The outfit of the collection is a very Versace inspired look, with the straps and golden accents and cut outs reminiscent of the brand’s 90’s bondage collection. This will look gorgeous on any doll and I like that by removing the skirt you get a swimsuit that also comes with a bath robe. I wish they stopped using filters on their photos - it makes them kind of blurry, which is not what one wants when looking for the details of a product for sale. Also, anyone who already has a GMColl body, please let us know about the marks that appear near the elbow joint on both upper arms and lower arms. They look like the breakout spots of 3d printing supports and appear on all dolls shown in the collection. I already placed my order for this.

Menthe Reverie Lucia Diaz doll GMColl

Second appearance of Lucia, who was again a lottery a while ago in her debut as a brunette. Now she’s gone blonde and wearing a variation of the MTO outfit we saw before. If I had not won (and paid already!) the first Lucia, I would probably enter for this one.

Rosie Escaped Azealia Akech doll GMColl

Azealia is one of the two older sculpts from GMColl that I always wanted to get and now is a good opportunity - she’s breathtaking! Her dress is shorter than the one worn by Lucia, hence the slightly cheaper price. The design with the patch pockets is interesting when with the skirt, but it looks weird as a swimsuit. It seems like all dolls have the same bad in different colours, not a very creative choice. The bathrobe is matching the outfit colour here. Fingers crossed!

*** Lavande Serenade Allegra Orsini is $10 cheaper than Azelia and Lucia in this collection since she has a one piece swimsuit instead of two. Since the fashion was cheaper to make, we decided to reflect that difference to you collectors.

Lavande Serenade Allegra Orsini doll GMColl

Allegra Orsini is the other old sculpt from GMColl that I always wanted to add to my collection, but the prices on the secondary market are too high. So again, here’s a great opportunity to add her, if I win at the lottery. She is wearing a one piece swimsuit under her skirt. Her screening is new and looks amazing on her. She has a matching bathrobe to her outfit, like Azealia, which is great.

GMColl Studio released their first ever made-to-order doll: Celebration Allegra Orsini

GMColl Studio is the project of two very talented and creative people: Gloria and Bertan. Gloria is well know in the fashion doll world with her OOAK briliant work and she teamed up with Bertan to create and run GMColl Studio, a new line of fashion dolls that had already caused quite a commotion as limited run offers of only heads and fashion sets before the label launched. It now has a member club and the members get first dibs at new releases. I was lucky to become a member and now I got the chance to preorder their first made-to-order release (the previous releases so far were lottery dolls for which I did not participate): Celebration Allegra Orsini.

THE STORY

As Allegra stepped onto the red carpet of the agency’s opening celebration, the flashing lights suddenly pulled her back — To the day she shot Faces of Today with the girls. Just as she was about to leave the studio, a quiet commotion turned her attention. Standing there—commanding, unmistakable—was Davinia Orsini. A legend. The head of the Orsini family. The force behind a fashion empire. “I’ve been thinking about starting a modeling agency,” Davinia said, her voice calm yet electric. “I heard you were shooting today… I wanted to see my baby—and the girls—for myself.” Then, with a smile full of certainty: “You were absolutely wonderful, cuore mio. I think it’s time to make this real. You girls are going to become the talk of everyone. It’s time to bring the era of supermodels back to the present.” The sound of cameras snapped Allegra back to now. And in that moment, she understood — The Faces of Today are destined to shape the agency of tomorrow.*

As I mentioned in the first paragraph, I waited a bit to get my first GMColl Studio doll. It is not that the previous members-only releases were not beautiful, it is just that they were not to my taste exactly. So I bid my time and here she is. She’s a new sculpt for Allegra (the original, a gorgeous Donatella lookalike is this one), which does not mean that the old one is retired. I will risk a guess and say that the old one might be used as her mother, as it looks more mature and chiselled than this new iteration. She has a lovely neutral screening, beautiful brunette hair and she looks fab. Her gown follows her screening colour scheme and it looks nice without it being a revelation - I do notice the zipper (good) is a bit large for the scale (bad). Her matching shoes have bows at the back and I love it. Her bag is made of the same material as the dress, so it is a total monochromatic look. And the price is amazing. Cannot wait to receive her!
