Yesterday the W Club members received news of the second (of five) Club doll of the year. Everyone was happy to discover that it was another addition to the extremely popular Heirloom Nu Face collection, designed by the talented Jesse Ayala. Metamorphosis Erin Salston is a gorgeous doll with two outfits. The first, a flowery print flowing gown, reminds me a lot of Giambattista Valli's couture dresses, with the asymmetrical skirt, the butterfly crown (that's the heirloom) and the flower print. The second one is a more minimal and streamlined look by Alexander Vauthier's Spring/Summer 2017 collection that juxtaposes casual (jean shorts) with glamour (long asymmetrical dress). I think that Jessie combined elements from two Vauthier tops in this one. Photos from possible inspirations accompany the respective outfits. Remember, preorder for W Club members ends on September 8th!

Metamorphosis
Erin Salston™ Dressed Doll Gift Set
The Heirloom Collection
2017 W Club Exclusive
Edition Size:TBA
Estimated Arrival: Early Spring 2018
Pricing: (Limit of one per W Club membership) $175.00 US +S & H
The gift set is gorgeous. I like Erin's sculpt and I do not yet own a brunette one so she will be the one. The face screening and ski tone match perfectly and the braid is stylish yet versatile. The outfits are both gorgeous and with their original inspirations coming from very favourite designers, which is a plus in my book. The only thing missing is a bag. For this price, it should have been included.

Sinuhe Guzman pointed out to me that the upper part of this Giambattista Valli Autumn/Winter 2016 Prêt-à-Porter dress looks like the one Erin is wearing.
UPDATE: Stephanie Daniel-Walker from the W Club found another dress that looks a lot like Erin's: it is a Monique Lhuillier dress from her Resort 2018 collection:
