The W Club 2025 registration period has begun! And it celebrates its 20th anniversary!

The W Club registration period for 2025 has just begun - and this year it celebrates its 20th anniversary since it begun back in 2006. I joined in 2007, so my 20th will be next year! If I remember correctly, the first W Club exclusive were Agnes Von Weiss Dressing The Part and Veronique Perrin Stylish Escape. The W Club is the one and only Official Collectors' Club for Integrity Toys, covering all their brands including Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face, NU. Fantasy, East 59th, The Monarchs: Homme, Meteor, Tulabelle True & Co. and more. Registration is only open once a year, so make sure to register by 9 PM ET on Wednesday, March 19th, if you want to be a part of it. A base membership (one time $50 fee) covers all of these perks and more for the 2025 membership year. You can watch the registration video or contact the club if you have any questions.

In addition to the first-to-know information, members-only forum, online chats, priority customer service and special events, W Club members will receive the following opportunities:

  • Five additional W Club exclusive made-to-order dolls guaranteed throughout the year (we cannot guarantee which lines they will be from or how many from which line, but we are currently expecting that these will come from Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face and/or NU. Fantasy during 2025).

  • Special pricing for most* IT Direct releases that are also made available to the public.

  • Priority access for online and in-person events, if any**.

*THIS IS FOR MOST, NOT ALL of the items. There may be some items excepted, including but not limited to collaboration projects or sales outside of Integrity’s control, such as through dealers.

**If there are any limited attendance events, priority access does not guarantee every W Club member a spot. Some spots may be held for the public or other purposes. Access to any online events does not guarantee access to event-specific products offered.

More details are available in the FAQs (click here to read). The detail purchasing instructions for buying the membership and the registration dolls are here. The big news were that:

  1. No in-person convention for 2025 but an online one, available to all club members.

  2. A Jason Wu doll for the 20th anniversary of the club (outside the 5 club dolls)

  3. Maybe a small scale event similar to Curated but not confirmed.

  4. A lot of teasing about some out of the box releases.

2025 w club registration exclusive dolls

Lilith, Agnes and Poppy are each $175 above the cost of the $50 base membership.So that is $10.00 more than last year for FR and NU Face and $15.00 more for Poppy Parker. Last year the prices were up to only $5.00 per doll. And with the current tariff situation unfolding, it’s going to get worse. A $30 deposit per doll is payable when registering and the $145 balance is due (plus shipping/fees/taxes) upon shipment, currently expected to be Fall 2025, but may happen earlier or later than projected. Let’s check out the dolls on offer.

The Story:

Lilith knew that her good friend and fellow NU. Face model Giselle’s older sister, the Baroness Agnes von Weiss, was pouring millions of dollars into a new lifestyle venture. Agnes had immensely wealthy backers and a lot of promotional work was to be had for the new “AvW” brand. Always savvy, Lilith positioned herself to be part of the social and print media launches. Agnes thought the idea was brilliant and wanted both Lilith and her twin sister Eden to work in tandem.

Despite prodding from her sister, Eden pushed back. Eden was very loyal to W Cosmetics and the Perrins and thought there might be a conflict in working so closely with Agnes. This was creating some issues between the sisters, which was only heightened when Agnes secured Lilith an invitation to the 20th Anniversary Gala, but not one for Eden.

The night of the event, Agnes picked Lilith up in her chauffeured platinum Bentley, where they discussed some key networking tactics for the event as Lilith primped her look. Lilith went to grab her favorite W Cosmetics lip gloss and stopped herself. The gloss was too good to give up, but Lilith didn't even want to imagine the wrath that would come her way if Agnes saw her use anything with her biggest rival's logo on it. Her contract would surely be torn up on the spot, at a minimum!

Upon arrival at the Gala, Agnes realized they hadn’t received all-access “VIP” level entrance.

