The London Look Poppy Parker Collection has been revealed!

We usually get a Poppy Parker collection around this time of the year lately and Integrity Toys did the unveiling of the much anticipated new mod collection, named The London Look. We had our first taste of this collection with the W Club registration Poppy and here we are getting five more Poppy Parker Collection dolls (in four offerings), all created by Integrity Toys designer, David Buttry. The overall concept is that Poppy and her friends travel to swinging London to shop for the trendiest looks at the hippest boutiques. We get three Poppy dolls, one Darla and one Ginger.

The Story:

Poppy Parker had been working hard in London. After a series of successful meetings at the "Poppy Gear" head offices, she was beyond ready to meet up with the girls to grab lunch and do some shopping! Ginger had really been on her case to up her style with some hip London looks. The first stop? Well, of course they had to hit up "The Queen's English", the boutique everyone was talking about. While Poppy had no problem finding the perfect mini dress that was up to Ginger's high standards, the staff and all the other shoppers "oohed" and "aahed" when she entered wearing her fabulous red and blue fashion! -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Groovy short red cotton twill jumper with button detail and removable belt;

• Red and white pinstripe shirt with collar;

• Royal blue neck tie;

• Royal blue twill cape with red collar and trim;

• Royal blue and red twill mod cap;

• Red handbag with royal blue trim, handles and buckles;

• Bullseye brooch;

• Royal blue "patent leather" knee-high boots (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Royal blue "patent leather" kitten heels (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Alternate pair of high-heeled foot lower legs;

• Royal blue and red custom printed A-line mini dress with bow detail at neck;

• Royal blue pantyhose;

• Round red frame sunglasses;

• Button earrings;

• Ring;

• Mod shopping bag;

• Mod shoe box;

• Poppy branded clothes hanger;

• Royal blue and red painted gloved hands;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

The mod collections are usually the most popular between Poppy Parker collectors, and this one looks like it is no exception. First up we have a blonde, short-haired Poppy, using a very recent screening (Glamorous Pink, which I do not have). There was no boutique with that name in London back then and I wonder if they would have allowed such a title for a store front sign. She’s a perfect fit for the mod look and we get two outfits plus loads of accessories and an extra pair of high-heeled legs. Despite the short hair, the screening does not make her look like Twiggy (like She’s Not There), but she’s a bit more mature looking. David’s print reminds me of Rudi Gernreich’s work. Glad I was confirmed by my dealer.

The Story:

No matter where Poppy Parker traveled, she always wanted her best friend Darla Daley close by. And Darla was certainly not going to turn down a chance to go to London again! She really wanted to be there for Poppy, since she knew how important the "Poppy Gear" meetings were to her. But during all that sight-seeing on her last trip, she found the best boutique and couldn't wait to go back. So, when all the work was finished and it was time to play, Darla made sure they got to swing by "Smashing Time" and shop around. She found a dazzling light gold mini dress and even Ginger approved! -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Darling light turquoise and orange trimmed mini dress with removable orange "patent leather" belt with buckle;

• Two-toned orange textured day coat;

• Orange hair bow;

• Orange pantyhose;

• Orange "patent leather" shoes (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Metallic "leather" golden kitten heels (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Alternate pair of high-heeled foot lower legs;

• Orange "patent leather" handbag with buckle detail and chain handle;

• Large round orange frame sunglasses;

• Shimmery light gold mini dress with cut-out details;

• Gold fishnet stockings;

• Golden drop earrings with orange fill;

• Two orange bangle bracelets;

• Mod shopping bag;

• Mod shoe box;

• Poppy branded clothes hanger;

• Orange painted gloved hands;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I love Darla but I wish they would give her more extravagant hair styles instead of fluffed up pony tails. She has a gorgeous outfit, with that textured coat and lovely matching dress and belt, plus a golden mini dress that fits her singing career. That dress looks like what Jolie James was wearing in her first appearance back in 2014 (that one had a trim at the edges though and it was probably by an YSL original). Her accessories are fantastic (all dolls have the Poppy clothes hanger, a shopping bag and a shoe box plus the extra high heeled feet) and the bag and earring are especially brilliant. Hope I win her in the lottery.

