The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part VII: The Fashion Royalty Luncheon

The Fashion Royalty luncheon was held on Friday, with a very special guest: Veronica Webb. One of the top models of the 90s (as much as I like her I would not use the term supermodel for her), she gave a nice interview to Carol Roth and after it posed with the attendees and had an autograph session too. Below is one of her 90s photos from French Vogue, in her signature quirky style...

...and here she is this year posing for the ad campaign of Sophie Theallet. She's still got it:

As in all events, there were two dolls featured, a centerpiece and a gift doll. Let's check them out.

Legendary

Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll

Friday Luncheon Table Centerpiece

The 2016 Integrity Toys SUPERMODEL Convention

Limited Edition of 350 Pieces Only

Once again a Versace outfit and once again from his bondage collection (the look-book of which I photocopied in colour back in the day, to keep). This was worn on the runway by Carla Bruni finished with a gorgeous parka...

...and in the look-book and ads by Christy Turlington

So Natalia is channelling either one of these two beauties.

She's stunning. I hope I can get her at one point.

Look at those shoes. And the jewellery is so very Versace.

Kyori Sato™ Dressed Doll

Friday Luncheon Exclusive Giveaway Doll

The 2016 Integrity Toys SUPERMODEL Convention

Limited Edition of 500 Dolls

Compared to Natalia, Kyori looks boring, although she is lovely. But she looks like the Dangerous To Know Kyori, which was the giveaway doll in the Premier convention back in 2013 with a more intricate hairdo and better dress.  This one is by Dolce and Gabbana, worn by the supermodels in their Vanity Fair photo shoot by Mario Testino, back in 2008:

The jewellery is Versace though, so the dress could be from him too.

The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part VI: The Poppy Parker Dinner

The welcome dinner of the first day at the Integrity Toys Supermodel convention turned out to be a Poppy Parker event, which is usually a luncheon on Friday or Saturday, due to scheduling changes. As in most events, this had two dolls featured: the centerpiece and the gift doll, both beautiful Poppies. David Buttry, the designer of Poppy Parker, talked about next year's line which will again be mod-themed.

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
Welcome Dinner Table Centerpiece
The 2016 Integrity Toys SUPERMODEL Convention
Limited Edition of 350 Pieces Only

This was the centerpiece doll. Very mod, gorgeous doll and outfit. The bangs are too heavy for me but otherwise she's fab.

Nice jewellery set but the shoes are boring - and no bag? Oh I forgot, convention dolls never have bags.

Item # PP110
Big Eyes
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
Poppy Parker Exclusive Giveaway Doll
The 2016 Integrity Toys SUPERMODEL Convention
Limited Edition of 500 Dolls

Channelling Twiggy, she looks a lot like She's Not There Poppy. This is the gift doll everyone got.

I'm not a fan of the dress but the rest is great - love the shoes.

The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part V: The Color Infusion Style Lab

One of the most eagerly anticipated collections in each Integrity Toys convention is the Style Lab Color Infusion lot. Composed of 12 fabulous dolls and 12 assorted outfits, the boys and girls of this year's Style Lab explore various 90's trends collectively called "Too Funky". It is Vaughn Sawyers' brainchild and his style shines throughout. You can see bits of many 90's trends in this collection and some of the looks are instantly recognisable. As always with the Style Lab, each doll and outfit is sold separately. Conventioneers can pick one outfit plus one doll for $80.00 + tax per combo. A total of six male figures and six female dolls make up the collection.

Pure Love (Fashion Only)

This one is a Spring/Summer 1992 Versace look, worn by Helena Christensen below in an Irving Penn photo:

I cannot say that the doll reminds me of a certain model but Nikki Taylor would be the nearest.

Item # 85122
Crazy Sexy Cool (Fashion Only)

This looks like Versace again but I cannot place it exactly. A Versus look perhaps. As for the model, Susan Holmes? Stephanie Seymour?

Laka O'Rion™ Nude Doll

Item # 85121
Poison (Fashion Only)

This one is instantly recognisable from the Autumn/Winter 1992 Versace collection, worn by Christy and Yasmeen Ghauri, who looks a lot like the doll here. Photo by Irving Penn for Versace. The boots are perfection.

The jacket though is from another collection (Autumn/Winter 1991) and what is printed in doll scale, was embroidered in the real thing.

Below is Nadège du Bospertus on the Versace runway with the jacket, from the Conde Nast Archives.

Tilda Brisby™ Nude Doll

Item # 85119
All That She Wants (Fashion Only )

This is Chanel. I cannot find the exact look but it could be from any year, the style is timeless. How about this Claudia Schiffer from the house's look-book in 1994?

