It all starts with an image. It can be of a real girl you meet in the street, or the one you glimpse in a magazine, or the one you see in a movie. Or it can be not a girl but a piece of cloth, say, which immediately turns into a dress which goes so well with flaxen curls, green eyes and a smile of this kind.
Then the would-be doll’s head is molded from a piece of plastic mass. Usually I have at least some idea of what the head should look like, but some “chicks” manage to have their own way even before they are born and come out absolutely not as I have planned them to look.
The next stage is casting a form from the head and parts of a body. The parts are placed into a special frame which is then filled with silicone fluid. In 24 hours the silicone gets hard, and the form is ready.
After that joints and hinges are put into the form, it is assembled, fixed, and put into another form made of wooden plates.
The silicone form is then filled with liquid plastic with all the necessary characteristics: it looks great, has fine texture, and is very solid.
The body parts are ground and polished till the doll’s body feels like silk; it should be extremely smooth and have a mat gloss to it.
Then the doll, still in disjointed parts, goes to the assembly shop. There all the details are put together, eyes are inserted, the nape is fixed, and the doll is ready.
While the would-be doll is cast, polished, and assembled, its clothes, shoes, and accessories are created. The clothes are designed and made by us. We also make shoes and bags; we sew, knit, embroider, decorate, and paint 24 hours a day without ever leaving our workshop.
After the doll is clothed and shod, it’s time to think about accessories and some finishing touches. You can always sputter paint on bags, give your doll a silver cross for a necklace, or stamp an imprint on a T-shirt…
When all the clothes are ready the doll goes to a make-up artist and a hairdresser. There she will have her eyes and lips touched with a little make-up, her fringe cut, her hair trimmed, and her clothes sprinkled with perfume.

After all, they are real girls.