The Story:

Wherever Poppy Parker and her friends went in London, the word spread quickly. Paparazzi and hordes of onlookers would gather, trying to take a quick snapshot or even just simply catch a glimpse of them. Poppy knew that these scenes would definitely hit the papers, so she just had to switch up her look, even while she was out shopping! She was able to quickly duck back into London's grooviest salon, Viv Vassoon, and get a complete make-over, switch up her outfit and continue her shopping extravaganza at "Mad Mad Mod" without missing a beat! And, of course, Ginger was on hand to make sure that everything went according to plan. -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Far-out multi-color custom print A-line mini dress;

• Hot pink "fur" coat with black collar and pockets with silver horsebit detail;

• Black pantyhose;

• Black purse with square grip;

• Black "patent leather" boots (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Black "patent leather" ballet flats with bow detail (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Alternate pair of high-heeled foot lower legs;

• Large black sunglasses;

• Black and white drop-waisted window pane printed mini dress with a large white pointed peter pan collar and attached self belt with large "silver" buckle;

• White drop hoop earrings;

• Black and white bangle bracelets;

• Mod shopping bag;

• Mod shoe box;

• Poppy branded clothes hanger;

• Black painted gloved hands;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Having played Twiggy a couple of times, it is now Peggy Moffit’s turn to be impersonated by Poppy Parker. And she does a pretty good job at it, even though it is the overall styling, outfits et al, that help cement the impression. I love her and will enter the lottery for her hoping to win but I wish she would have had a more pronounced make up, like Peggy did in most of her photos back then, and also a better trimmed five-point haircut, like the one Vidal Sassoon did on her. David said that this is one of the rare dolls he goes out of the usual route and I say go all the way instead of stopping at half point. Love the pattern of the first dress, designed by David and custom printed for the production, but also adore the window pane check dress with the peter pan collar. The faux fur coat is gorgeous in that shocking pink as is the square-handled bag she sports. Fab fab doll. Finger crossed I win the lotterly.

The Story:

While Poppy was tied up in morning business meetings, Ginger Gilroy got to hit the town and do a little shopping of her own at her favorite boutique, "Too Much!" She was going to meet back up with Poppy at the offices before they headed off together for a fancy lunch at one of the hottest spots in London. Ginger walked in, shopping bags in hand, to Poppy Parker panicking because she forgot to bring a different outfit suitable for the restaurant's dress code. "Ginger to the rescue!" she exclaimed, pulling out an adorable pink mini dress from her shopping bag. Poppy threw her arms around her and said "I owe you big!" but Ginger could still feel Poppy shaking. So, to calm her down as she got ready, she pulled out a transistor radio, played some music from the hottest new London bands and snapped a few photos of Poppy in her newest London look, you know, just in case she needed them for that IOU in the future... -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Poppy's Look:

• Sweet pink mini dress with floral printed short puffed sleeves and attached light blue ribbon belt;

• Matching floral printed head scarf;

• Matching floral printed train case;

• White fishnet tights;

• Matching striped newsboy cap;

• Lime green frame sunglasses;

• Lime green "patent leather" purse with chain strap;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Yellow and chrome camera;

• Pink transistor radio accessory;

• Mod shopping bag;

• Poppy branded clothes hanger;

• Two doll stands;

• Certificate of authenticity.

A two-doll gift set is nothing new for the Poppy Parker collection and here we get another one, with Ginger and Poppy hitting the fashionable Carnaby Street in swinging London, Ginger in a pant suit looks quite different from her usual styles and I love her colour combo (Poppy had that comb in inverse in her & Darla’s gift set as uni girls). Poppy has a dollybird styled look, which I am not a fan of at all, although the doll herself is quite beautiful and has brown eyes. The price is a little higher than what we got before for two doll Poppy sets. I am not entering for this one. Would love to have that green top of Ginger’s though.

Neutral Code: Poppy Parker goes mod once more!

