Synopsis
Specification
As one of the world’s largest Barbie collectors, Jian Yang
always brings a doll with him on his travels. But something happened in
Sri Lanka in May 2017 – he made his first doll dress out of toilet
paper. He has not stopped since, and every night at every hotel he
stayed in, a paper couture creation would be made.
“Each
dress was carefully photographed, and immortalised on Instagram via the
hashtag #havetissuewilltravel. And because there was usually only one
doll with me on an average four-day trip, the couture confection would
literally get flushed down the toilet to make way for the next.”
Since
then, Jian, as well as #havetissuewilltravel, has been to over 20
cities in 11 countries. In two short years, his stunning handiworks have
been discovered, and extensively featured in publications from Vogue to
Buzzfeed, and in blogs, broadsheets and tabloids. They’ve been
discussed in countries around the world and images of them continue to
circulate the Internet appealing to parents, children, collectors and
fashionistas alike.
Jian Yang is a multi-award-winning business lead in an international advertising agency, and is also a keen Instagrammer. Since being named in 2013 as the “largest male collector of Barbie dolls in the world”, his face and collection have flooded the internet, as well as international magazines, newspapers, blogs and television in a variety of languages that range from Italian to Russian to Vietnamese and Chinese.
He was named one of Singapore’s Most Eligible Bachelors by CLEO, and has become an internet sensation with a substantial social media following and fans from across the globe.
