Here's a fashion take on Barbie that's just as literal as Jeremy Scott's spring 2015 Moschino collection. Designboom has all the images from the December/January 2015 issue of Vogue Paris, in which photographer Giampaolo Sgura captured models Magdalena Frackowiak and Elisabeth Erm as Barbie-esque dolls representing 12 high-end fashion houses.

The models are shown in boxes surrounded by plenty of accessories to depict each brand, from guitars and punky roller skates for Saint Laurent to perfume bottles for Chanel and sporty tennis gear for Fendi. All the accessories are held in place with those plastic white ties that were such a pain to remove when you were a kid. Styleite thinks the spread is a bit creepy, but even they admit the attention to detail is impressive.