We got a mini collection of Poppy Parker dolls this year - and, as we already knew, it is inspired by the Mod era. The concept is that Poppy travels from New York to London for the opening of avant-garde artist Riley Ridget's latest "Op Art" installation. Designed by David Buttry, it is the first ever Poppy Parker collection completely in black and white. Two dolls are lottery through the W Club and the others are sold through dealers.

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Edition Size: 1500

Expected Ship Date: Late Winter/Spring 2024

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle And High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Platinum

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Famed Op Art creator Riley Ridget personally invited Poppy Parker and her friends to attend her next big optical art show in London... Such a genius always recognizes that while the art itself is important, having the "right" crowd at the opening doesn't hurt one's reputation in the art world! Everyone's favourite fashion model, Poppy Parker, knows this and she is more than happy to groove her way into the "IT" crowd and set the tone for what is sure to become one of the 1960s most memorable art moments!

Included:

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

• "A-line" houndstooth coat dress with ¾ bell sleeves;

• Matching hat;

• Black tights;

• High-heeled ankle booties with contrasting houndstooth detail and working zip (designed to fit the high-heeled lower legs, also included);

• Black and white handbag with shoulder strap and chrome beading detail;

• Oversized sunglasses;

• Newly developed earrings and matching ring;

• Cuff bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate gloved hands (with separate opera-length gauntlets);

• Bonus! Pair of alternate articulated ankle lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I love this one - the smoky eye combined with pale lips is always a winner for me and the pied-de-poule (or hounds-tooth) pattern always a favourite.She fully embodies the concept. She will look great next to The Girl from I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. Poppy from 2014, which would fit perfectly in this collection too. She has the Hold That Tiger screening. The closest I could get researching the inspiration is this 1966 Geoffrey Beene outfit.

The Story:

Poppy Parker has heard the call and has agreed to make an appearance at one of London's most highly anticipated art shows of the decade! Ready to jet in style from New York to London on the Concord, our girl Poppy makes a totally MOD fashion statement in black and white, ready for hours of fashionable fun ahead!

Included:

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

• High-contrast, black and white "uniform" style one-piece dress;

• White fishnets;

• Knee-high boots (designed to fit the articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Certificate of authenticity.

Not feeling this one. And the main reason is that she reminds me a lot of the British Invasion Poppy from the Swinging London collection in 2017, which I already own. Then, it is the lip colour that does not seem to go with her hair colouring at all. She has darker hair than BI. Also their hats are identical - only BI’s is white.  So I skipped entering the lottery for this one. The inspiration is from a 2013 outfit from Fay Spring Summer collection, which of course was inspired by similar mod era dresses.

Her hair and make up are fitting for the era and outfit, making her look a million bucks. Welcome again Miss Jolie James.

Stay Tuned Day 4: Poppy Parker does Mary Tyler Moore - Miss Independence

The penultimate day of the Integrity Toys online event “Stay tuned (replacing the convention for 2022) brought W Club members another lottery opportunity for a doll. Again the doll is Poppy Parker, the third of this event if you count the one offered during the event announcement back in August. Did we need one more Poppy? Especially in a year that had a full Poppy collection offered to everyone? I’d say no. I know that miss PP has become the company cash cow but Integrity is not only Poppy Parker. We want our NU Face and Fashion Royalty dolls too.

The new Poppy is called "Miss Independence" and is obviously inspired by Marlo Thomas and her TV series “That Girl”.

The Story:

Everyone's favourite teen fashion model Poppy Parker is the next "IT" girl to keep an eye on! Cast in a '60s sitcom designed to showcase her wonderful personality, follow her in the hilarious and oh-so-fashionable adventures of a young aspiring actress who moves to the Big Apple, dreaming of making it big in the acting business, while doing her very best to lead an exciting life, as she navigates the challenges faced by any independent woman wanting to have it all!

