Another Jason Wu designed W Club 20th anniversary doll: Optic Gold Nadja Rhymes

We thought we were getting one Jason Wu Club 20th Anniversary doll this year but, no, we just discovered we are actually getting another one (and a Poppy to come). All W Club members get the chance to pre-order "Optic Gold" Nadja Rhymes, designed by Jason Wu. There was also a mention during the video pre-recorded presentation that we will see him again soon - is that for his Poppy or something else entirely?

The Story:

In celebration of the W Club’s 20th anniversary, Jason Wu brought together varied inspirations to create the gorgeous Optic Gold Nadja Rhymes doll! He blended collector-favorite past Fashion Royalty couture (in Optic Verve and Optic Clash), marrying it with an inspirational gown that Wu had conceptualized for a famous celebrity. He chose Nadja as the perfect representative model, using custom fabric made for his own adult-sized couture fashions to complete the look. The result, another gorgeous, celebratory creation available to all W Club members to order as a special bonus!

Included:

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

• Opulent golden strapless gown with oversized bow detail at the waist, made of sumptuous Jason Wu custom couture fabric;

• Golden martelé texture clutch purse;

• Golden ankle-strapped high heels;

• Runway-inspired asymmetrical golden and "jeweled" earrings;

• Extravagant three-tiered "jeweled" necklace;

• Pair of grip hands;

• Alternate pair of golden chromed gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Jason said that this, contrary to his dolls always wearing miniature versions of his dresses, is inspired by a Fashion Royalty holy grail doll: Optic Verve Agnes Von Weiss. But there is a thread connecting this to his real-life dresses: the fabric is a scaled down version of the one used on a gown from his Fall/Winter 2024 collection (seen on the left below) and later worn by Eiza González on the premiere of her film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in April 2024 (seen on the right below).

The fabric is metallic and has a martelé texture (hammered metal) that is quite difficult to translate to doll scale - you can see it better on the train of the dress in the photo of the doll’s back. They had to go to the factory that made the fabric for Jason originally, to recreate it in doll scale. She is literally dripping with gold - her hands are chrome gloves, she has a coordinating clutch (with martelé texture too), the earrings are a new design that looks organic (they are slightly different from each other) and the necklace is a remake of the one Optic Verve Agnes was wearing. Nadja’s face could have used a bit more intense lip colour to pop. The price is a bit lower than the usual Jason Wu Collection dolls come with, but the extra tariff charge makes it the same.

First new doll for the 2025 W Club year is a special anniversary Jason Wu Collection Fashion Royalty: Venus Rising Eugenia Perrin Frost

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the W Club, so a special Jason Wu doll was promised during last year’s convention. The time has come to unveil "Venus Rising" Eugenia Perrin-Frost, designed by Fashion Royalty's original visionary, Jason Wu. She is a made-to-order doll, which does not happen often for a Wu doll. Added bonus, she’s a new version of the elusive grail Venus Eugenia.

Venus Rising

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll

The Jason Wu™ Collection

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Winter 2025

Head Sculpt: Eugenia

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Black/Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $225 + S & H - Special W Club Price: $199 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2025 W Club members only- 1 per membership. ($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $149.00 + S & H due in approximately Winter 2025)

The Story:

As Jason Wu decided on the best way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the W Club with a special Made-to-order doll for collectors, he started with a grail—hearkening back to the ultra-ultra-limited “Venus Lingerie” doll, which was a premium purchase through the Venus Secret lingerie shop in Taiwan. Using the original colour palette as inspiration, Jason has modernised the look with an infusion of luxury, using a miniaturised version of a gorgeous ensemble from his Spring 2013 collection, choosing a slightly different skirt construction and a new hairstyle to create this incredibly special and glamorous look.

Included:

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

• Beautifully hand-beaded sleeveless bodysuit with voluminous floor-length skirt and removable harness;

• Golden apple purse with chain detail;

• Black strappy tie heels with golden accents;

• Golden knot earrings;

• Jason Wu branded doll-sized lipstick accessory;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Venus Eugenia was a very limited edition doll, specially made for the Venus Secret lingerie company of Taiwan, when they asked Jason to make them something special for their customers. According to yesterday’s presentation (Carol Roth had Jason Wu as a guest to talk about the doll and his years with Integrity, alongside Alain Trembley who had two prototypes of the doll to show), that edition was only 100 dolls. I still remember the frenzy, when word got out about the doll, of collectors trying to secure one. And now club members can have one of their own! The new doll has the same screening as the original one, with a different hairstyle and hair colour (original had loose wave black hair) and same skintone. She looks gorgeous and I am certain she will be a hit with collectors again. Jason mentioned that he picked Eugenia back when he made Venus as she was one of the new characters, but she had been around for three years by then, and had ten previous incarnations already released (including some very desired grail ones).

