Asian fashion doll

Asian fashion doll

Asian fashion dolls are fashion dolls that are made by Asian manufacturers or primarily targeted to an Asian market. Some have received international attention, such as with Momoko Doll [ [http://www.fashiondollquarterly.com/files/momoko.pdf Fashion Doll Quarterly 2005 article on Momoko Doll] ] , and in 2005 the first first annual Dollstyle convention was held in Tokyo. [ [http://www.fashiondollquarterly.com/columns1205.html Fashion Doll Quarterly 2005 article "First Annual Dollstyle Convention" (in Tokyo)] ]

Many of these dolls have Asian or anime style features. Clothing lines may include Asian themes and in some cases Asian names (such as "Momoko" or "Taeyang" [ [http://www.junplanning.co.jp/item/taeyang_namu/taeyang_index.htm Taeyang at Jun Planning] ] ). Some Asian fashion dolls are dominated by Western dress, such as with Momoko Doll's lineup [ [http://www.momokodoll.com/lineup/index.php Momoko Doll lineup] ] , Pullip's wardrobe [ [http://www.junplanning.co.jp/item/pullip/pullip_index.html Pullip lineup] ] , or the extensive Jenny fashions [ [http://www.fashiondollquarterly.com/files/jenny.pdf Fashion Doll Quarterly article on Jenny] ] . More traditional Asian dress is also represented, such as with kimono-centric Annz dolls [ [http://www.annz.jp/ Annz site] ] . A number of other dolls also dress in kimonos such as Jenny, Momoko, Pullip, etc.
