You may have noticed this cast of characters’ striking poses throughout TheFabricofOurLives.com. Actually, they are models with a portfolio and a growing cult-like following in the fashion world. They are regular features in Cotton Incorporated’s print advertising campaign for the fashion textile trade, appearing in publications such as Women’s Wear Daily, also known as WWD, and considered the fashion bible of the industry.

And, this bevy of beauties  (and their male counterparts) gets the attention of industry leaders. Fashion designers, such as Shoshanna, Lilly Pulitzer, Loveletters and Donna Degnan, to name a few, have been happy to recreate signature cotton looks for the14-inch models. (Sometimes the designers ask if the “dolls” are for sale, and we politely tell them that the models have an exclusive contract with us.

Cotton Characters also have an interesting pedigree. They were created by MTV’s animation department, the originators of Celebrity Deathmatch. However, ours are far more detailed. The models’ silicone bodies are molded around articulated steel frames that allow them to pose realistically—and look natural in their designer clothes.

Now, our Characters are ready to cast a much wider net.
