The Meteor club has a Roaring 20s remix moment

Last week w club members received an email about the unveiling of new dolls - and this past weekend we indeed had it - albeit without a live presentation. A new Meteor collection was revealed, with three dolls, two of them sold by dealers and one that will be available through lottery for the right to buy. This time the inspiration is the “decadent” 20s, with the clothes and styling inspired by that glamorous decade. Having already had a previous Meteor collection done with a retro inspiration again (the 70s, which I must remind you, were very much influenced by the 20s in fashion, at least in the first half of the decade), it is a bit jarring to still cling to the past for inspiration, especially when the first Meteor collection proved that contemporary fashion is its strong point (and Vaughn’s best). With the fashion buzz around emerging black designers stronger than ever, and their fashions making waves across the media, social or not, it is a pity that we do not get current trends but instead rehashes of past decades, no matter if they’re beautiful or not. Please give us some inspirations from Peter Do, Christopher John Rogers and Pyer Moss, with some Zerina Akers styling next time.

I still don’t like Navia’s sculpt. Her face has a weird shape with a very large and angular bottom part that does not click with me. She does fit the era with this hairstyle and make up pretty well and is definitely an improvement on herfirst appearance, but I still can’t bring myself to buy her. Her dress is gorgeous though. If I can find it separately, I might get it. The veil over the hat looks weird in the photo worn by the doll, but the rest of the accessories are awesome. Should have come with a small jewelled bag though.

Easily the best doll of the collection, Zuri once again steals the spot. She reminds me so much of the Dior Haute Couture 1997 collection, both dress and doll styling, that I could not resist in the end and pre-ordered her. I love Zuri anyway and especially when she’s painted with her tooth gap, so she’s a winner overall. Her hair colour with the afro that is styled at the front like 20s “vagues” (french for waves) is really impressive.

Amirah looks better than ever here but the hair colour is a major deal breaker for me. It gives her a cartoon-y vibe, but it is not a Cruella one, unfortunately. She would have looked so much better in the dark colour alone. The dress gives me a cheap vibe, despite the embroidered look - it is probably the chains at the front. If she had a huge chain necklace instead, it might have looked better. Or if the dress used the fabric that Montaigne Market Elyse did. And what’s with the crowns? This one looks more fit for a Russian royal from the pre-revolution era than a 20s flapper. Gorgeous bag, shoes and jewellery though.