Making sure to be indispensable to Agnes, Lilith created a diversion by getting her dress caught in the Bentley’s door, screaming and attracting paparazzi and then turning in the perfect way to model the gown for the photos…

“It’s an AvW original, launching soon” Lilith said to each reporter and photographer who snapped her orchestrated picture, turning “in distress” into “check out this dress!”

Lilith watched Agnes sneak into the VIP lounge and gave a wry smile to the cameras, pleased with her work. Her sister would never…

I admit I was a bit disappointed seeing Lilith as an upgrade doll again. I was expecting either a real surprise like Takeo returning, or at least Dominique or Annik. But I guess IT wants a very surefire doll sculpt to entice more collectors to join, and the Blair twins are very popular. Also, what is it with no dark skinned or Asian dolls (yes I know Rayna is from the Middle East but she is Caucasian-passing) not appearing as upgrades two years in a row? IT is a black owned company that was created to offer a diversity of dolls for a neglected part of the doll market - it does not show here.

Lustre_Lilith_Blair_doll accessories

Even though this is not a favourite sculpt of mine (and I know I am in the minority here), this particular doll ticks a lot of boxes for me. I like her hairstyle and make up, I like her dress and accessories and the overall look is quite impressive, as a club doll should be. So I might probably end up getting her along with my membership.Her dress reminds me of Laquan Smith dresses like this one.Below is a closer look at her gala related accessories (the story-line continues from the last W Club doll for 2024).

The Story:

The Baroness herself, Agnes Von Weiss, had been plotting her comeback for several years—an eponymous lifestyle brand that ventured into every territory imaginable, including fashion, cosmetics, accessories and other lifestyle wares. She had decided that the Blair twins would be the perfect influencers to help launch the brand across social and print media, and while Lilith Blair had jumped on the opportunity, her sister Eden was being difficult to nail down.

Critical to getting the right press for the launch was appearing at the industry event known to insiders as the “Anniversary Gala”. With it being the 20th anniversary, invitations were more coveted than ever, and Agnes spent hefty sums with PR agents and gift baskets making sure to secure her limited invite. Agnes was thrilled that she was able to secure invitations for her and Lilith, and decided it would be a perfect opportunity for them to both dress in preview pieces from the fashion part of the collection, now going under the “AvW” brand.

In addition to working on her launch, Agnes was also trying to distract her competition. She was sabotaging launch events by stealing booked space, offering a higher price, double-booking noted fashion photgraphers and even catfishing key players at rival brands, including Vanessa Perrin, to whom she had sent everything from love poems in French to bouquets of flowers.

Agnes was very pleased with her work until she and Lilith arrived at the event in her chauffeured Bentley. After emerging from the car to paparazzi clicks, she noticed two lines—one for guests and one for VIPs…

“Lilith, dear, does your invitation say ‘VIP” on it?” Agnes inquired.

Lilith shook her head "no".

“I am going to need you to create a diversion,” Agnes directed.

Lilith got the train of her gown intentionally stuck in the Bentley’s door, calling for help and distracting everyone. This created just the diversion needed for Agnes to slip past security and sneak directly into the VIP champagne tasting area.

While several of the event organizers knew Agnes had not been invited to the champagne lounge, nobody dared approach her, worried that she would cause a commotion.

However, the calm did not last. When Agnes spotted Adèle Makéda in a small group toasting, she sauntered right up to her and tapped her shoulder. Adèle turned around and in shock, dropped her champagne, with the liquid spraying down the front of Agnes’s gown…

Agnes is a fitting 20th anniversary club registration exclusive for FR (see the beginning of this post), but so would have been Veronique, which was the expectation from a large number of collectors. An equally large number were expecting a doll that has a long time to appear for the club, either Natalia or one of the older Homme guys - Pierre, Francisco or even Takeo Mizutani. Nevertheless, here she is in a big Barbie styled and coloured gown that is not very Agnes at all. I understand we already got many mermaid shaped dresses recently, but there are other shapes to an evening dress (and plenty of couture houses to copy, ehm, sorry, reference). The stretchy lace that makes up the finishing of the bustier top and its removable belt do not help the least. Her face is gorgeous, with the Ocean Drive screening (which can be retired now, please) and her luscious hair bring to mind Optic Verve Agnes but also Optic Clash Dania Zarr.

