Jessica Harrison, a sculptor out of Scotland, has done another series involving the re-invention of the classic porcelain doll. But rather than blood and guts, this time it’s exquisitely rendered tattoos. Yes, perhaps tattoos have become so commonplace that they’re even coating Victorian Disney princesses now, too.

The oxford is crafted from premium Italian leather and is part of Maison Martin Margiela’s 2012 Spring/Summer pre-collection. You can buy the shoes at […]