Included:

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

• Two-piece micro houndstooth ensemble composed of a dress and a long sleeve jacket with bold, bright red contrasting stripes and oversized buttons;

• Oversized, wide-brimmed bowler hat with contrasting navy blue ribbon accent;

• Navy blue stockings;

• Kitten heel shoes;

• Navy blue purse with micro chain strap;

• Red sunglasses;

• Red bangle bracelet;

• Golden bangle bracelet;

• Navy blue bangle bracelet;

• Red cloisonné earrings;

• Magnetic daisy-shaped broach;

• Pair of "Poppy Parker" hands;

• Alternate pair of "gloved" hands;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

So here is Miss Independence: a cute Poppy, a Marlo Thomas lookalike - which is good. She does have a look that harks back to the early Poppy dolls, both because of her overall styling and her outfit. Pity that she also reminds me a lot of Pretty Bird Poppy. If she had the blue and red suit Marlo Thomas is wearing in the series opening credits, she’d be more desirable. And the hat is an old staple of Poppy, I must have at least five or six in various colours. Painted hands instead of the glove hand sculpt? High heeled extra pair of feet without shoes to match? Her screening is almost the same with Sparkling Sunset. Cute but not gorgeous, for me at least.

The London Fashion Doll Festival 2019 was amazing - and I was there to experience it!

My second ever fashion doll convention, the London Fashion Doll Festival 2019, was held on the weekend of 8-9 June in London, at the lovely V&A Museum Of Childhood in Bethnal Green, London. I had promised the organisers that I’d join them in this second time of the convention being held, so there I was! The event took place over two days in the Summerly Room Of The museum, plus an adjoining smaller room for the workshop. 

The V&A Museum of Childhood in London

The Summerly Room

A banner at the convention area

Everyone registered upon entry, with an easy scan of our ticket. We were given our goody bags according to our registration level (with or without the exclusive Superdoll convention doll). As I found out, the bag had loads of lovely gifts!  Check them out below.

The tables were set for eight persons and mine was named Carnaby Girl. I had the honour of being in the same table with Desmond Lingard (from Superdoll), Izzy Parker with her husband Ian, Christina Paul (who runs the Doll Club Of Great Britain website) and of course, from the organisers, Simon Farnworth, his husband Carl and Kim London. What an amazing company to be with! The tables had a folder with two lovely sketches inside by Navdeep Sikand, creator of the lovely Anouk dolls...

...who also offered ten of them for centerpieces on each table! They were raffled off to the attendees near the end of the day, Izzy won ours. The dress and bags are made by Ineke Hintz. The gorgeous base was given along with the doll. If enough requests are made, LFDF will be able to have some for sale. 

Our centerpiece doll! There were blonde and raven versions of the doll.

Everyone else at the table got a small gift as well - i won the miniature chess you see below in the round box. I was lucky enough to receive some lovely gifts from my table mates too - Kim gave me the tea set (donated by her), Carl the amazing jewellery set (by Alla Dolgaleva Rapoport), Sofia the miniature Barbies and the wonderful Thomas Bartholomew Maffei, who came all the way from the USA, gave me the Sparkle Girl outfits!

Izzy had a gorgeous doll with her, the fantastic Glory resin Sybarite from the Los Angeles Convention earlier this year (above) , while Desmond had with him the 12” House Of Zenith Avenue, introduced earlier this year. She’s not wearing her original fashion and looked better IRL than in photos I had seen (below).

Soon enough, it was time for the workshops to begin. I had registered for both, so my schedule was full! First one was the Face Up workshop by Claudio Coronado, who was introduced by Simon Farnworth. 

Claudio was very thorough in showing us the steps in how to begin painting a doll’s face. A slideshow helped him show the detailed work he does. 

We got a great list of all the steps to follow when painting a doll face and helped us understand it is no easy task. Which is why you see the “before” photo of the doll head I had to paint, but not the “after”! 

The artist at work. This magnifying glass type is perfect for detailed work, I must get one.

After the end of the workshop, I had the chance to photograph the dolls on display. The Carnaby themed set up was beautiful.

The items that were going to be raffled off the next day, to support a great cause, the Children With Cancer UK charity, we’re also on display. See the slideshow below. I should also mention that there is an ebay auction with exclusive OOAK creations (dolls or outfits) for LFDF 2019, to benefit the same charity, that ends on the 22nd of June 2019, so go to this link to check the offerings and bid!

If you love Sybarites, you know Desmond is an incredibly talented photographer as well. Some of his magnificent prints were on display and for sale.

