Children's fashion: girls and their dolls

Among girls living in various countries of the world, it has become popular to receive as a gift a doll that looks not like Barbie and other “perfect” characters, but like an ordinary person. Dolls can look like average girls - with different hair, skin color and torso proportions.

Photographer Ilona Szwarc created a series of photographs depicting young American women with their dolls.
