The Museum at FIT in New York has opened an exhibition built around an unlikely muse: the doll, and the clothes designed to dress it. The show treats doll dressing not as a nursery pastime but as its own quiet strand of fashion history, worthy of a proper museum wall. It is a small subject given serious space, in a city that rarely lets a fashion story go untold, however tiny the model.

With reporting from Fashionista.
