Over 50 plush dolls, originally designed by Arwa Fuad Bukhash, had been made into a wave of interesting art objects. These plush figures, cut and hand stuffed, were soon altered by local professional and emerging artists.
The fundraiser that was organized by Zayed University Art students was put into action for two reasons:
1. to help realize a gallery for students
2. to support student exhibitions at Zayed Unviersity.
The event took place at the Bastakiya Art Fair, house 34, from 6pm.
Guests could take home their very own, unique, artists designed plush doll who's named would be revealed after the purchase.
The story behind our plush is quite simple.
We saw the plush and asked ourselves how can we make it look prettier and link it to who we are as designers. As soon as we decided to work on it, we saw a kimono girl with funky eyes, nose and lips wearing a dress made to reflect our brand which is colorful, fun, and girly always in details. We created the exact same dresses for the plush that we created for our brand and now, we see the things we would want to wear now put on a doll with crazy hair of course and sparkling eyes.
For us as fashionista's as well as designers we find it important to play with fashion, have fun, be quirky, take risks and maybe in late in the years laugh at what we created and ask ourselves did we really create that!
Our plush is a model that wear our clothing with full confidence and is not going to be stopped by any fashion police.
