Popovy Sisters Holiday Editions with Michael Costello
Fashion and art come together like never before as celebrity fashion designer Michael Costello and award-winning doll makers the Popovy Sisters launch their limited edition photographs of one-of-a-kind dolls with Costello-designed doll- sized gowns.
Art-world darlings, twins Elena and Ekaterina Popovy, have been called the new wave of Russian art-doll designers. Born in Perm and currently living in St. Petersburg, Ekaterina and Elena have been crafting dolls since 2004. Their early works were formed with the faces of popular idols of the time, including Marilyn Manson, Dita von Teese, Madonna, and John Galliano. Their unique ball-joint dolls are handmade from start to finish, combining their passion for fashion design and doll art. Ekaterina and Elena create small conceptual collections of only 10-15 dolls each year. These unearthly dolls have received numerous awards, including Best Doll Master at the International Doll Salon in Moscow, and the Haute Couture prize of Doll Magazine for the Hathor of Cult project. Their collectors number among the creative elite – the couturier Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton shoe designer Fabrizio Viti, and Die Antwoord’s Yolandi Visser (who rather resembles a Popovy doll herself). Their work has been featured in Vogue, Flaunt, the New York Times, Basic, and many other international publications.
The Michael Costello brand, with its celebrity clientele, soft draping, and massive sex appeal, has secured its place in the fashion industry as one of the decade’s most sought- after brands. Costello’s appreciation for feminine beauty, and his passion for continuously pushing the boundaries of fashion, create dynamic, bold, statement-making moments for women. A self-taught prodigy, at the age of two Costello began by drawing dresses on his bedroom walls and went on to open his first store at the tender age of 15. Since then, Costello has built a massive empire by making women of all shapes and sizes feel beautiful, and upending an industry that lacked diversity and excitement. While many fans recognize him from Lifetime’s “Project Runway” franchise, Costello’s brand has blossomed into an
international household name beyond mainstream television. Michael Costello’s exquisite dresses dominate every prestigious red carpet award show, from the Grammys to the Oscars. He has dressed stars the likes of Beyonce, JLo, Lady Gaga, and Kate Hudson. His work has graced the covers of the New York Times and People Magazine, and has been featured on major news organizations around the world from the Associated Press and CNN to Access Hollywood and E!, and shown in fashion publications such as Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, and Marie Claire.
When asked about the collaboration, Michael Costello had this to say: “I first discovered the Popovy Sisters years ago on Instagram. It was late at night, around 2 AM, and I was scrolling through my feed because I couldn’t sleep. When I saw the Popovy Sisters’ dolls, I was instantly captured [by] the dark, twisted, fantasies of the dolls! After seeing that the dolls have done a few collaborations with other high fashion designers, I knew that one day, I wanted to work with them!
“As a designer, I am constantly inspired by art. These dolls are so captivating and each seem to exude a different personality that is so life-like! My inspiration for the collection was a magical “Michael Costello” fantasy surrounding “A Day In the Life of the Popovy Dolls”. I wanted the dolls to come to life, wearing Michael Costello Couture. As soon as we debut the Michael Costello pieces on the Popovy Dolls, I know many fashion fans will be asking if we would be reproducing the dresses human size. I’m open to doing some. Others, of course, are made exclusively for the dolls.”
ABOUT POPOVY SISTERS:

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Internationally recognized photographer, Giuliano Bekor, holds a portfolio that includes work from the realms of fashion, beauty, celebrity, advertising, and fine art.
Giuliano’s photography has been featured in top publications around the globe, and his client list includes an endless file of beauty industry leaders, advertising agencies, celebrities, producers, and artists.
With 30 years in the industry, Giuliano has perfected his craft to an exceptional level of expertise. Composed of light, color, space and form, Giuliano brings ideas conceptualized in his own imagination into reality throughout his work.
Currently living between New York and Los Angeles, Giuliano is often on the move traveling for work and inspiration. Always the restless visionary, he ceases to continually express his fresh and nuanced style.
For Giuliano Bekor, a photograph is an image that comes into being consciously, composed of light, color, space and form. Like a painter, he sketches, refining ideas through pen and pencil well before the shutter clicks. A camera is strictly a means to an end, a way of making a palpable visual record of an idea that gestates in his mind, gains shape by his hand, and resolves through his eye as it peers through the lens.
His subject is the human body, almost always nude. These images delve into the splendor of the body - how it can express the inner meaning of who we are. Limbs, torsos, muscles and bones are exposed as though carved out of a supple, glowing stone that flexes and twists. Many of these photographs feature subjects posed with the eyes obscured, the face covered.
If we look closely, Bekor says, we can see that the body is as much a window into the soul as the eyes. This is a gallery of the soul etched into the forms we assume in the physical world. Through exaggerated contrast between light and dark, smooth and textured, vaporous and tactile, Giuliano deliberately filters the extraneous.
The camera captures the image, but for Bekor each exposure is a transformation - of himself, his subjects, and us. He is digging into uneasy turf, fraught with tension: masculine/feminine, heroic/cowardly, shameless/shameful, eternal/fleeting. The intensity of detail, the fiercely exquisite perfection of the bodies themselves, the unflinching, scrupulous engagement of the lens, negates all pretense of politeness. Confronted, we are summoned to look. So we must. And we do. And we experience the beautiful human forms we inhabit and the silent, eloquent language they speak.
