“Beauty Lies in the Eye of the Beholder” is not merely a phrase, and Russian fashion designer duo Ekaterina (Katya) and Elena (Lena) Popovy, better known as “Popovy Sisters,” are living proof of this. These identical twin sisters create some of the most realistic dolls you will ever lay your eyes upon.

Twin sisters Ekaterina and Elena Popovy have been causing a furor in the fashion doll scene since 2004. Using only hand sketches and their creative ambition, the duo utilizes an impressive range of talents to bring their visions to life in each unique project and collection they put out.

After releasing the first visuals of their “Sisters” dolls in 2012, they have gone on to make waves in the fashion world on a global scale.

Everything started with two russian twin sisters Ekaterina and Elena Popovy, are professional artists and fashion designers.

Homages to haute couture are a dime a dozen, but it’s not often that this phenomenon is celebrated in the form of such beautiful, bespoke dolls. Twin sisters Ekaterina and Elena Popovy have built a highly sought-after portfolio of ethereal ‘art-dolls’, each modelled after high fashion haute couture looks, and in the wake of New York and London Fashion weeks they have just released limited edition prints of Jeannette I + II, dolls commissioned by none other than Jean Paul Gaultier.

Born and raised in Russia, the Popovy twins have spent the last decade obsessing over every intricate detail on their dolls. With a cult following (they have over a quarter of a million Instagram followers) Ekaterina and Elena are revealing today’s huge demand for one-off, handmade dolls. The demand is so great in fact, that if you’d like to buy one yourself, you’ll have to sit on the waiting list for at 2017.

With a flair for the dramatic, these works celebrate fashion photography in all of its glamour. Relishing style, femininity and allure, Popovy dolls have become somewhat of a fashion icon recently, appearing in the pages of The Huffington Post, Flaunt and Vogue itself. For those who don’t want to wait a year for their own high fashion doll, you can now buy their photographic prints – but be warned, starting at $1,545 each, they’ll cost you a pretty penny.

Their portrait dolls are inspired by personalities and every doll is handmade from start to finish.

In the beginning they tried to not only make portrait dolls, but also convey the nature of the characters through their gestures and costumes.

However, portrait dolls didn’t seem to allow them to express themselves as designers, so they started experimenting with different materials.

The Popovy dolls are hauntingly real, crafted with the utmost attention to detail, including deep eyes, freckles, and overall appearance. The “Popovy Sisters” release a new collection of dolls, clothes, and suitable jewelry every year to be exhibited all over the world.

They finally found the perfect solution, they combined their contemporary art passion for doll art with their passion for fashion design.

Which has now grown into small conceptual collections of 10 – 15 dolls.

And something really cute is that each and every doll made by the Popovy Sisters has a tiny hand painted butterfly somewhere on it.

The contemporary artists won several awards for their creations as well, such as Best Doll Master at the International Doll Salon in Moscow, the Haute Couture prize of Doll Magazine for Hathor of Cult project and many more.

We called our brand Sisters, obviously, because we are identical twins. It describes ourselves and our attitude towards our dolls. Our symbol is a butterfly moth and our main character is a teenage girl: a moth girl. The fragile and delicate doll bodies are dressed in a complicated haute couture costumes. To achieve resonance, we collide gentle girl figures with complex, often aggressive predatory haute couture costumes and extravagant shoes with incredibly high femme fatale heels.

From fashion design to hair and makeup - from photography to the printing process, the Popovy Sisters are among a shrinking group of artists who can quite literally do it all. Now working with internationally know brands and artists such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton shoe designer Fabrizio Viti, and Die Antwoord’s Yolandi Visser—who quite resembles a Popovy doll IRL., the duo have built an incredible series of collections displaying their visions of beauty an femininity.

Their portrait dolls are inspired by personalities and every intricate, stunning, one of a kind Ball Join Doll is handmade from start to finish. In 2017 Sisters first exhibiting their surreal fine art photography.

At that time, we were very interested in influential personalities, such as actors and people from show business, and we did a lot of sketching of those people with different facial expressions. Our first portrait doll was Ville Valo (HIM), then Madonna, John Galliano, Johnny Depp, Dita Von Teese, and, of course, Marilyn Manson. We are not supporters of standard beauty; we like personalities and looks that stand out, are revolutionary, even wild. We got dragged into the process and did not want to stop. After the portrait dolls, we decided to make a collection based on fictional and historical characters called Fashion Moon. It became our first thematic series and determined our style and our destiny, as it was our first “success story” as professional artists.
