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

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, the final product may vary. Background and props are not included. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only. The doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

We know the 4th W Club doll and it is a blast from the past: Poème d'Amour Vanessa Perrin Gift Set

The 4th W Club Exclusive doll of the 2024 membership year was presented through an email before the end of January, bringing us a bit closer to the end of the club year. "Poème d'Amour" Vanessa Perrin, is a doll by Integrity Toys designer Jessy Ayala: a bridal gift set that evokes the spirit of early Fashion Royalty gift sets (Poesie Sans Couleur Vanessa to be exact).

The story:

During a photo shoot for a special new collab between W Cosmetics and famously glamorous bridal fashion designer Ambra Liange, Vanessa Perrin was the picture of perfection as a blushing bride, showcasing three different stunning looks-- lingerie, a cocktail dress and a bridal gown-- effortlessly. But after a full day's work, when she returned to the dressing room exhausted, as she sat at her vanity to take her make-up off, she noticed an envelope with the name "Vanessa" written on it. Her head was spinning as she opened it to reveal an anonymous Poème d'Amour all about her. But, who this could be from? - Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Exquisite strapless lace bridal gown with peplum accented by a small removable waist bow and double-tiered mermaid train;

• Long sheer bridal veil decorated with applique details;

• Ivory pumps;

• "Jeweled" clutch purse;

• Handbag with lock detail;

• Opera-length net gloves;

• FR branded shoe box;

• White sunglasses;

• "Pearl" stud earrings;

• "Pearl" drop earrings;

• "Pearl" and "jeweled" earrings;

• Large "diamond" engagement ring;

• "Pearl" and "jeweled" ring;

• "Gold" ring with baby blue flowers and tiny "pearl" detail;

• "Pearl" drop necklace;

• "Pearl" and "jeweled" bracelet;

• "Diamond" and "pearl" tennis bracelet;

• Pair of FR hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Luxe, Atelier-style packaging;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

A giftset inspired by Poesie Sans Couleur Vanessa Perring FDQ giftset from 2005. Even the box design, as you can see further below, mimics the style of that set. We get a very different silhouette for the dress than the OG one, this time with a peplum and mermaid tail skirt, that makes this look too 80s couture more than anything contemporary. The lace of the dress looks exquisite and is accented by the light blue grosgrain belt. The finishing of the lace on her peplum and mermaid skirt could have been slightly more raw; as it is, it gives off a hint of grandmother’s doilies, exacerbated by that dreadful metallic rose (which is a direct lift off from the S/S 2024 J.P.Gaultier Haute Couture collection by Simon Rocha. The mermaid tail has a hidden hook and button that can be used to shorten it, by forming a small bustle at the lower part of the dress - you can see in some of the photos how the dress train looks shorter. The veil looks incredible and has a nice finishing with embroidered pearls on its hem, which should also make it stay put when layered over the doll and gown. Love the pearl decorated shoes that come with the gown, one of three pairs included with the set.

The second look is a corset and skirt cocktail dress, with a removable huge bow at the back. This is from the second inspiration of Jessy for this set, the True Royalty Vanessa Perrin set, with her corset and the overall colouring both of the dress (similar to the second outfit in that set) and of the doll (red hair and similar make up). I love this look the most, especially without the bow and my Vanessa will probably be wearing this on display (yes I did pre-order). I love how the bow can be made to look like a light bustle at the back, awesome. And yes, she gets a colour - coordinated bag and heels for it. Plus sunglasses too. The draping of the corset references the Poesie cocktail dress.

The third look is the classic lingerie look, in a light blue colour echoing the wedding gown belt. Both Poesie and True Royalty sets had lingerie included but I could do without it, almost none of my dolls are displayed in lingerie. The set is nicely detailed and has a pair of sling-backs decorated with a rose, and stockings to match, thankfully without garters (it is a pain to put those on on a doll). She even has the flat feet extra pair to walk barefoot wearing the lingerie. Overall it is an amazing set (flaws and all) with a very expensive tag on it, ouch! With that price, it should have had a different shoe box for every pair, not just the one. And remember - if you have Edge Vanessa Perrin (3.0 sculpt), she can wear these to bring it closer to Poesie!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, the final product may vary. Background and props are not included. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only. The doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

The third W Club doll is another Poppy - Return To Misty Hollows!

Just a few days before Christmas, W Club members got the email for the 3rd W Club Exclusive doll of the 2024 membership year, introducing "Return To Misty Hollows" Poppy Parker. Describing her as the sequel to "Welcome To Misty Hollows" Poppy Parker, it is a mini gift set. The storyline goes that Poppy Parker follows up her highly acclaimed role on the hit British TV Show "Misty Hollows" in a spinoff taking place in New Orleans.

