The 2nd doll in the Coven Couture Collection is Divining Beauty Adèle Makéda

As promised in the first NU. Fantasy W Club presentation, we were presented the second doll from the Coven Couture collection, designed by Mark Tinkey this past Friday. This time it is Adèle Makéda version 3.0 that casts her spells and she will be a club lottery doll, for the right to buy. And no, it is not Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome!

Pair of hands;

Extra pair of "hand on hip" hands (also perfect for spell-casting!);

Certificate of authenticity.

What a gorgeous doll and a great follow up to Smoke And Shadows Vanessa! She gives off strong Storm (from X-Men) vibes with her colouring and hairstyle. Her make up is awesome and very versatile. Mark said on the presentation that the hair might be ok taken down but does not recommend it of course. Even though I love her hairstyle, I still would have preferred to see her in a very cropped platinum hairstyle, something closer to what Tati Gabrielle was sporting in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

The purple cape is inspired by the famous yellow one by Guo Pei that Rihanna wore at the Met Gala in 2015. It is big, as we saw in the video presentation, very impressive and not a direct copy. Mark designed the embroidery on the cape as well. The dress underneath is draped, again in purple and looks gorgeous, even though the draping on the hips does not look perfect. Hopefully it will look as it should on the production doll. She has an amazing set of jewellery, with huge quartz stones and a green bag with a snake decoration on it - perfection. The golden boots are made for stomping her enemies I guess - love them!

Dolly Days 3: A night at the opera!

The third day of Integrity Toys’ "Dolly-Days" brings us two more dolls in the series created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Integrity Toys and former doll designer prodigy, now well known fashion designer, Jason Wu. He is paying homage to the two characters that started it all for him, "The Originals" Véronique Perrin® and Adèle Makéda®*. Based on an original concept Jason imagined just for these two iconic characters, they are going to a La Traviata opera performance at the famous La Fenice theatre in Venice. the two dolls are sold separately and are a W Club members only lottery opportunity. Avanti maestro!

Item #12313

The Originals

Véronique Perrin® Dressed Doll

The Jason Wu 20th Anniversary Collection

Edition Size: 450

Expected Ship Date: Spring 2021

Price: $175.00 + Shipping/Handling.

*W Club Right-to-buy Lottery Offer*

Head Sculpts: Véronique 1.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-Heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Colors: Light Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Velvet Touch: No

Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

Delicate trumpet shape, Jason Wu original sleeveless lace gown;

Glamorous, sheer cape with oversized bow detail at the neckline;

Dramatic custom embroidered lace mask;

Faux "patent-leather" slingback high-heeled shoes with glitter strap detail;

"Diamond" stud earrings;

Two pairs of hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Deceprrivly simple at first sight, the dolls reveal their bias cut spiral lace dresses upon closer inspection, not an easy feat, unless the lace is sold like this and the dress is cut in the usual way. I love the embroidered masks, that look so very much like those from Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009 collection. The lovely cape is a very classic choice for a big opera gala, especially in places like the mythical La Fenice in Venice, where a very young and almost unrecognisable Maria Callas performed for the first time La Traviata. Even the hairstyle is a classic one for Callas. As is the tradition for Jason Wu dolls lately, the accessories are more than minimal - two stud earrings and the shoes, plus the aforementioned mask. A clutch (better yet, a minaudière) should have been included. The $175 price is less than the $200 Wu dolls command at retail. In fact it is the same price asked for Korinne in the Maison Collection (Vero was $160 then). not cheap, but not that expensive either. The two payment instalments for the lottery winners surely help. I’m not entering the lottery for her because I really do not like the way her lips are painted outside their natural lip line. They look filled to the brim and that is no look for Veronique in my books.

Adele looks so much better than Veronique with this look - I love her face and the austere hairstyle, combined with the cape, brings to mind Naomi Campbell in Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2019 - although the outfit is quite different, the silhouette, fabric and styling are similar. The same comments about accessories and price can be said here as for Veronique. But she is definitely the best of them and I entered for her. Wish me luck.

Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 2: The Style Lab Collection

The second day begun with the presentation of the Style Lab collection around lunch time. The virtual convention site is accessible 24h and there are various chat rooms where attendees can talk to each other and also exchange private messages. Also, in the exhibition hall, there are virtual stands for each brand, where one can see videos of the dolls and chat with the respective designers at designated times. Style Lab this year was dedicated to Fashion Royalty, even though IT had said they’d never do that. Never say never! Vaughn Sawyers designed the collection, which had eight dolls sold nude, and eight outfits sold separately, plus two accessory packs. Also, each doll and outfit included a “build-the-doll” component (much like the 2018 Convention Style Lab Poppy. If one bought the entire collection, they could build a Vanessa Perrin doll with outfit! The dolls and outfits were again inspired by older legendary dolls of the company. I decided to present each doll with the outfit she is photographed in, even though they are sold separately. Each had an edition of 400. Dolls cost $60.00, outfits $75.00 and everything was sold out by the afternoon.

Veronique is in the original sculpt and she is based, along with the outfit she is photographed in, on a Vero created just for the cover of the premiere FDQ magazine issue. People often asked if that doll would ever go into production - better late than never. I’’m not feeling anything for the doll, but the outfit is gorgeous.

Perfect Skin Adele is the inspiration behind this fashion. The logo print is remade with leopard print. The doll has the original 1.0 sculpt which is the one that started it all for FR along with Veronique. I love the fashion as it has something of the deconstructed feel of Comme Des Garcons but more refined.

She is inspired by the Obsidian Society Vanessa Perrin doll from the 2006 Pompadour collection. I have that doll (a redhead) and she is still one of the best dolls to come out of Integrity. This rehashed version is nice but just that. Nice.

Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 1: Welcome doll and W Club Upgrade dolls

It’s that time of the year again - Integrity Toys convention has begun! And this year it is the 25th anniversary of the company, so the convention is special. Also it is the first ever virtual one because of the pandemic. This of course has given the chance to more people to participate in it, even if they do not have the actual main convention ticket. Anyone who has the W Club event or the Upgrade package can attend all events (save the afterparty on the last day) . I’m happy to say that I am one of the people attending, even though I do not have the main convention ticket, so this year I have an inside view of everything unfolding, to the extend that time difference allows.

The platform of the online event opened for everyone at 10.00 EST - which was 17.00 for me, so quite convenient. The interface was similar to most platforms for online exhibitions and events currently available on the market (I know because it’s the sector I work in) so it felt familiar and easy to navigate right off the bat. I hope it is like this for everyone! The first event we could all attend was a welcome chat with the Percy family, which was an easy way of saying hello to everyone and ask lots of questions about everything convention related. After about an hour (and overcoming some technical glitches that caused a small delay), we were able to watch the first presentation in the convention auditorium: Alain and Carol welcomed us via video (pre-filmed): they talked about the event and the various technical stuff and how people could make their shopping afterwards. Then we were able to see the upgrade dolls unveiled, so let’s start with the amazing duo of Veronique Perrin and Adele Makeda, who were the original Fashion Royalty debut dolls back in the day,

I’m so happy I preordered the upgrade dolls as they are AMAZING! Look at her face! Her hairstyle! Her dress! The face reminds me a lot of Glamazon. Love her. Love the polka dot detail.

Veronique is gorgeous as well - her platinum hair, blue eyes and perfect make up match her black outfit to a T. She’s the ideal counterpart to Adele, yin and yang. They make an awesome set of dolls. Alain said they have quite a long waiting list for them and that was just from the sketches.

After the presentation of the two upgrade dolls, we saw another pre-recorded segment of Alain interviewing Percy Newsome, the Integrity Toys founder and CEO. He talked about the creation of the company and how it operates, while sharing funny memories with Alain. Then it was time to present,,, a gift, so they showed us a doll-sized IT T-shirt, like the ones you could buy for yourself from their shop. But then, they said that we need a doll to wear it and out came the welcome doll, which is Janay!

David Buttry was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw for the outfit (Carry On, right?) and of course Janay is the doll that started it all for Integrity Toys. It is fitting that she gets to be the welcome doll on the 25th anniversary of the company. She was not in any of the emails sent so far by the company, so here are more photos from their Instagram account.

Integrity Toys Dolly Days finale pt.2: Fashion Royalty Retrofuture 2019 Collection reveal

The second collection unveiled on Saturday was a three doll Fashion Royalty Collection designed again by Jessy Ayala. The collection is inspired by various things: Thierry Mugler’s robotic body armour outfits, Daphne Guinness, Dior, the artist Fecal Matter, Balenciaga, Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen. Lots of influences, combined in various ways, with an almost impeccable result. They fit great with the Anika Luxottica Dasha from the IFDC 2016 convention. If the dolls were more, I’d have a serious budget problem. And contrary to the NuFace collection before it, this one is justifying the prices attached to the dolls. Two of them are available through IT dealers (Vanessa and Adéle), one is the event doll, available only to W Club members for preorder (Dania). I love this collection so much, I got them all!

