Mario Paglino, 52, and Gianni Grossi, 54, die; designers made Barbies into art
Depending on their interests, fans 'buy Barbies that have been created by Mattel, or they buy limited-edition and one-of-a-kind Barbies that doll artists make,' Kim Culmone, the head of design for dolls at Mattel, said in an interview. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'There are different levels of people who do this sort of work,' she added. 'And Gianni and Mario really were just a cut above.' Advertisement Mr. Paglino, a fashion designer, and Mr. Grossi, a graphic art director, were hailed by collectors for their meticulous handiwork — the ruffles and extravagant bows, the embroidery, appliqué, crystals, rhinestones, paillettes, and beading on silk, satin and tulle — as well as their unswerving attention to detail and their deep knowledge of fashion and art history. Most of the Barbies from their atelier sold for $2,000 to $3,000. One well-cloaked Barbie of their devising looked to be straight out of a Velazquez painting. Mr. Grossi and Mr. Paglino also created a line of Barbies wearing finery inspired by the works of well-known artists, including Vincent van Gogh ('Sunflowers' and 'Irises'), Piet Mondrian ('Composition With Red, Blue and Yellow'), Gustav Klimt ('Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I'), Andy Warhol ('Marilyn Diptych'), and Frida Kahlo ('The Two Fridas'). In a tribute to Jackson Pollock's 'Convergence,' they created a Barbie gown that echoed the artist's drip-painting technique. Advertisement Here and there, dresses also made subtle references to Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli. Some of Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi's creations were inspired as much by pop culture as by art. The men designed look-alike Barbies to pay tribute to show-business personalities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga and Sophia Loren. They conjured several different Barbies for their favorite star, Madonna, and proudly watched from the audience of 'The Graham Norton Show' in Britain as one of the dolls was presented to her in 2012. After they died, Madonna dedicated the 40th anniversary reissue of her hit 'Dress You Up' to the designers' memory, thanking them 'for dressing up so many of your creations in Madonna iconic looks over the years,' Rolling Stone magazine reported. Gianni Grossi was born Nov. 27, 1970, and grew up in Biella, Italy, a city northeast of Turin, where his mother, Marissa Grossi, worked in the textiles industry. She survives him, as does a half sister, Luisa. Mario Paglino was born June 30, 1973, in Turin, the oldest of three sons of Maria Concetta (Albano) Paglino and Guiseppe Paglino, who ran a laundry service. They survive him, along with his brothers, Max and Matteo Paglino. For Mr. Grossi, the fascination with Barbie began early; as a child, he often played with a little girl who had several Barbie dolls, according to his family. Advertisement Matteo Paglino recalled in an email that his brother Mario's interest in Barbie dolls began as a 9-year-old. After helping with household chores and much pleading, Mario was given the coveted Barbie Dream Date doll. But when children at school taunted him, his father took the doll away. Years later, Mr. Grossi presented Mr. Paglino with the same doll, reviving his enthusiasm for Barbies. The two men met in 1997 and soon became a couple. They established their company, Magia2000, in 1999. Magia means magic in Italian; it also contains the first few letters of each founder's first name. Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi generally worked with Barbies that were made from silkstone, a composite material with a smooth, porcelainlike appearance. A blend of resin, quartz, and sand, it produces a heavier, more substantial doll than those typically found in the aisles of chain stores. (Mattel generally uses silkstone for its Barbie Fashion Model Collection, a higher-priced line aimed at adult doll collectors.) Magia2000's Barbies got a full makeover. Their factory face paint was removed, and they were given a whole new look with the aid of acrylic paint and watercolor pencils. Their hair was restyled or removed entirely and replaced with a different shade of nylon tendrils, a process called rerooting. Mr. Paglino designed and made the clothing; he also did the hairstyling. Mr. Grossi sewed the beading, embroidery, and appliqués by hand. (Swarovski crystals figured prominently.) He also handled the dolls' accessories and worked on photography and marketing for the company. The men typically produced four collections a year, each with close to 60 dolls. Among them: the Pink Collection (the name says it all); Bye, Bye, Summer 2018, an assemblage of dolls dressed in outfits from places that Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi had visited on vacation; and the Fairy Tale Collection, replete with heroines and villainesses. Advertisement 'Mario and Gianni had a very couture approach — very detailed — with impeccable gown construction, an eye for color and print and pattern, and a sense of the dramatic and theatrical,' Culmone, of Mattel, said. 'But they were also able to do very realistic interpretations of an existing person with a modern, everyday look.' The men partnered with Mattel on a handful of projects. For the toymaker's Inspiring Women project, honoring historical role models, they designed one-of-a-kind dolls to celebrate the achievements of more than a dozen American, European, South American, and Asian athletes, educators, entrepreneurs, and artists. They also made dolls for special events and exhibits, and accepted commissions. When Cheryl Burnett, a retired bank employee in suburban Houston, was celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary, she asked the couple to replicate her wedding dress and hairdo on a Barbie doll, and the tuxedo worn by her husband, Charlie, on a Ken doll. 'I'm a superfan,' Burnett said. She acquired her first Magia2000 Barbie in 2012, when she made the winning bid of $4,000 at a charity auction during the annual National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention, which took place that year in Garden Grove, Calif. The next year, when the convention was held in New Orleans, she prevailed again at the auction, paying $10,000 for Magic Carnival of Venice, a Barbie that 'looked like a Marie Antoinette type of doll,' Burnett said. Advertisement By her count, she now owns 244 Barbies made by Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi. At the convention's charity auction in 2015, in Arlington, Va., Burnett bid $15,000 for Magic Wanda, a Barbie cloaked in a blue gown with gold sequins, only to have a rival from Australia outbid her, for $15,250. 'At that point, my husband looked at me and said, 'Really?' And I said, 'OK, we'll let her have it,'' Burnett recalled. 'It's hard to describe the detail and beauty that went into those dolls,' she added. 'You know how some people collect paintings or sculpture? These Barbies are works of art.' Barbie may have been their 11½-inch-tall muse, but Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi also designed clothing and accessories and did the hair and makeup for other fashion dolls. In 2023, for example, they dressed 12-inch-tall figures in high-fashion outfits inspired by their home countries in collaboration with Integrity Toys, a company that specializes in collectible dolls. 'When I make dolls for Barbie,' Culmone said, 'I have a group of artists who specialize in pattern-making, embroidery, and beading. Someone else specializes in face painting. Someone else specializes in hair design. Think about the rarity of finding a pair of individuals who could take all those parts of doll — coming up with the vision, the fashion design, the pattern-making, the sample-making, the embroidery, the hair design, the hair embellishments, the shoe creation.' 'These are two people who played a big role in our community,' she added. 'Because of them, our community is better. My design team is better. Barbie is better.'

10 Instagram Strategies to Build Buzz Around Your Event
With some planning and creativity, planners can turn Instagram into a powerful marketing tool for events of all kinds. With some planning and creativity, planners can turn Instagram into a powerful marketing tool for events of all kinds. Whether you're organizing a 250-person incentive trip or a 10,000-person convention, you can use Instagram to amplify the event highlights before, during, and after. These 10 strategies will help you make the most of Instagram at every stage of planning. 1. Create a Hashtag The event hashtag needs to be short, clear, obvious, and reinforced often, or people will end up guessing at what it is and there will be three or four different variations. It can be as simple as using your event name and the year. Most important: Whatever you decide on, it should be easy for your attendees to remember. 2. Follow Other Events' Instagrams Do a regular scan of how other companies and events are structuring their Instagrams, and how they use various images, such as behind-the-scenes shots, crowds, signage, entertainers, speakers, decor, close-ups, and attendee shots. A great example is the Burning Man Instagram, which has 1.6 million followers and more than 1,700 posts. 3. Create a Calendar A well-planned content calendar ensures consistent posting and keeps the audience engaged leading up to the event. Vary your use of video, posts, and stories, starting months before the event and building to a crescendo of posts on site. Post-event, carousel posts or a recap video can be used to announce the next year's event. 4. Post Guest Videos The more voices promoting the event, the better. Slot in videos from the rockstars of your event, from the emcee, to the speakers, to your top exec. Have them discuss how they're getting ready for the big day and look forward to seeing everyone there. 5. Add Boosted/Paid Posts Putting a few paid dollars behind an Instagram post turns it into an ad, allowing you to reach a wider audience and achieve specific goals like more profile visits, website clicks, or messages. You can boost posts directly through the Instagram app if you have a business account. 6. Build Excitement Use sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes videos and photos to grow excitement in the days leading up to the event. Subjects could range from travel shots and airport welcome signage on the way to the event, to setup, to celebrity or speaker arrivals. 7. Create Instagram Touchpoints Consider having a social media wall — a display at the entrance to the event. This is where you will reach the maximum number of people and generate the most excitement. Include your event hashtag to get attendees into the mindset of sharing posts throughout the event. Also, take advantage of bare walls and room entrances to display the event hashtag and remind people to post on Instagram and other channels. 8. Pay Attention to the Backchannel Evening parties are where the Instagram vibe is the strongest and attendees shoot the most video. Capture that social media energy by tracking attendee videos and stories, then sharing them. This is also where an easy-to-remember event hashtag is extremely important, since everyone is focused on having fun and can easily get it wrong. 9. Hold a Contest Ask followers to take specific actions, such as liking and sharing posts, following your Instagram account, or tagging your account in a story. Choose a specific number of fun prizes, such as logoed t-shirts or baseball caps, and pick the winners randomly. You can announce the winners on the final day of the meeting, and DM them through Instagram with details about where to pick up their prizes. Post the winners on Instagram and your social media wall. 10. Make Instagram Part of Your Feedback Loop Use Instagram to post your event survey and help reach the largest number of attendees for their feedback. Also review all social media metrics, including Instagram, to see what types of posts created the most engagement during the event, and use that to plan your strategy moving forward.

Andrew Lloyd Webber Is Turning ‘Phantom of the Opera' Into an Anime Epic
First came Masquerade, an immersive production of The Phantom of the Opera. Now Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group has announced a rebrand and a slate of new franchise expansions for the musical maestro's universe of stories. Including… anime? Deadline reports that the company, now known as LW Entertainment, has plans for a Phantom of the Opera anime, an idea so wild it's bound to work. And it's not completely out of left field: Sailor Moon's Tuxedo Mask is already so Phantom-coded. (We hope they get Phantom stage icon Ramin Karimloo to voice the 2D Eric.) Qubic Pictures' Justin Leach (Star Wars: Visions, Leviathan) is overseeing the project. In a statement to Deadline, Leech said, 'I'm incredibly excited to join forces with the talented team at LW Entertainment to bring The Phantom of the Opera to life through anime. This project is a rare opportunity to unite the grandeur of musical theatre with the artistry of Japanese animation—two beloved traditions that have touched audiences around the world. Our goal is to create a timeless and emotionally resonant experience that speaks to a global audience and honors the legacy of this iconic story.' The anime is just one element in, as LW Entertainment told the trade, 'significant, global plans for The Phantom of the Opera over the coming years across live theater, film, publishing, music, and many other areas.' If ever a property was suited for the current YA romantasy trend in publishing, it's this, so look for a first collaboration with Penguin Random House in the form of Our Strange Duet ('a reimagining of the Gothic love story that will bring a new voice to Christine Daaé, a central part of the Phantom canon') next year. What are your thoughts on Phantanime of the Operanime? Let us know in the comments below. Want more io9 news?
