"Mdvanii was originally conceived as a conceptual art and fashion doll for adults (and particularly art, fashion and doll collectors) by artist BillyBoy*. Since 1990 it has known to have been a collaboration with his life partner, artist Jean Pierre Lestrade (a.k.a Lala). The doll was originally made in a matte Caron make-up toned hard resin and 25 cm (9.8 in) tall. Mdvanii debuted on February 14, 1989 in London, England." - wikipedia"BillyBoy* (born 10 March 1960) is an artist, socialite and fashion designer who was a muse of Andy Warhol. Born in Vienna, he was adopted by a Russian couple and moved to New York City when he was four.In 1979 BillyBoy* began to design and manufacture costume jewellery under the label Surreal Bijoux in Paris. A bracelet made by BillyBoy* and owned by Elizabeth Taylor was sold at auction in 2011 for $6,875. BillyBoy* had a collection of over 11,000 Barbie dolls and 3,000 Ken dolls, and in 1987 authored the book Barbie: Her Life and Times. During 1984–1990 Mattel sponsored two tours called Le nouveau théâtre de la mode (New Theatre of Fashion) curated by BillyBoy*. Like the original 1945-Théâtre de la Mode the exhibitions consisted of hundreds of dolls—in this case Barbie dolls—wearing miniature outfits made by Yves Saint Laurent and other prominent fashion designers. The exhibition toured France on board a TGV-train entitled Le Train magique des jouets Mattel..BillyBoy* designed two Barbie dolls for Mattel working as a designer and consultant, "Le Nouveau Théâtre de la mode" in 1984 and "Feelin' Groovy" in 1986. After finishing working with Mattel, BillyBoy* formed the "BillyBoy* Toys" Company, and in 1989 BillyBoy* and his partner released the Mdvanii fashion doll." - wikipedia
