This is my insight to the world of Male Fashion Dolls. I am biased though. In my opinion the Kinsman dolls are the best you will find. I will try not to concentrate on them too much though as I am aware that there are others out there - somewhere lol...

The ultimate one and only Male Fashion Doll

This is it! Stop looking, you found him! This is the absolute top of the game male fashion doll. Nothing and I do mean nothing even comes close to the Kinsman Dolls. They are the best. I will live and die on this hill so dont argue!

Other Male Fashion Dolls....

OK, Ok, So there are other dolls besides the Kinsman dolls. They dont come anywhere near close but here is a list to prove my point. These dolls are the best of the rest.

I have had quite a few of the Fashion Royalty male dolls over the years. They are smaller being around 12 inches tall but they are excellent quality, very well articulated and their clothing is absolutely elite. Details are superb.

Robert Tonner dolls although not manufactured any longer can still be found on Ebay occasionally. The Matt O'Neill dolls are of the larger scale, similar to the Kingdom Dolls

Finally the BJD dolls are starting to mature, for many years they have looked like little elven boys.

These dolls are incredible, they are very tall and (in my opinion) a lot easier to make the clothes for!

Books Relating to Male Fashion Dolls

I find the world of Male fashion dolls so fascinating, yes of course the girls steal the limelight - but the boy's are still there with their sharp edgier fashions and always worth learning more about!

I love this book, it is never too far away from my side either. Beautifully illustrated and full to the brim of inspiration.

Always a good idea to just check out the accessories especially when doing vintage outfits. Also look closely at the fit and the way clothing fastens.

Sometimes I need to see what goes and what doesnt. It is always a good idea to really examine pictures and get those details that you just hadnt thought of, they make all the difference.

The whole Punk movement and it's effect on Fashion. The fact that British youth were not lead by the nose by the establishment and broke out into one of the best fashion movements ever!

And if you really want to be inspired try looking at the world through the eyes of a fashion photographer! Duplicating some of the photo's with your dolls or just simply copying the poses will add so much more to your photography.

There is so much we can learn from the actual tailors who make real clothes. The techniques are often the same even though on a much smaller scale. Sharpen up your skills by following their advice.

Where do I get my inspiration from for Male Fashion Dolls?

Inspiration comes from some very random places. It could be just a piece of music, it could be a selection of colours or it could be just the way two fabrics work together. Wherever it comes from, I am glad it comes!

I do find it hard to look at these without wanting to run to my workshop and create them, the fire runs deep with inspiration for these dolls.

John Galliano was/is a massive inspiration, his fashion designs were superb, he is one of the best (he was robbed) He provides a lot of inspiration for me.

Just the MOST divine source of inspiration. Looking at pictures of historical fashions is one thing, but here, oh my word, you can see how everything should go together. How it all works and how it all should be worn. A true gentleman and a legend!

I love the fact that the men came out of the shadows, they didnt have to provide a colourless backdrop for a woman or a prop for her to lean on. They are out there and worthy of a whole shelf to display those 16 (or 18) inch fashion dolls on!
