Some time ago, there was an unexpected email from W Club, explaining that some members who had ordered dolls from the Cirque Cabaret event, had mistakenly been sent another doll, one that was not yet released. It was a new character and we would soon discover more about her. A profile photo of the doll’s head, with its protective hair net still one, made the rounds. Most people surmised that it looked like the expected 1/6th scale version of the open-mouthed Avantguard sculpt. And now, we got the confirmation. Additionally, the first appearance is designed by Jason Wu’s and she is a new character in the Fashion Royalty canon. The doll comes dressed in a miniature Jason Wu look inspired by one of his life sized creations that appeared in his Fall/Winter 2023 collection, featuring a long evening coat and a flowing gown adorned with artwork by Jessica May Underwood, a designer and artist renowned for her delicate pencil and watercolour work. While this new character will be part of the Fashion Royalty collection, to better match the cut of the gown, the designer chose to debut the doll on the NU. Face body. The doll is available through lottery exclusively for W Club members.

The Story:
When her sister Aymeline first entered the modeling industry, Anais thought it was cliché. The society set was filled with people with famous last names-- and those like Aymeline who dropped hers professionally, but still had the connections to go into fashion, modeling or influencing. Anais wanted nothing to do with that. She was always a bit more rock-and-roll—a free spirit who loved counter-culture and being contrarian. After attending an elite boarding school in Switzerland, she charted her own path. She photographed alternative bands, mixed high-end couture pieces with fast-fashion and hung out at cool underground clubs throughout Europe. While she didn’t mean to be an influencer, her following grew organically—she was authentic and she was cool. But a trust fund doesn’t stretch as far these days as it used to, and Anais knew she had to do something else. Given who she was and the heft of her family, she consistently received offers from major fashion houses, luxury brands and more to get involved. Finally, she gave in. When Anais told her sister that she was following in her runway footsteps, Aymeline was shocked. Then Anais dropped the bomb. “Just so you know, I will be using our last name…you can add it if you want.” Aymeline was frustrated. She wanted to try to make her own way—as much as one could when everyone knew who your family was. But her sister Anais figured she would lean into it. Their cousins were very successful in fashion and cosmetics, and that meant the Perrin name could fetch an extra premium…

Mystery solved: we finally get to see the new character added to FR. And she’s not only Aymeline’s sister, they are both Perrin cousins! I don’t think we needed more Perrin family members to be added to the story - why not Elyse cousins? Or a totally different family with a more interesting backstory than wealthy Monegasque blue-bloods become models? Is this the best IT can do with the story-lines?
The doll is gorgeous: as with her sister, the 1/6th scaling of the Avantguard sculpt (this one being the open mouth one), works really well and gives us a gorgeous face. Hairstyle and make up work well with it, giving her a dreamlike quality and elegance that contradicts her supposedly “rock” attitude. Doesn’t she look a bit like Gigi Hadid? Also, some members got curious about her make up, noticing similarities with the Jason Wu Poppy dolls and wondered if we had another sticker screening doll coming. The liaisons only said in reply that the screening used for the Wu Poppy dolls is exclusive to them and them alone. But that is not what people are wondering about - it is the application method worrying them. IT and the liaisons declined to answer citing industrial espionage reasons (LOL, honestly - if a competitor wants to know how you produce the dolls, they buy one and dissect it. Simple as that). I must say this does not spell Integrity at all.
The outfit, as noted above, is from Jason Wu’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection (you can see it above) and it looks great in miniature. It is a minimal luxury look that gives The Row vibes but with an Asian twist, which is really good. The doll comes with a pair of earrings (luckily not simple studs as Jason usually gives his collection dolls), high heeled sandals, a purse (another extra addition for a Wu doll) and underwear - the bra peeps through the top of the dress as in the original. You can see the doll in the video below:
