Gallery label
Fashion and action People wear different clothes for different occasions, and so do our dolls. These two sailors have lots of different outfits to choose from. One of them was originally designed for a boy and the other for a girl, but if you think about it, they aren’t that different. [Young V&A, Imagine Gallery group object label](2023)
