Doll's Style

If 2007's shapeless, airy frocks were about looking like a doll, then 2008 is about being a girl again. Ballerinas and school girls have been crowding the fall/winter 2008 runways. Gwen Stefani announced the release her Harajuku Lovers fragrances in doll-shaped bottles (due out later this year). Michael William's Haute Dollhouse has adult women drooling. And a slew of "innocent" scents from names like Yves Saint Laurent, Vera Wang, Thierry Mugler, and Demeter are hitting the shelves.

Does all of this mean we on the verge of a new wave of Kawaii style, where women have permission to aesthetically revert to childhood? (I'll leave the answer up to the girls at fashionablycute.net.) Or does this just mean it's okay for us to play with dolls again? (In which case, I'm totally not there!) I worship high end and vintage style not the "cutie doll play with pink" style. So goodbye dolls, thanks for y'all color inspiration tho!