Item # 91464

Vanessa Perrin® Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection: RETROFUTURE

Expected Ship Date: Late-Spring/Early Summer 2020

Suggested Retail Pricing: $160.00

*ONLY AVAILABLE VIA IT DEALERS*

Edition Size: 1000

Head Sculpt: Vanessa 1.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Foot

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Chocolate Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5" fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Intricately engineered, high-gloss red patent "leather" cocktail dress with decorative grommet detailing at the hem and dramatic, oversized, detachable bow at the back, cinched at the waist by a perfectly matched belt;

• Chrome plated, full-metal, die-cast robotized armor coverings;

• Pair of robotized gloved hands;

• Pair of regular flesh toned hands;

• Fiber optics inspired chrome metal magnetized choker necklace;

• Chrome finish earrings with cloisonné highlights;

• Oversized, chrome finish duo-toned sunglasses;

• Flamboyant red patent "leather" shoes with chrome spiked heels;

• Metallic red, embossed clutch purse;

• Stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What an amazing Vanessa is this? The doll, using the 1.0 sculpt, immediately reminded me of AFL Vanessa. The Hungarian skintone is a first for this sculpt I think. It goes well with her make up as well as the colour of her outfit. And what an outfit! The dress is the one made and worn by the artist Fecal Matter, who in turn was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friends dress. Only now it is red and has grommets as decoration, which I remember seeing on old and newer Versace outfits. Remember that the bow is detachable. And with Marilyn and retrofuturism combined, you can’t not mention the work of Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, with his sexy robotic pin ups. The thunderbolt pumps are very Thierry Mugler, as are the metallic hands and arm bands. The sunglasses remind me of vintage Alain Mikli styles. Good thing that she has three pairs of hands: regular, holding and robotic. I added a slideshow below, to help you see the various influences.

A gorgeous Adéle is the second doll in this collection and is one of the best Adéle dolls ever released. Nubian skintone? Check. Beautiful make up? Check. Great hairstyle? Check. Amazing outfit? Check. Brilliant accessories? Check. She could be a Christian Dior modelfrom the John Galliano era, with that modernised Bar Suit silhouette. And, not that Jessy could have had an advanced look at the new Ivy Park collection that Beyoncé is dropping next January, but the jacket could easily have been part of it, from what I have seen in the photos of her in the January 2020 Elle magazine. The bag is the metallic version of the Dior Saddle bag that designer Kim Jones debuted on the Pre-Fall 2019 Men collection, in collaboration with - guess who? - Hajime Sorayama! Pity this bag is not metallic; its real life counterpart was and cost a breathtaking $35,000! There are only ten of them in the world, one being owned by KKW. Jones has been obsessed with Sorayama’s work for years and he had him do a special installation of his robotic woman statue for the show. The metallic hands are again Mugler. I made a slideshow with all the references, check it out below.

The pièce de résistance of this collection (and the whole week in general) is Mothership Dania Zarr. She is incredible. Inspired by the Alexander McQueen friend and muse, Daphne Guinness, the Mugler robotic bodysuits and a Balenciaga coat, the doll stands out from the rest. I love the Daphne Guiness inspiration, she is one of my favourite fashion people and I love the idea of having a doll inspired by her. She has been photographed wearing lots of incredible McQueen originals by the greatest photographers. Her trademark streaked hair are like the ones Dania is sporting. The outfit is based on the Mugler robotic outfits, taking elements from all of them - he has done quite a few, with the most famous being the one worn by model Emma Sjöberg both on Mugler’s catwalk and in the George Michael videoclip Too Funky (watch it below). And the bodice and arm covers are made of metal. The coat is inspired by Balenciaga (Jessy mentioned it in a video accompanying the email presentation). Cristobal Balenciaga had designed a short coat in this style, which Nicholas Ghesquière redid for the storied house into a dress, many years later. The belt is from the Christian Dior Resort 2019 Collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri. The boots are surprisingly not Mugler but Tom Ford Spring 2013. And the sunglasses are from Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton Fall 2012 RTW collection, bringing it full circle back to Daphne Guinness. A tour de force. If you’re not a W Club member, you will have to wait till next year to get it on the secondary market. The price is higher than the other two dolls but she fully justifies it. There’s the slideshow with the references below.