Gardenia _Agnes_Von_Weiss_doll accessories

Her accessories are very nice, the gorgeous retro-styled bag, the rose adorned shoes, the jewellery suite and the gala extras. Although these are a bit lacking compared to Lilith or Adele - one champagne glass only (with two options for its content, tilted and level - the tilt looks hyperbolic in the photos, only close to the mouth the liquid might get this angle) and no cosmetics item - she could have had something from her own new brand to showcase at the event. I am on the verge of ordering her as well but not certain and that says something.

The Story:

As Poppy Parker was on the way to the movie premiere event for "Pinkie", she closed her eyes and daydreamed. What luck that while taking her precious pet Pinkie Parker to the salon for her very first "pawdicure", she happened to run into Jack Jeffries, the biggest movie magnate in all of Hollywood! Jack had been wanting to work with Poppy and was so smitten with Pinkie, he offered them both a movie deal on the spot, with Pinkie getting the title role! When Poppy finally arrived at the premiere and stepped onto the red carpet, she couldn't help but giggle as swarms of fans clamored not just for hers, but for Pinkie's "pawtograph", too!

Ever since Ciao Poppy! (a very limited Italian convention release) and even more Pink Lemonade (the most ordered Poppy ever), IT has been trying to recreate the moment and make pink-haired Poppy dolls a regular theme. The obvious Barbie parallels are too much to ignore though and, despite being inspired by one of the extravagant looks of Shirley MacLaine in What A Way To Go, she looks bored and tired. If she had the original look from the film it would have looked so much better - IT needs to secure the license to do the full round of costumes from that film, it is a tour-de-force by Edith Head. The hairstyle couls have either been more like the one Shirley has with the look in the film or at least reference Mayhem In Monte Carlo Poppy. Or make something new and similar to this fantasy hair interpretation. She has a new screening, which David Buttry said was inspired by elements he liked from other Poppy screenings. I am not fond of it in this iteration, will wait to see how it looks in different colours and another doll. The hair is the same as Commanding Attention Poppy. The fabric of the dress has been seen before, in a different colour, on the Scope Out outfit from last year’s convention Style Lab Rayna (no.7). Not crazy about it.

Glamour_Pink_Poppy_Parker_doll accessories

She comes with the flat dog she has been with before, this time in pink, as supposedly the dog is the star who’s attending the premiere of its film. We have seen the stole before but not in this colour and she is lacking the then ubiquitous opera length gloves, which would make the whole look much more 60s adjacent. The rest of the accessories are typical Poppy ones. The dog gets a carry-all bag made of carton, which looks like a milk carton with a flat dog inside.

Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilletos Out day 3: The W Club Luncheon

The first W Club luncheon in five years took place on Saturday, the last day of the convention. Attendees were told they arrived in "Egypt" for the luncheon, and discovered that "Oasis" Agnes Von Weiss was the centerpiece doll, designed by Jessy Ayala. And by the end, they were given "Mirage" Giselle Diefendorf as the giveaway doll, also designed by Jessy Ayala, which when combined with "Oasis" forms a fabulous two-doll gift set. Of course the dolls were not there, people could only see photos on the screen or as a cut out on their tables. The prototypes were displayed for people to see and photograph at the designated area. Carol Roth hosted the classic Q & A with the Integrity Toys Design Team, where many W Club member's questions were answered. Club members not attending had the chance to watch this session on video, which was great. Needless to say, the elephant in the room never got addressed.

