This book is a very old personal project, jealously guarded by that part of the girl I never lost and who still loves dolls. A girl always expressing a desire to endorse, customize and, in some way, give them life.
​
I started to dress up my ladies more than 25 years ago, by which was intended
to be a costume history collection, while going through an advanced study program in Fashion and Design. Finally, many years later, it became the fruit
of my three passions: History, Psychology and Arts.
​
I recovered the project last year, and this time, it was by the need to tell a story which had already been told through time, but this collection unites for the
first time.
​
All of them are women who inspired me for years, with whom I have always
felt that strange connection which sometimes joins you with other human beings without actual contact.
​
They also represented powerful archetypes, many of them in times where
some emotional and behavioral patterns were pursued and punished, directly
in the more distant past and in very subtle ways in recent decades.
​
On the journey through their lives and experiences, feelings, emotions and courage, I recognized all them in my own life in some sense.
​
This work is both a time travel and a journey towards oneself. Through their lives, I could explore mine, put it in order, and give name and shape to some things for the very first time.
​
My ladies are an idealized representation, by me, the way I see and feel them. Their stories are so interesting and, at the same time, so common to many
other women throughout History.
​
I hope they inspire the reader as much as they inspired me.
