Last week, amidst the hullabaloo of New York Fashion Week, The Block team threw a party to celebrate the Fame Issue, and to show off the runway rag dolls Andrew Yang made for our Spring Fashion Preview story. All nine and a half dolls (one is a conjoined twin) hung like paintings on the white walls of the envoy enterprises’ gallery space in the Lower East Side, while hundreds of adoring fans, editors, and bloggers filed by – absinthe in hand – ogling the miniature Lanvin, Rick Owens, Marc Jacobs, and more. Discussions swirled over which doll was the favourite, but all agreed the party was a smashing success.
The Block’s Editor-in-Chief caught up with the dolls’ creator the day after the party to ask him about the process of making these one-of-a-kind beauties…

Glassy-eyed beauties rolling around in the sheets. Drugs. Money. Religious iconography. No, this isn’t the lost film of Roman Polanski: it’s the amazing little short that artist Ryan F. Kennedy made for The Block’s Issue 20 launch party in New York. The film is called Pethidine, which any of the dolls captured by Kennedy could tell you is the scientific name for Demerol.

Hollywood siren and couture model Rie Rasmussen has spent the last few years more-or-less off the radar, but now she’s back, and once again poised to stun everyone watching.

Issue 20 of The Block features a photo shoot by ioulex of costumes designed by Christian Joy, or CJ (as she’d rather be called). The interview accompanying the shoot covers a lot of ground, from CJ’s past in fashion retail to her ascent to indie fashion It Girl while costuming the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O. We talked so much, in fact, that we couldn’t include everything in the magazine.
