Grace in Undercover

I recently came across this stuffed animal-looking ET creature called "Grace" that desinger Jun Takahashi created. He has first shown it in his Paris fashion show in 2008 where instead of doing a runway, he put his clothings on white mannequins and added these little creatures around them.

The creature, sometimes tiny and sometimes human size, has flashlight looking eyes that beam on you from where its face should be. While a little territorial, Grace can co-exist with humans and is supposedly a good neighbor.

Takahashi, with Katsuhide Morimoto also takes photos of Grace to show his new clothings. I like how he does not focus on the clothing in each picture, but instead focuses on showing his world of Grace... as if to create an utlimate fantasy world for those who wear those clothes featured.

Here is a clip of him actually making one of these dolls (you can skip to the last part). I like how the hands look completely human but only slightly out of proportion, thus very freaky.
