PAPER DOLLS


Paper Horse eyelashes £14


When I was a little girl, I used to spend hours and hours playing with beautiful sets of paper dolls that my mother would bring home as a special treat for not making her completely insane that week. I would just escape into a parallel universe and let my imagination run wild, and build lives and stories, for my darling paper creatures.




I was so thrilled discover these amazingly beautiful and delicate paper....Yes paper eyelashes from new designer Paperself. Based on the ancient art of Chinese paper cutting, the designs for these eyelashes were inspired by the paper cutting skills that aristocratic girls were expected to master before becoming brides. Grab them while you can online or in the store!




Still need a bit of a paper fix?  Then meet Jum Nakao paper cutter extraordinaire! The dresses are made entirely out of paper.  The 2005 collection took over 700 hours of incredibly detailed work to produce, only to be ripped, torn to pieces by the models as they stood along the runway at the end of the show.