Return To Misty Hollows

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll Mini Gift Set

The Poppy Parker® Collection

2024 W Club Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2025

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle And High-heeled Feet

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Dark Brown And Black Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $185 + S & H / Special W Club Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2024 W Club members only- 1 per membership ($50.00 NRD due now, $125.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2025)

The story:

Several years back, Poppy Parker's special guest star appearance on the hit British TV series "Misty Hollows" made such a strong impression that when the network decided to make an American spin-off version of the series set in New Orleans called "Return To Misty Hollows", the name that came to mind to play the lead was of course, none other than Miss Poppy Parker! Her sweet disposition and youthful beauty made her the perfect choice to play the "Is she or isn't she?" vampire-next-door character, a fan favorite of the whole series! - Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Chillingly adorable black mini-dress with white lace neckline and cuff embellishments, as well as luxe custom embroidery and beading detail;

• Purple shortalls;

• Edwardian-inspired white chiffon blouse with large blouson sleeves;

• Black pantyhose;

• Black pumps (for high-heeled foot lower legs, included);

• Tall shiny black buckle boots (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Black decorative hand mirror;

• Black clutch purse with buckle detail:

• Black ribbon choker necklace with black heart "stone" pendant set in "gold";

• Black "stone" earrings set in "gold";

• Matching black "stone" ring set in "gold";

• Black tie ribbon with magnetic white floral brooch;

• Pair of "Poppy Parker" hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicure hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I know people, particularly newer collectors, love having newer versions of older dolls, but it has started to get repetitive and, frankly, quite boring. If you do not have fresh ideas as a creative, maybe take a break and re-focus. Integrity is inching closer to Mattel territory, and it is not good for anyone, except maybe the owner’s wallet. And that is not a good thing for anyone in the long term. Even if one simply opens a fashion catalogue from the 60s and randomly selects a page, they can find an outfit that has not been done yet for this doll. Not to mention Vogue magazines from the era. So please, rethink this strategy IT.

Having said that, the doll here is wearing a dress inspired by two Oscar De La Renta outfits, from his 1968 Fall collection, here photographed by Irving Penn on Windsor Elliot and Lauren Hutton. for US Vogue’s September 1968 issue.

Somehow it does not look as majestic or romantic in its doll version, as it does in the original one. I think that if we got the second iteration, without the frills, it would have looked much better - but it would not be reminiscent of Misty Hollows. Which connects to my previous comments. The second outfit has a gorgeous blouse but I cannot say I am a fan of the overalls. Maybe she should have had some torreador pants, which would channel the dress embroidery. The boots are great, the bag is generic, nice choker and mirror. I love that the doll is the opposite of the Misty Hollows Poppy in colouring, but I would have preferred her with brown eyes and less garish make up.

Poppy goes disco: The 2nd W CLub doll for 2024 is Star Muse Poppy Parker!

The 2nd W Club Exclusive doll of the 2024 membership year was revealed to members at the end of August: "Star Muse" Poppy Parker, designed by David Buttry, exclusively for W Club members, arrives not long after the first club doll of the year. The surprise is that she’s not in her regular era style (either late 50s-early 60s or mod 60s), not even her Charlie Angels 70s style. But more on that later on. Let’s check out the doll first.

Item # 77256

The story:

Tension mounts on the set of Star Muse, a roller disco extravaganza staring young ingenue Poppy Parker, who has landed the lead role of a foxy professional roller skater who dreams about winning the Star Muse trophy, the top prize of the National Roller Disco Competition!

As the project started gaining traction, all of the attention our star was getting truly set off her frenemy; Ginger Gilroy; who was only cast in a secondary role!

Amid the turmoil, will Poppy’s fabulously colorful costumes and flashy new roller skates win everyone’s heart over? Can the two friends confront their differences and work through them to achieve their dreams of stardom and restore harmony? Of course they can and they will, it's easy; all they have to do is boogie! - Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Totally awesome look comprised of a short purple jumper with star embellishment and long sleeved multi-color holographic bodysuit;

• Sequined multi-color baseball jacket with arm stripe detail;

• Long vintage style socks with multi-color stripes;

• Holographic platform wedges (for high-heeled foot lower legs, included);

• Holographic roller skates with pink pom pom detail (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Clear pink roller skating bag with holographic handles and star charm;

• Beaded hair ribbon:

• Star earrings;

• "Jeweled" bracelet;

• Ring;

• Pair of "Poppy Parker" hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicure hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

As I mentioned above, Poppy is in a quite different era than we have seen so far. She’s veering towards end of the 70s/very early 80s era. She looks like a modern interpretation of Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu, ready to sing Magic while rolling around the club dancefloor. The hairstyle with the ribbon certainly alludes to that film, as well as the rollers and the general disco/bubblegum aesthetic. She also pulls from other stars of the era but has more modern influences as well. The star is a direct nod to the upgrade Ultraviolet Poppy. The screening is from Tears Go By.