An ancient Egyptian inspired Agnes? Yes please! The colours of the doll and outfit are a great match and the overall design is very regal - as it befits her. I am not crazy about her shoes - I’d rather have her wearing some gold sandals. I also would have preferred that her jewellery stones matched more the ones she has on her bustier, as that light blue one is kind of washed out compared to the rest. The bag is, appropriately, the Chanel Métiers d’Art Scarab clutch. The outfit looks a lot like stuff I was designing in the 90s, after I finished my fashion design and pattern making studies, as I was always inspired by the ancient Egyptian civilization.

Giselle could not not follow her big sister’s inspiration and take ancient Egyptian elements into account for her outfit, in a more youthful way of course. Contrary to Agnes though, the jewellery is not very Egyptian-like. I love the dress (which has the same décolleté embellishment as her sister’s), but the colour of the boots throws me off. Love the azure nail colour too! Would have preferred a shorter hair length, to be a little more ancient Egypt-like. Again the bag is a Chanel Métiers d'Art one, this time the Cheops bag. YSL had also made a pyramid bag.

Fashion Royalty Moments mini collection - did we really need this?

We already knew since the beginning of this club year that a major part of the releases in 2023 would be “Moments”, i.e. repeated versions in alternate colours of previous dolls from Jessy Ayala. Fashion Royalty now has three new dolls for the Moments Collection, designed by him. They are all available through W Club-only "right-to-buy" lotteries and each has an edition of 1,200 dolls. I think the Moments idea was interesting but that it had to expand throughout the IT history and not only on Jessy’s dolls. There are so many incredible dolls that deserved a second appearance in a recoloured version and we are not getting that, having instead dolls that their original versions are only a few years old.

This doll is a re-imagining of the Little Day Ensemble Veronique from the 2020 Maison FR Collection - but not just that. The choice of fabric and colours (both doll and ensemble) give the doll a very Stylish Escape vibe - a W Club doll from 2006 (800 edition). Nice but I already have the original Stylish Escape suit, so it is more than enough for my collection. Would love to have this bag though, it is gorgeous.

Pink_Glam_Adèle_Makéda_Dressed_Doll

Another iteration of the Glam aesthetic, this Adele is a direct recolouring of Miami Glam Kesenia Valentinova from 2020 online convention, who was a re-imagining of Glow Vanessa Perrin from 2006m who was inspired by the Versace Barbie of 2004. The doll looks gorgeous and reminds me of two previous versions of her: Le Smoking from the Gloss convention (2014) and Petite Robe Classique from the 2020 online event. The dress was not a favourite in its first iteration on Kesenia, it remains so this time, with the added problem that it looks very transparent. I might have entered for this doll but January means two pre-orders arriving, so I will skip. Best doll of the three in my opinion. They gave a warning about her hair colour in the email:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The hair color on this doll is a shade of espresso brown in person (slightly lighter than shown in the product pictures). Please take note that this doll does not have black hair. Please refer to the "in-person" video as it is more reflective of the correct shade for this doll's hair;

The Story:

At this point, there's no one left for Baroness Agnes Von Weiss to upstage and outshine... Other than herself! And what better way to become the talk of the night than to show up to the same fabulous soirée four years later in an unexpected color variation version of her most sensational look!

Sensational_Soirée _Agnes_Von_Weiss_Dressed_Doll

We have seen Agnes sport chartreuse before: Truly, Madly, Deeply was the event doll at the 2012 collection presentation. She even had a hairstyle quite similar to this. Of course she is the recoloured version of Intimate Soirée from the 2020 online convention. She looks gorgeous and the colouring suits her a lot. But, as I already have Truly, Madly, Deeply as well as the 2014 event doll High Visibility, who has similar colouring (red hair and lips), I think I’m covered. Love the fox brooch. And I remembered that her dress reminds me of Cosmetic Takeover Natalia.

So, are you entering for any of these three ladies? You can also check the video showing them rotating - and wonder why did Adele get short-shifted and has what clearly is a bad, homemade video, instead of the glammed up one the other two dolls have.

