Being a model can make you feel like a mannequin- everybody stares at you while you pose in clothes, then people dress you up, telling you how to stand and what look you should have on your face. It’s enough to make a model feel like they’re losing touch with their humanity, like a plastic doll set out on display for a night then put away in a box until the next fashion show.
Photographer Giampaolo Sgura decided to take this plastic doll theme and put a fun spin on it by shooting supermodels posing as Barbie type plastic dolls in their packages for the December/January 2015 issue of Vogue Paris.
Giampaolo’s series approaches the plastic posing people theme with a sense of whimsy, and yet the underlying idea of models being seen as little more than visual objects challenges viewers to think about how the world looks through a model's eyes.
