Jason Wu Avant Garde Fashion Doll
It is the time of the twelvemonth over again for the Fashion Royalty convention. Information technology is the 6th Jason Wu event, taking place in Chicago, 1 of my favourite cities (and the only US one I take ever been to). Jason is jubilant the 10 years he has been in the style doll business and the concept of this convention is that iconic dolls and outfits of the past years will be re-washed in a fresh manner for this collection.
RE-Edition: LiveWire Clone, AvantGuards ane:6 Scale 12" Dressed Doll 
The transformation of Cistron into 12" dolls was apparently successful, so the next 16" line of Integrity received the same handling. The LiveWire Clone is a proficient looking miniaturization of the LiveWire AvantGuards doll in 12 inches. This mini model has captured every detail of the original, from the afro wig down to the embellished platform shoes. The sculpt is Natalia's and the body is from the Monogram line. I would love to get this one since I do not have the original AG Livewire doll and likewise whatever Monogram ones but it depends on the toll - and I already have a Natalia with this sculpt. I besides recall that the outfit does non translate well to this scale - the size of the sequins is enormous. The doll tin can wear the wigs from the Pompadour collection.
RE-Edition: Morning Dew, Giselle Diefendorf
Nu.Face's Giselle is wearing a beautiful re-interpretation of Véronique's Iconic lingerie from the outset collection.
RE-Edition: Evening Glow, Dominique Makéda
Dominique is the cousin of Adèle Makéda, who modeled the original lingerie set. Dominique'southward lingerie is an updated version of the black set up that her cousin wore.
RE-Edition: Diamond Society, Eugenia Perrin Frost
Eugenia has get a favourite character for many Fashion Royalty doll collectors. Eugenia pays tribute to her cousin in this updated version of Véronique's Silver Society fashion. Dressed in black from head to toe, Eugenia tin can go anywhere in this elegant fashion. The original Argent Guild Véronique is a very sought after doll and manner. Eugenia looks brilliant in this - both doll and outfit are exquisite.
RE-Edition: Luxe Life, Vanessa Perrin
Lush Life Véronique has been a holy grail of many Fashion Royalty doll collectors. This re-editioned version puts a totally modern spin on the gorgeous gown. Vanessa looks lovely and, together with Eugenia, make the best dolls of the convention drove.
RE-Edition: Poésie Enchantée, Agnes Von Weiss
With the Poésie Enchantée doll, Integrity mixes two collectors favourites: a re-invented Poésie Sans Couleur gown with event-exclusive character Baroness Agnes Von Weiss wearing an 1-shouldered embellished gown. She looks nifty and reminds me a lot of Dressing The Part Agnes.
Th was the first day of the convention. Excitement filled the air when each convention guest was given a Manner Royalty souvenir box as part of their registration swag. All were told that during each event they would receive a unlike component of a souvenir ready equally part of their table gifts. Past the end of the convention, each guest will have congenital their very own full Style Royalty convention gift fix (which is in addition to the main convention doll). Which Style Royalty character volition star in this set? We will have to expect and see. My guess is Veronique or Adele (depends on which ane will exist the convention doll).
Each guest found the start part of the gift set, a darling stake blue cocktail apparel, waiting for them equally they sat down to the starting time event. Did the gifts stop there? No! At that place was also an ITBE doll, named Chic, given out to each attendee at the convention.

The guest speaker for Thursday'south event was Mel Odom, who surprised everyone by unveiling another future manner in the Hollywood Royalty Factor collection (another 12" mini). No pictures were released of this Factor.
Friday was another jam packed twenty-four hours for guests at the convention. The Friday luncheon was dedicated to one of the latest line of Integrity dolls, Poppy Parker. The mod styled doll made multiple appearances at this upshot. Poppy was the centrepiece doll: The Center of Attention was presented during the Poppy Parker-themed lunch. And then, every conventioneer got to walk away with their very own Poppy Parker Countless Summer doll equally part of the event swag. A sneak peek photo for a futurity Poppy Parker Gift Prepare was likewise flashed beyond the screen for attendees to see.