As for the doll, she does not ring any bells - so who do you think she could be channeling?

Item # 85111
Blue Burkhart™ Nude Doll

Item # 85124
Give it Up (Fashion Only)

Most of you will recognize that this one is Jean Paul Gaultier, from the iconic pink corset that Madonna was wearing in many of her appearances back in the day. Even the pose is so Vogue. 

The total look seems to be a combination of older and more recent styles, like the one for L' Uomo Vogue below and her MDNA corset version total styling with the shirt.

As for the doll herself, Madonna or maybe Nadja Auermann.

The monocle look is of course from the Express Yourself video...

...and the Blonde Ambition Tour from the era.

Jaeme Costas™ Nude Doll

Item # 85123
Teen Spirit (Fashion Only)

This is the grunge homage. Perry Ellis by Marc Jacobs, circa 1992. The look, though is from 2012 and the LF Stores, a Los Angeles based clothing brand. The doll either Helena Christensen or Carla Bruni.

Item # 85113

Callum Windsor™ Nude Figure

Item # 85125

Whatta Man (Fashion Only)

This one would look great with shorter hair and another outfit. Which was generally the norm with guys in the 90s.

Item # 85114
Ollie Lawson™ Nude Figure

Item # 85130
Mr. Vain (Fashion Only)

This one could be Versace. Ollie still looks awful.

Definitely Versace. Love the penny loafers.

The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part IV: Nu Face and a certain Mademoiselle!

It would not have been a complete collection without any Nu Face dolls. And sure enough, there are two to fill in the spots. To complete the team, there was a sales room exclusive doll available, a lovely giftset with Mademoiselle Jolie.

Item # 91412
Kiss You in Paris
Mademoiselle Jolie™ Dressed Doll Gift Set
Sales Room Exclusive
The 2016 Integrity Toys SUPERMODEL Convention
Limited Edition of 500 Dolls

Doll Specs:
Head Sculpt: Isha / Mademoiselle Jolie
Body Type: FR2013
Skin Tone: Cream
Hair Color: Lux Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Anyone getting tired of giftsets with underwear as the bonus outfit? I know I am. I'd much rather have her with a second outfit. As for her faux leather dress, it looks like Thierry Mugler again. or Saint Laurent? As for la Jolie, she reminds me a bit of Nadja Auermann. The doll's name is a reference to the lyric from Madonna's "Justify My Love" (I want to kiss you in Paris) so it should be her. Cannot find a dress like this worn by Madonna though.

Lilith™ / NU. Face Dressed Doll

Doll Specs:
Head Sculpt: Lilith / Eden
Body Type: NU. Face 2.0
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Brunette
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Quickswitch: No

This looks like Chanel Haute Couture again, this time from Spring Summer 2013, check it out below on Rita Ora. Love the boots, they look a lot like the ones my friend Maria of Habilis Dolls is making.

 As for the model? Stella Tennant? Christy? Stephanie? Conside me confused.

Imogen™ / NU. Face Dressed Doll

Limited Edition of 500 Dolls

Doll Specs:
Head Sculpt: Imogen
Body Type: NU. Face 2.0
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Quickswitch: No

She looks a lot like the upgrade Imogen we got at the beginning of the year, this time in a lighter skin tone. Must say that the side glance worries me a bit, I saw one photo on line where one eye looked upwards! Gorgeous dress and make up. Again I am stumped as to which model she could be. Heidi Klum maybe?

 And the outfit is Chanel Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2015, worn on the runway by Fei Fei Sun.

The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part III - The Convention Poppy Parker and IT Direct sales room exclusives

There were two sales room exclusive dolls presented along with the Integrity Toys convention collection: a Mademoiselle Jolie gift set (see the next post) and a Poppy Parker IT Direct exclusive. This last one is the second Poppy in the FR Black skin tone like Midas Touch. There was also another Poppy in the collection, as a supermodel from the 60s.

She looks amazing - the doll, the outfit, the accessories are all gorgeous. And she so reminds me of Jean Shrimpton.

Look at that bag!

Doll Specs:
Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker
Body Type: Poppy Parker
Skin Tone: FR Black
Hair Color: Black
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Quickswitch: No

Even though she is lovely, she does not click with me. Compared to the other Poppy, this one looks plain and boring, despite the rare skin tone. She could play in Masters Of Sex though.

I think the lipstick should have been either pale or red. The strong pink with the yellow throws the whole thing off. Bag and shoes are amazing.