If you want to buy more than one character, or have questions on how to do this in the shopping cart, click here for more instructions.

Integrity Toys W Club 2022 upgrade dolls group: Eden Blair, Agnes Von Weiss and Poppy Parker dolls.

Each doll is $160 above the cost of your $50 base membership. $30 is payable today and $130 balance is due (plus shipping/fees/taxes) upon shipment, expected to be Fall 2022. I do not know if these prices are with the special discount for W Club members that we will be getting for many dolls this year instead of the coupon or these are regular prices (my money is on the discount and that the regular price will be $175). They also mentioned the effort to have lower shipping costs from USPS and that they get lower prices from them as a company - which is not true, as I had people ship me dolls from the US and pay the same price as Integrity charges. I am thinking of using an alternate way to ship dolls from now on, will try it as soon as possible and let you know how it goes. Let’s see the dolls now!

Earth_Angel_Eden_Blair_doll

Most of us had predicted that the NU Face upgrade doll this year would be Eden as a complimentary doll to her NU Classic twin, Lilith, and here she is. Just like the Mademoiselle Eden and Lilith dolls. She has a very different style to that of her sister: she is the downtown to Lilith’s uptown girl. A common thread would be the lovely colours of all the different elements of the outfit and the same shape glasses. The only way to make this one better would have been to have her in an afro - the middle part is beginning to look tired already. The top reminds me a lot of the convention Vanessa one and it is probably this one by Alexander McQueen. The bag and shoes are Versace (La Medusa small handbag and La Medusa Charm mules). Put her in the cart I say.

Up_With_A_Twist_Agnes_Von_Weiss

I must say that if there was another character instead of Agnes (and of course not Elyse or Eugenia yet again) I would have been a bit happier. Agnes is popular and is a favourite of mine, but there is no shortage of her ever, while some other ladies have been missing in action (Kyori, where art thou?). The doll is very beautiful and reads like a lighter version of Miami Agnes, but the dress frankly looks like a mess to me. When you do a feather and crystals covered piece of clothing in this scale, making it very tailored with cut outs and stuff is overkill. Since it was 60s inspired as Jessy informed us on the video, the dress could have been an A-line shift that would have quite a stronger impact with the feathers and the embroidery. The hair style is so Poppy Parker (The Happening for example). And one last thing: why are US people pronouncing Weiss like whiss instead of the proper (German) way which is vaiss?

Ultra_Violet_Poppy_Parker_doll

I think this is the first Poppy that makes evident the fact that she is Tullabelle’s grandmother - I can so imagine the latter wearing this outfit. The 70s vibe is strong with this one. They mentioned on the presentation that, while the Palm Springs collection is still forthcoming, there will be Poppy dolls that are not part of it - this is one of them. Of course the hime haircut, while originating in the Heian period Imperial court of Japan, was popular during the 70s in Japan because of a pop idol adopting it. Cher also had it in the early 70s (at least five photos here and a gorgeous one here), while W Club event Ayumi had it in 2020. Gorgeous doll and outfit. David posted some photos on his instagram account with inspiration for her.

Integrity Toys Obsession Convention 2021 Day 1: The Convention Collection and Salesroom exclusive dolls

The 2021 Convention Collection was presented to attendees on the first day. This year there were fewer dolls, mostly because of production delays but also because W Club member had asked to see more dolls outside the convention and less offered in it. There was only one Salesroom exclusive, which would be allocated by lottery. For the dolls shown below, the Poppy Parker doll is designed by David Buttry, the East 59th doll is designed by Chris Stoeckel, and the NU. Face and Fashion Royalty dolls are designed by Jessy Ayala. Each designer decided on a different obsession for his line, so we got a hodgepodge of styles, some hitting the mark, others leaving people dissatisfied. Let’s check out the offerings.

