The third Club doll for 2019 has been unveiled by Integrity Toys and... there's two of them!

Integrity Toys unveiled the 3rd club exclusive doll for 2019. It is two doll’s instead of one, but it’s is not a giftset. Rather it is two dolls, sold separately, that count as one for the purpose of the five exclusive club dolls. The two ladies are NuFace models "Your Motivation" Erin Salston™ and "Like No Other" Nadja Rhymes™, designed by IT designer Jessy Ayala. I have no idea why they did not bundle the, together as a giftset to make the price more palatable for members. As it is they’re only $5.0 less than retail price of NuFace dolls. As a giftset they’d probably be $200.00 together, which would be cheaper for members but now it makes more money for Integrity.

Erin is my favourite of the two, both as doll and as outfit. She’s in colours I don’t have either in hair or skin, she has beautiful make up and hairstyle. The transparent vinyl trench is simply gorgeous. Her shoes and jewellery are beautiful. I am not crazy about her slip dress, as we just got one with Eugenia, but it’s ok. I’m probably getting her.

Nadia is beautiful- she always is. And I already have her with this hairstyle. And the only thing I really would love to have from her outfit are the shorts, So I’m probably not getting her. And here’s the thing: if they were together as a giftset, I would probably get them both.

Designer Jessy Ayala had a picture of the two dolls wearing each other's clothes to give you an idea of what they would look like if you got both, said Integrity. And I say, you guys should have made them a giftset to make them easier to sell together and not resort to gimmicks like this.

KITH collaborates with Barbie and offers customers a chance to style their official doll!

KITH is a retail store in New York, founded by designer Ronnie Fieg In 2010. They make and sell sportswear, establish sneaker collaborations and also sell a number of renowned street wear brands. They now announce a collaboration with Barbie, working together to create a special experience for their customers: they will have the chance to create the official Kith x Barbie doll!

public.jpeg

Starting this Saturday 9/21 KITH will be hosting styling appointments where customers will get to select one of the four dolls they have created with Mattel designer Carlyle Nuera and then style them in a look from over 100 different Kith Women apparel pieces. One of these submissions will then be selected to be produced as the official Kith x Barbie doll. Accordimg to their Instagram account though, all appointment slots have officially been filled. They do mention that walk-ins are welcome but cannot guarantee access. Follow them for further updates. I love both the doll’s and the outfits, at least what what we can see in the official photos. I envy the people who will get to style a doll and submit it for a chance to win.

So how come they decided to work with Barbie?. “For sixty years, Barbie has been an international pop-culture phenomenon offering girls around the globe a chance to play, tell stories, and, most importantly, to dream. Kith echoes this mindset by presenting an immersive world for its customers by engaging them through a unique retail environment that fosters creativity,” says Kith-founder Ronnie Fieg. This shared philosophy is what started this partnership—and it will remain a key element in the collaboration between Kith and Barbie.

The Kith Women x Barbie collaboration kicks off with a Barbie takeover of Kith’s flagship store in New York.  Several activations are planned including: 

STYLING CONTEST: September 21st - September 29th

Kith will host Barbie styling sessions at its Soho location on the second floor – known as the Arsham/Fieg Gallery. By appointment only, participants can choose from four dolls that represent the diversity and the dynamism of the Kith Woman. Entrants will be able to dress, style and outfit on-site with 100 custom doll-sized apparel and accessories pieces from the Kith Women line. 

Participants will then submit a photo of their uniquely styled Barbie to be evaluated by a cross-section of the fashion industry’s most notable tastemakers. The panel of judges will include Dianne Garcia, Jackie Kim – director of Kith Women, Maeve Reilly, Ade Samuel and Kith founder Ronnie Fieg. Judges will select the top six looks, which will be put to a public vote via @KithWomen social platform. The submission that receives the most public votes will then become the official limited-edition Kith x Barbie doll, to be released in late 2020 and available from Kith stores worldwide.

RETROSPECTIVE: September 21st to October 2nd 

A complementary retrospective exhibition that celebrates Barbie’s 60-year history will be on view at Kith’s Soho store from September 21st to October 2nd. The original Barbie created in 1959, featuring her iconic black and white chevron swimsuit, will be on display, alongside surrounding ephemera and milestone moments. The in-store museum-inspired vignette layout will be a testament to the doll’s empowering legacy and status as a pop-culture icon.

LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATIVE APPAREL

Kith will also be designing and distributing limited edition Kith x Barbie 60th Anniversary t-shirt, available only to the first 200 attendees.
