Your favourite Sylvanian Families characters will be taking to the tini catwalk to model the latest collection of haute couture miniature dresses and bespoke fashions - designed by new character Stella Chocolate, and handmade exclusively in Japan.

Standing at just 9.5cm in height, the little Sylvanians are 19 times smaller than the average life-sized model (at 5ft 11ins).