The dress is based on one of Jason’s designs from his Spring 2013 collection as shown in the photo above. Jason said that the original design did not translate well in doll scale, leaving the dress looking too small. Tulle is always difficult to scale properly for dolls but at least they could have given different lengths to the layers in the doll skirt, so that it would show better. The beading of the bodysuit is hand made (and looks amazing), so expect more time for delivery than is usual for made-to-order dolls. The shoes do not look like the originals (despite what Jason mentioned) but they look great (love the metallic tips on the ribbons), while the bag looks cool too. She comes with a Jason Wu lipstick and a pair of earrings too. The price is the standard for Jason Wu club dolls.

Below you can see a video of the doll rotating.

The story:

The crowd roared as Adèle Makéda glided across the red carpet, a magnetic presence that left fans, influencers, and paparazzi scrambling for the perfect shot. The big fashion industry event known merely as the “Anniversary Gala” was the event of the year, and with it being the 20th anniversary, invitations were as rare as diamonds—even among the W Cosmetics team and major fashion houses. As Adèle was escorted to the VIP section for an exclusive champagne tasting reserved for the elite, she scanned the other VIPs to find a friendly face—and hopefully avoid some others that she prayed were left off the guest list.

Then, she felt a tap on her shoulder. A chill shot down her spine. She spun around, ready to toast with a champagne glass in hand—only to drop it in shock. The silhouette before her was unmistakable. It could only be... - Designed by Jessy Ayala

• Doll-sized W branded compact with "makeup" and mirror;

• Large jeweled cuff bracelet;

• One large and one small jeweled ring;

• Large jeweled earrings;

• Opera-length tulle gloves;

• Elegant black tulle veil;

• Pair of FR hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What a beautiful Adele to finish the club year! She looks fantastic. Wearing a colour variant of a F/W 2024/25 Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown , she is radiant and elegant. Her screening and hairstyle do bring to mind most recent Adele dolls, but the combination looks quite different as to warrant a yes from me. The gown has been released from JamieShow Dolls as well as an outfit only edition, and in the original colour, but is quite different in the construction style of the bodice. The bow bit is removable - it remains to be seen if it can be also worn as a shawl. She also has a veil, a shopping bag and a shoe box (they have begun to pop up often lately, no?). We get two pairs of shoes and a flat feet set as well, plus those champagne flutes with the removable liquid imitation, She also has the gala invitation (in an envelope no less), a 2002 FR dealer catalogue and a W Cosmetics makeup compact with mirror. Plus of course her nice jewellery suite.

Jessy also provided an additional photo to show a closer view of some of the accessories.

The 2nd W Club doll of the year is Graceful Reign - Vanessa Perrin channels Princess Grace

I could think of many ways to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Fashion Royalty with a special doll (Jason Wu making a Veronique Perrin exclusive would have been my first thought) but I would definitely not think what IT designer Jessy Ayala did. Graceful Reign Vanessa Perrin is the 20th Anniversary tribute to the origins of Fashion Royalty with a twist. We saw Vanessa 3.0 in the Nu Fantasy comeback, so the choice of the same character again was a bit unexpected.

Apart from the “Vanessa again?”, the doll is quite beautiful, her colouring one that always looks great on a Fashion Royalty doll and is very versatile. Jessy had Princess Grace on his mood-board as inspiration, which is what makes the doll not quite what she should have been. The end result is dowdy and conservative. It is how a middle aged woman would dress for a royal occasion, if she was a member of one of Europe’s royal families. Vanessa on the other hand is a fashion icon and much younger, so we would have expected her to send up the royalty part in a modern, more youthful way. I would have looked more on the work of PierPaolo Piccioli in Valentino and Richard Quinn, and also the incomparable Christopher John Rogers. This is so retro and modest, it could be worn by Princess Anne or the Queens of Sweden, Norway or the Netherlands.

Having said that, the fabric is sumptuous and the accessories appropriately royal. The choice of headgear would look better on a Southeast Asian royal than a western one. The blue gloves are not as conservative as white ones would have been (like Princess Grace wore), but then again it is something one would expect of Queen Elizabeth, not a young fashion prodigy. Just imagine the whole outfit done either in jewel tones or a bright contrasting print and it would have been so much better and desirable. Will I get her? I still have not made up my mind. Have you?

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*

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.
