Colorama

Vibrant, intense, saturated, alive. When selecting textiles for her designs, PJ Nox, creator behind the Hvala Dolls label, takes the four previous modifiers to heart. With overflowing creativity and an uncanny ability to gauge the emotional impact that clothing and color can have, Nox - like all visionaries do - produces styles of an immense power to inspire. 

Dolldom's Luula, a OOAK NuminaDoll Salix, styled, modeled in, and directed this production of daringly poetic imagery, that, not unlike religious iconography, moves us past the banality of mere fashion.

Becoming Luula

Dolldom's collaborations with sculptor Paul Pham culminate with the birth of a universal beauty, one that stands the test of time and pays no attention to fads. It's all about character: integrity, strength, and soul. Her name is Luula. 

Employing the obsidian black resin skintone and Pham's latest female sculpt, Salix, Dolldom's muse is much inspired by the grand Alek Wek. 

To achieve the monochromatic look, Pham applied a coat of satin varnish over the resin. Pham explains the challenges: "Once the varnish is on, anything a deep black underneath will lighten slightly because of the matting agent in the satin varnish, so a deep black will now show up unless a gloss varnish is used. To realize the face-up, I used a special black called Black 3.0 that is both matte and absorbs most of the light spectrum, so it doesn’t bounce back much light, making it a deep matte black."

Luula is the epitome of Pham's artistry and of his firm belief that beauty is truly beautiful when it reflects the human spirit.
