Most, if not all of us, will remember 2020 as the year of COVID. Happily though, there are also events and anniversaries to observe and celebrate, making it easier to go through it all. So, apart from this being the 25th anniversary of the company, this autumn marks another great milestone for Integrity Toys: Its long time partner and collaborator, designer Jason Wu, is celebrating his 20th anniversary with them. Most Integrity Toys collectors know that Jason started designing some of the existing company dolls before he became the designer behind brands such as Fashion Royalty, NU. Face and FR Homme. He was also an integral part of many other brands and licensed dolls such as Poppy Parker, that he helped develop in concert with the design team.
For this reason, Integrity Toys is releasing a series of commemorative dolls created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Integrity Toys and Jason Wu. The first release is a pair of dolls that celebrates the creative collaboration between Jason Wu and Poppy Parker, one of the many successful brands that Jason helped create and define during the course of his career: two color variations of the "Anniversary Kiss" Poppy Parker™ doll

An obvious hommage to Bergdorf Goodman Poppy Parker (which technically was not a Poppy Parker doll, at least not named), this pair is quite a nice change from the barrage of Elyse anniversary dolls Jason did last time he was celebrating a milestone.. Jason loves polka dots so it is not wonder they appeared here, transforming the look of the original dress into something more pop and with a slight retro feel. The coat is almost manly, like she borrowed it from her boyfriend to fend off a sudden chill. The accessories are, as is the norm with Jason Wu releases, quite minimal, but they match this look well. The shopping bags are a nice addition, also like the one that the Bergdorf doll had. It would have been more interesting if the dresses were contrasting - one white, one black, but the production costs would be much higher. I am going for the blonde as she is more like BG Poppy as blonde and can only afford one of the pair, if I win. Fingers crossed!
