The Prize

This is your chance to give an UglyDoll a home!

UglyDolls – stars of the Fashion Comics project – are coming to Pitti Bimbo, June 2018.

Goganga dresses Charlie the UglyDoll.

Massimiliano and his wife Valentina had a passion for fashion, 3 wonderful children and a clear goal: the desire to change their life through a common project. Goganga is the story of talent, love and friendship where souls unite and varying experiences come together to form an ambitious and creative project. Goganga does its own kind of research, to make sure kids can feel just as comfortable as they should.

The UglyDoll, a celebration of individuality and creativity, has romantic origins: the first sketch was sent between David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim, two young lovebirds, in 2001.

A symbol of imperfection, the UglyDoll has rewritten the rules of tolerance, declaring, “We all have a little bit of ugly”. Even the stitching is imperfect, giving each UglyDoll its own unique character because looks don’t count - it’s what’s inside.

This initiative sees the involvement of brands such as Mimisol, Simonetta, Gallucci, Pero, I'm Isola Marrras, 10X10 An Italian Theory, Bad Deal, Fun & Fun, Mimidà, I Love My Dog, Leontine Vintage and Goganga, all of which have dressed their own plush UglyDoll. Their creations will be on display at the Pitti Bimbo fair.

This initiative was conceived by designer Alessandro Enriquez and developed in collaboration with CPLG Italy, licensing agent that manages the UglyDoll brand in Europe.

Average Dimensions: 35 cm (high) x 20 cm (large).

The Cause

Oxfam is a global movement of people who won’t live with the injustice of poverty. Together, we save and rebuild lives in disasters. We speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality, discrimination against women, and climate change.

The injustice of poverty demands a powerful and practical response to address both its causes and its impact on people's lives.

Around the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them.

In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can live without poverty. Join us!