There was a small exhibition of 60s dolls as well, check them out below in the slideshow.

Emperis Dolls had a beautiful display as well and I got to meet the lovely Marcus and William who make them. They had both their new 12” dolls and their 16” ones on display and for sale. Some amazing OOAK dolls were there too, check out Cher in the slideshow below. The guys told me they almost sold out during the day.

Then it was time for the second workshop of the day: Sofia Kalaitzidi from Microsonik London showed us how to make a flower wig. These were very popular during the 60s in editorials and covers of fashion magazines. Elizabeth Taylor and members of the British Royal family were sporting them often in events.

Here are the materials Sofia gave us for the wig plus a prepared base for us to work on.

I managed to go as far as you can see below during the workshop (I’m hopeless with a needle). Some just threaded the larger flowers through the base as they had long wire stems, so no sewing needed, but I wanted a more delicate effect. Will try and finish it home!

And here I am next to the lovely Francesco from Fred-Dolls at the workshop - we had so much fun!

After the workshop ended, it was time for afternoon tea! A proper British tea, with everything necessary - tea, scones, clotted cream, jam, milk, sandwiches, sugar, macaroons and other treats! It was delectable.

During tea time, members of the organising team (l to r: dear Ismail, Simon and Claudio) presented the people dressed in sixties or sixties inspired clothes.

The t-shirts worn by the organisers ate the official convention shirt and all attendees got one!

there were eight of them, all lovely and dapper in mod outfits…

…and the winner was Olga, who was the most popular - people voted for their favourite contestant by giving them their raffle ticket!

Near the end of the day, it was time for the most anticipated reveal: Desmond unveiled the exclusive convention Sybarite doll!

Her name is Dejah and she is the last Generation X Sybarite doll to be released! The edition is 30 dolls and there are two more available at the LFDF site - hurry up!

You can see my doll below, as I opened the box right after the presentation. The last photo is the official one from Superdoll. She’s like a Motown singer from a girl group the 60s or a Northern Soul singer on a tour in Britain in the late 60s..

And here I am with dear Desmond - this one is for you Shazam Paname! Charles was in China, supervising doll production in the factory.

This was the first day of the London Fashion Doll Festival, full of wonderful people sharing our doll passion, making beautiful memories and seeing so many gorgeous dolls. Next up, the Salesroom day.

The 2nd London Fashion Doll Festival is being held this weekend at the V&A Museum Of Childhood!

The second edition of the London Fashion Doll Festival will be taking place this coming weekend at the Victoria & Albert Museum Of Childhood, in Bethnal Green, London. After the success of last year’s first edition, the organisers are making this one even better and enriched with lots of activities. And guess what? I’m attending this year! So those of you not being able to attend will get to see lots of photos and read all the juicy stuff after I return.

This year, the theme is Carnaby: the Swinging London fashion era, with Twiggy, Mary Quant, Jean Shrimpton, Carnaby Street fashions, mods  and so much more as inspiration! You can see the program for the two-day event below. Access on Saturday is only for registered attendees, while the Sunday salesroom can be accessed by the public via tickets bought either online or on site. 

As you can see in the program, there are two workshops, one for making a flower wig and a second for doll face enhancement, which is already sold out. 

Just like last year, the incredible Superdoll Collectables London people are making an event exclusive doll, a LE of 30, which will be revealed at the event. It will probably be one of the last vinyl Sybarites. I have already reserved mine and can’t wait to see her!

The salesroom is full of amazing dolls and doll stuff:

There are some competitions and even non-attendees can join! Take a look here: 

The V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green, London is once again serving as the venue for the second convention.  The MOC is the UK’s National Museum of Childhood. It is the largest institution of its kind in the world. Its mission is to hold in trust the nation’s childhood collections and to be an international leader in engaging audiences in the material culture and experiences of childhood.

This year LFDF decided to support the Children With Cancer UK charity. They are doing this via an eBay OOAK doll auction and a raffle which will take place during the Sunday Salesroom. Last year LFDF raised almost £14,000 for the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital Charity.

See you in London!