For Fashion Royalty, Jessy decided that the obsession would be military styling. This has been a constant influence with fashion designers since forever, some have even made it a constant in their offerings (see Ralph Lauren and Balmain). The concept was explained by IT as follows:

“Since the dawn of time, whether it is for a simple show of force or as a form of national pride, just about every blue-blooded "royal" and/or would-be leader of our world has been "obsessed" with their armed forces! With this collection, the ladies of Fashion Royalty are putting their own "fashionable might" on display by paying homage to military styling, as seen through their own unique fashion lens! Each dressed in military-inspired looks, featuring intricate construction details that you will immediately recognize, the unique personality of each of our favorite FR characters shines through and will make a definite impact on the ongoing story of Fashion Royalty! Designed by Jessy Ayala.”

Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $180.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Natalia looks more like a police woman in this suit than a military officer. And that is not good, especially after all that has happened these last few years. Jessy took an Alexander McQueen staple (the two-tone tailored suit) and styled it in a way to make it look more military like. I’m not feeling it at all, even though the execution looks great - and the recreation of the small bag on the belt is perfect. What is that thing hanging from her handbag?

The doll has a gorgeous face: she is a beautiful Natalia and I might try to find her nude at some point. The straight long hair ruins all the military styling though - she needed an up do or a short crop to finish it off perfectly.

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

This Agnes reminds me a lot of Dressing The Part Agnes, the doll styling and the silhouette of the dress is very close to that doll. Despite the Vendetta moniker, she looks very sweet and kind here, the veil and the ringlets framing her face giving her a renaissance Madonna feel. If you take away the hat, there’s nothing military about her. Her screening (not colouring) is like Malibu Agnes and Head For Glamour Agnes. She looks like the child of Taylor Swift and Grace Kelly.

Vendetta Agnes Von Weiss convention doll

The dress is actually a variation on the famous Dior Bar Suit, the iconic New Look outfit. One of the photos has the doll posed just like the model in the most famous photo depicting that outfit. With the styling though, it reminded me of this Giambattista Valli look. The shoes are transparent vinyl patterned to mimic lace. The bag is like a highly geometric version of the Lady Dior bag. Are the gloves united together by the red neck scarf?

Vendetta Agnes Von Weiss convention doll accessories

The NU. Face obsession was sports. Completely unrelated to military except that both are mainly straight male obsessions (soldiers and athletes are male gay obsessions obviously). Many designers have translated sports uniforms on the catwalk, again with a variety of success. Integrity Toys summed it up like this:

“Since the only way to stay on top of the game is to win, the ultra-fashionable modeling team of the NU. Face agency is ready to put its competitive edge to the test by showing us just how obsessed they are in their own fashionable way! Each model in this series wears a look inspired by her favorite sport or fitness activity, re-imagined in a never seen before way, from the mind of IT designer, Jessy Ayala!”

Hair Color: Dark Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Alejandra makes her second ever appearance as a baseball bunny, with a look inspired partly by the collaboration that Jeremy Scott did with Adidas back in 2014. While the overall impression is not imminently fashion, it is kind of attractive, mainly because of Alejandra - see how a good model saves the outfit?

Varsity Alejandra Luna convention doll

The doll is a recoloured version of the OG Alejandra with a ponytail. The make up is a bit harsher here, in line with her being an obsessed baseball player I guess. But the overall impression is that she’s too basic for the price. She could have been a giveaway/souvenir doll but for a convention collection one, she’s seriously under-dressed. Jessy said that the number 82 on her cap is the item number for NU Face. Nice to see they have both sets of legs, high heel and flat articulated.

Violaine looks more like Poppy Parker than a Perrin sister in this incarnation. Many people find a similarity to Bergdorf Goodman Poppy in particular, but her Princess Leia hairstyle makes this quite impossible for me. The sport she’s supposedly obsessed with is ballet, which is a bit weird as ballet is not what one would normally think of when considering sports. Ballet is an art form, not a sport (although there are plenty of straight male humans out there that consider sports as art). So I do not find this relevant, plus the doll is so different in style from the rest of the NU Face ladies that it speaks for itself.