The most surprising thing about this doll is the price point. She’s the same price as the When In Paris Poppy, but that one had two complete outfits, also both pairs of legs and many more accessories than this one. And it was only months ago, so inflation and other excuses don’t cut it. The roller skates are not that expensive online ($20-$30) so what’s up Integrity? The clothes are not even that detailed to make up for any part of the cost. If she had an additional dress similar to those worn in Xanadu by Olivia, she’d be perfect and much sought after. I am getting her, but only because of the Olivia connection (thin as it is) and nothing more. Below is the video of the rotating doll.

The 1st W Club exclusive doll for 2024 is Baby Blue Imogen Lennox!

As is the case for the last few years, the 1st W Club Exclusive doll of the 2024 membership year was revealed in the beginning of August, via e-mail to members. The doll is none other than Baby Blue Imogen Lennox, who has not been seen since 2017 and her Heirloom appearance. IT designer Jessy Ayala not only gives Imogen Lennox a new facial screening but also includes her pet kitten, Blue, in the mini gift set.

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2024 W Club members only- 1 per membership ($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $125.00 + S & H due in approximately Winter 2024).

The story:

In the heart of Paris, one NU. Face agency's top model and influencer; Imogen Lennox; is stepping back into the limelight with a fresh project: launching "Wonderland", a new makeup brand created in collaboration with W Cosmetics and inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland! The brand’s signature colour is baby blue, and Imogen is dressed by the stylists to embody its spirit with a touch of sparkle and flawless makeup to add some modernity to the campaign.

Accompanied by her playful kitten, Blue, Imogen prepared for the grand publicity campaign under the watchful eye of her new collaborator, Véronique Perrin. The studio had been transformed into a magical wonderland, filled with oversized tea cups and pastel lights.

As the photo shoot began, Imogen’s graceful poses and Blue’s spontaneous antics captured the enchanting essence of Wonderland. The resulting images were nothing short of magical, perfectly reflecting the brand’s dreamlike quality.

At the end of the day, Véronique and Imogen admired the stunning photos. “You and Blue brought Wonderland to life,” Véronique said, beaming with pride. Imogen smiled, holding baby Blue close. Just like the city outside buzzed with excitement, "Wonderland" was ready to enchant the world! - Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

• Playful mix-and-match look comprised of a low-slung mini skirt and matching crop top featuring flower sequins and "jeweled" spaghetti strap detail;

• Baby blue sleeveless chiffon top;

• Baby blue bra and panty set with delicate trim detail;

• "Fur" coat with pockets and matching satin lining;

• Removable baby blue neck bow with magnetic closure;

• Removable "silver" belt;

• Removable black belt:

• Gray knee-high boots with front "jewel" details (for high-heeled foot lower legs, included);

• White socks;

• Black Mary Janes (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• "Silver" handbag;

• "Silver" sunglasses;

• Blue and "jewelled" oval earrings;

• "Jewelled" circle earrings;

• "Silver" and blue bangle bracelets;

• "Silver" cuff bracelet;

• "Jeweled" bracelet;

• Blue ring;

• "Jewel" ring;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• New! Pet kitten named Blue;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Seeing Imogen as the first W Club doll of the year was a great and welcome surprise. Seeing her being so incredibly beautiful and smashing was even better. I love everything about her, from her new screening with the larger eyes, her awesome hairstyle (which reminds me of Sandy in Grease, if it took place ten years later) and her outfit. Consisting of a multitude of pieces, it not only looks cool and amazing, it also gives you many different combinations. The flower sequins look the same as those on the Hippie Dippy Poppy dress. Did I mention that the bow has a magnet for attaching it however and wherever you like? The chubby faux fur coat? The kitten (which is a very early prototype)? Jessy said he was inspired by Alice in Wonderland, hence the colours and the kitten and the Mary Janes. And it is the 60s through the 90s through now. The club sleuths quickly figured out the real fashion world outfit inspiration: Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2022. And how about her face? We can see echoes of the first ever Giselle (Costume Drama), the Style Lab Fashion Fairy-tale Tulabelle (wearing an Alice in Wonderland outfit), And from real people, she looks a lot like a young Cameron Diaz or even Florence Henderson (and yes Florence could pass as Cameron’s mum).

The accessories are also amazing. We get both high heeled and flat feet, to go with the thigh high boots and the Mary Jane shoes. The silver elongated bag is fantastic and looks inspired by the Miu Miu Arcadie bag. Love the round sunglasses. Plenty of jewellery to pile on, with many bracelets and two pairs of earrings, plus two rings. I could not press the pre-order button fast enough. I have loved Imogen from her very first appearance (and still kick myself for not getting that one but there were so many dolls released at the same time it was impossible), so it was a no-brainer. See below a video of the rotating doll. There was mention of the doll having retouched eyes in the photos and indeed they do look tampered with 0 but check the video to see her real eyes. I guess they did not look exactly as planned, even though they do look great in the video - to my eyes at least.
