The last day of the “Stay Tuned” online event had three dolls revealed: Integrity Toys made it look like the gala dinner of a normal convention, so we saw not one but two Jason Wu dolls. And there was also one NU Face doll, but instead of Jessy Ayala (who was noticeably absent throughout the event week), it was designed by David Buttry and Mark Tinkey
Despite the three dolls, we had only one series as inspiration: Sex And The City. The story goes that Lukas produced a new TV series named "Girl In The City", and we were also treated with clips from ITFTV: Integrity Toys Fashion TV, something like EW TV red carpet coverage. Giselle was the star of the new series, channelling Sarah Jessica Parker, while Aymeline, in a double appearance wearing two different Jason Wu looks, was on the premiere red carpet to support her.

The Story:
Watch out fashion lovers, real-life fashion designer Giselle Diefendorf is ready to add "actress" to her resume as she stars in "Girl In The City", a modern re-invention of popular romantic comedies from the early 2000s! It follows her very fashionable adventures in the city that never sleeps, as she tries to juggle her fabulous career as a top fashion critic and her complicated relationship with a fashion designer that she frequently needs to critique, oh and of course, her never-ending love affair with her lover's main fashion brand competitor- Manero! In the pilot episode simply titled "Hello Lover", you will fall in love with Giselle in the main role, just like we did!
Included:
12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied-eyelashes;
Black and white newsprint dress with shirring and rosette detail;
Fascinator with veil and removable brooch;
Black chrome earrings, ring, and bracelet with "stone" detail;
Chrome clutch purse;
Lace-up heels;
Teal blue pumps with rhinestone detail;
Shopping bag and shoe box accessories;
Pair of regular FR hands;
Alternate pair of long-manicured hands;
"Stay Tuned" doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
So if this was a convention, one of the Aymeline ladies would have been the convention doll, the other the centrepiece and Giselle would have been one of the W Club event dolls - probably the souvenir one. She tries to emulate the famous Dior by John Galliano newspaper print dress that Carrie was wearing in Sex And The City but the dress has quite a different structure and the shoes look more like cheap Manolo knockoffs than the real thing (MANERO for Manolo, lol - btw Tony Manero is the name of the character John Travolta plays in Saturday Night Fever and Stayin’ Alive). Since I have seen better made shoe buckles from Integrity (and weirdly enough there is an example on the very next doll), that would look more like the ones on the original Manolos, it puzzles me as to why this choice was made - maybe lack of resources in the factory? They look bad. The doll is beautiful, with the trademark SJP hair in abundance - and it is the second Giselle we get this year.

The Story:
Ready to walk the red carpet at the "Girl In The City" Pre-Premiere screening, top-model Aymeline wears a classic Jason Wu gown, sure to land her on NU.MODE Magazine's "who wore it best" list!
Included:
12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Jason Wu original multi-layered gown with ruching detailing at the bodice and ruffled neckline;
Black satin high-heeled pumps with oversized buckles covered in tiny "diamonds";
Drop pendant earring covered in "diamonds" and "stones";
Navy blue "crystal" clutch purse;
Pair of FR hands;
Alternate pair of "pose" hands (not shown);
"Stay Tuned" doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
Can anyone tell me why Aymeline has the original Hangisi Manolos while Giselle was left with a knockoff? LOL, cannot wait to see the two of them in a catfight for the pumps! A beautiful Aymeline, with red hair, that reminds me a bit of Androgyny Avantguard doll. The dress is not actually in his 2021 Fall collection but looks like a cross between a gown from that collection with an OOAK gown he made for Kristin Davis for the And Just Like That premiere (fits with this occasion perfectly, right?). She’s a catch - the price is the same as her previous incarnations and she has it all.

The Story:
Aymeline just adored the premiere episode of "Girl In The City" (well, what little she saw of it!) and now that the screening is over, like a well-choreographed ballet, she rushed to emerge in another breath-taking Jason Wu original and completely transformed her look, just in time to turn heads again for the Post-Premiere party! What could be more glamorous? Like a beautiful chameleon, her incredible transformation created a sensational fashion moment and we're all thrilled to be there for it!
Included:
12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Jason Wu original evening gown with multi-tiered ruffles;
Hot pink clutch purse;
Hot pink opera-length gloves;
"Diamond" necklace;
"Diamond" stud earrings;
Hot pink lace-up high-heels;
Pair of FR hands (not shown);
Alternate pair of "pose" hands;
"Stay Tuned" doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
Even though the doll is named Jason Wu Collection Spring 2020, there is no such dress in that collection apart from a similar but quite different finale gown. W Club confirmed that Jason said this is the same 2012 gown worn by the first Net-A-Porter 10th anniversary exclusive doll (in chartreuse) back in 2017. I guess since they already had the pattern, they decided it looks close enough to name it 2020. The gorgeous doll reminds me a lot of the ITBE Higher doll, but (unfortunately) in a lighter skin tone. She would have looked so much better in light honey or latino. She compliments the red head perfectly, plus they will make an awesome trio with my NAP Midnight Garden blonde Aymeline.