En Pointe Violaine Perrin Convention doll

The outfit reminds me of what Sarah Burton did in her Fall/Winter 2020 collection for Alexander McQueen, putting harnesses over asymmetrically hemmed dresses. But also the Spring/Summer 2017 collection of Gauri and Nainika from India, who did many different iterations of the concept. I would have preferred the harness over the top (which then would have to be more tailored) for a better look and also in a contrasting colour. This total beige look, while very ballet in feel, looks very bland.

En Pointe Violaine Perrin Convention doll

Thankfully, Poppy Parker had a more fashion-related obsession: Parisian Couture. Unfortunately, there is only one Poppy in this year’s convention collection. Here’s the company description:

“Poppy Parker gives us a glimpse at her latest look, as she is seen attending a very special soirée in Paris, celebrating her favorite French Couturier, Louis Laurent! Designed by David Buttry!”

Silver Soiree Poppy Parker convention doll

She is a lovely doll - echoing the Style Lab Get It Together doll from 2019’s convention. She has a screening seen before on Oh La La, Powder Puff and other Poppy dolls, with a different colouring. She is both soft and strong, which is nice and gives her a certain glow. People who saw the online presentation during the convention and the doll in David’s hands, said she looked even better.

Silver Soiree Poppy Parker convention doll

The dress sort of reminds me of another 2019 convention Poppy, Young Romantic. They would look cool displayed next to each other. Since the French designer she’s obsessed with echoes Yves Saint Laurent a bit, I tried searching for a similar style in his early collections (both the Dior years and his first solo collections) but there is not much online to work with. The accessories are nothing that stands out but fit the style perfectly.

Silver Soiree Poppy Parke  convention doll

There was only on 2021 Convention Salesroom Exclusive, Victoire Roux, obsessed with Surrealist Art. that gave the opportunity to Chris Stoeckel to give her a Mugler outfit from his 1995 Fall Couture collection. Here’s Integrity Toys description:

“1950s top-model Victoire Roux channels her own personal Obsession for modern art and beauty, as she pays homage to her friend and fellow French citizen, famous surrealist visual artist Man Ray!"

Wearing an original creation by Integrity Toys designer Chris Stoeckel, this truly unique doll features a special "one-eyed" sculptural mask, which attaches to the doll's head using a special magnetized earring, which is included in the set! Fun and versatile, Victoire makes a statement wearing a long, flowing black lace floor-length evening coat, or a high-contrast, wearing her flamboyant pink jacket!”

She’s a winner! Easily the best doll of the convention so far, this unusual Victoire edition is a couture marvel! Her main outfit is a reversal of look 3 of the Fall/Winter Haute Couture Thierry Mugler collection (lace for the coat instead of patent leather, vinyl for the bodysuit instead of lace. There is also a magenta sculpted jacket that can be worn instead of the coat, taken from look 13 of the same Mugler collection. And there is that mask!

Black Ice Victoire Roux convention doll

The doll is gorgeous too - with her silver hair and intense make up, she channels not only Simonetta Gianfelici who modelled the original outfit and was a muse to both Mugler and Claude Montana, but also the very regal and imposing Carmen Dell’ Orefice, the model that has the longest modelling career ever, from the 1950s till now. She’s totally different from any of her previous iterations.

Black Ice Victoire Roux convention doll

I think it would have been better that they had her story be like she is the Carmen of her world - Victoire keeps modelling even in the modern era and she dons the outfit in a runway of our time, older but ageless. Just like Carmen. Surrealism was a hot thing in fashion a bit earlier than Victoire’s era (Elsa Schiaparelli collaborated with Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau to create some memorable and influential stuff, and the 50s was her last decade of work), but this is so distinctly Mugler that the story falls flat. And no, she’s not channelling 60’s Catwoman extraordinaire Julie Newmar - wrong era for Victoire.
