood. The settings, styling, and every aspect of Gina's photography are visually stunning as well as chic and often humorous. I look at this collection again and again.

We all know Blythe is a fashion Icon but who really knew how popular and well connected she was to such great designers as Christian Dior, Versace, PRADA... and many more. Included within are the well known designers of our favorite dolls: Milk, Over The Stripes, Monno Comme Ca, Tommy February6. It's interesting to see their one of a kind designs - the ones that weren't mass produced!
If the cover picture of Blythe in Gucci isn't enough to inspire you to buy this great book I'm not sure what else will.
The pictures are gorgeous, large and bright and the designer outfits are completely adorable (You'll want them all, trust me!). Gina captures the true essence of Blythe with every shot! Buy the book, it's worth it. I can't resist buying a second to cut up and frame!