The Design-A-Doll Studio, a new add-on to the schedule this year, was a huge hit! Convention invitee "designers" proudly showed off their creations and many gorgeous dolls captured the hearts of the attendees. This year, a Friday night dinner was added to the convention agenda. Guests were encouraged to dress in their wildest couture creations. The centrepiece doll was a FR Monogram doll and she looked very elegant. The FR Monogram series has go very popular with collectors and the centrepiece doll, called Curiosity, was no exception.

Convention guests were given the exclusive convention fashion, Successful Ascension, at this result as well. Black lace on a blood-red and black outfit - I love the bag. looks like accessories are returning to outfits.

The terminal 24-hour interval of the convention was another busy day, full of activities. Guests had workshops, the Museum, the Souvenir Store, the raffle room and the Design-A-Doll Studio to take in on this final 24-hour interval of the convention. Guests as well had the opportunity to view the incredible competition entries. Every attendee could vote for their favourite doll but had to look until the final evening's event to know which entry won. The W Club luncheon proved to exist, nonetheless again, i of the highlights of the convention. After the ballroom doors were opened, members were able to discover the AvantGuards Vanishing Point centrepiece doll. Guests were given a wig and shoe set up every bit a special gift for attention the event and the run a risk to buy the centrepiece doll as well.

There were a number of items on display during the lunch, including Fashion Fuel, the Due west Lodge exclusive AvantGuards fashion and a brand new Integrity Toys Direct Poppy Parker souvenir set up (the one that was sneak-peeked at Friday's luncheon). Data on pricing and when the gift set up will be released will be announced later; meanwhile here are a few photos for you lot.
Poppy Parker Gift Set
While some Poppy Parker dolls take withal to go far (the Reluctant Débutante more than won her name), Integrity releases fifty-fifty more new Poppies. So, among some other sneaks (including a Hashemite kingdom of jordan and a Natalia doll as Integrity Straight Exclusives), attendees were privy to some sneak peek photos of 3 new Poppy Parker dolls that are scheduled to arrive in Jan. Permit's hope that they are not as reluctant every bit some others are!
The Saturday night ballroom looked magical as guests entered to see that the centrepiece doll was another new star in the Integrity Toys line upwards...Dania Zarr in Optic Disharmonism. Every attendee wanted the chance to purchase this beauty - she looks neat in this colouring. Check doll number three as the best of the convention (forth with Eugenia and Vanessa). And she looks then YSL to me.

Not only did each table look incredible, but the final piece to the Fashion Royalty Gift Set was also waiting for each attendee. The character was none other than Natalia Fatalé! Natalia looked ravishing in her pale blue lingerie, her long, flowing mane of red and her fine porcelain complexion. The story goes that Natalia had been busy developing a skin lightening formula and decided to test the cream on herself (her assistant refused and was promptly fired, LOL). She looks groovy simply to me, the primary attraction to her is that she is a Latina daughter - take that abroad and you lot have one more Caucasian girl in the line, no pizazz (does anyone else see Cherry Johansson?). So while the experiment looks fine, could do without her.
This completed gift set is called Ability Game Natalia Fatalé and contains a complete mix-and-friction match set of fashions and accessories for every convention attendee.

So the moment all had been waiting for arrived. With thunderous adulation, Jason unveiled the exclusive Jason Wu Event VI convention doll....Elise Jolie in Blue Blood! This new grapheme has an important tie to Veronique's past. As the story goes, Elise is the daughter of Veronique'due south former finishing school instructor, Mademoiselle Jolie. This doll is a re-incarnation of the Voyages series, which explains the luggage. A corset-styled elevation is also included. She looks corking in these official photos.

And then with the convention doll presented, everyone remained with the question: where is Veronique? Her info at the Integrity folio says she will appear in 2010. And what almost Adele and Kyori? These three ladies are the base of the Fashion Royalty collection and story and should have made an appearance in its 10-year ceremony commemoration. But 2009 has non ended yet of form...
