In the beginning, we were making static dolls, but with time, their bodies started to look more and more like BJD (Ball Jointed Dolls). MOD, the last static collection we did, had fake ball joints. We loved the way it looked, so after that, we made a decision to make real BJD dolls.

Our protagonist is a child-like woman. She is perfectly imperfect (with a tooth gap and many other small details) and has a childish character. She does not try to hide or fake her emotions. She is absolutely real and confident. Some people ask why our dolls look so sad. Well, they’re not sad. If you take a look at children's photos, you may notice that many of them look serious and sort of sulky. They’re not hiding their emotions. It’s not like those pretty family portraits that you may see on toothpaste or milk commercials. It is how our dolls look like, they’re real.
We are trying to convey thoughts and ideas to our audience through our dolls. For us, the doll and the costume (or the outfit, or however you prefer to call it) are something holistic. We don’t think of the costumes as something different from the doll, like a separate part; for us, it’s like the doll’s second skin. They’re inextricably linked together. We are looking for a sophisticated means of expression. Often, we bring a wild animal beauty or some surrounding objects onto a female image.
We always ask ourselves, ‘does this idea impress us?’ If not, then we throw this idea away. Our main criterion in image creation is: it has to be unreal, even have some weirdness, at first sight. We create something that can make one stop and think, to question and examine in order to understand the idea behind each work. The doll has to be unusual and make people wonder.

Nature is the main source of our inspiration. Nature is the world's most creative and inspiring designer, so we learn from it. But also, we are inspired by music, movies, and history.

While growing up, we used to make our own dolls. We used to draw them, created different outfits to dress them up. We never had a real Barbie doll, but once we won one in a competition. We were so impressed by her face but we didn’t like the body, so we customized it by putting extra plastic to make her look more real and human-like.

Since childhood, we learned how to sew outfits for our dolls, so we are used to small scale. In fact, it’s even better because, on a small scale, we can implement all our fantasies much faster than if we were making them in real size – but this doesn’t mean that we’ll never make a human size outfit.

We never follow trends. We just do what we like and what we feel is right for us, and by some magical force, it is always a trend. Quite often, when we emphasize one specific colour, hair or outfit style, we start seeing it on fashion shows.

In order to start a new collection, we spend a lot of time on preparation and research. First, we need to choose the theme, find materials, read historical literature, and learn as much as we can about this specific theme. Then we start sketching. We sketch a lot, so we have a wide selection of materials to choose from. For each collection, we have an enormous number of sketches and ideas on paper – each collection we’ve made could have easily been a lot bigger if we had had the time to make everything that’s on our minds.
After the sketching stage, we start looking for the proper materials, fabrics and so on. All the materials we use are absolutely unique. The limited-edition fabrics, antique silk, laces… everything must be the best quality possible.

We work as a team, fulfilling each other when we develop a collection. We always sketch together but sometimes can get in a fight because of a pencil. Working together is a lot of fun. When we work, usually we have no roles. Sometimes we split tasks but it is not planned, it just happens organically.

Indeed, our wigs have been recreated by so many from all over the world. Some designers even receive prizes and awards for it. We wish they credited us. It does take a humongous amount of time to create each wig. We use some special techniques, and it is one of our top secrets. Through hairstyles, we have the ability to portray emotions, and it fulfils the whole image, it can speak. Our wigs are totally connected to the theme and the concept of each collection we make. For materials, we only use the finest Japanese silk and lama wool as the main materials.

Difference and confidence. Being comfortable in your own skin, to stand out and be who you want to be no matter what.

Hopefully, one day, we will be able to start our own fashion brand. And also, we would love to collaborate with the fashion house of Alexander McQueen.
