I liked this line so much I ended up pre-ordering five of the dolls.Let's see the dolls:Įstimated Ship Date: Approximately Late August 2015Īvailable for Pre-order from Any Authorized Integrity Toys Dealer.The 2014 Gloss convention was my first Integrity Toys convention and I was entering the very first time for a doll design competition. Isha has not been in a normal collection for ages ( since 2011 if I remember correctly) and Tatyana was last seen being part of the final FR2 collection. Apart from characters picked from the core 8, the line up has Isha and Tatyana. The collection comes out along those lines, with elegant and minimal day-wear, very chic and with a retro whiff, that also includes some more eccentric evening wear. This year Jason Wu wanted the design team to start with the ladies who lunch as an inspiration: the rich socialites of the 60s that met in the famous restaurants of the era and were very elegantly and minimally dressed during the day but went all out flamboyant at night. The last line presented by Integrity Toys was none other than the battleship of the company, the Fashion Royalty line. I called it "As Dusk Falls" because I imagined my character as a "mysterious lady" - like that old time story about "Cinderella" - when she appears from almost twilight air and everybody looks at her mesmerized by her beauty." To make it look effortless and modern, I covered parts of the dress with mesh inserts. I chose to reconstruct a vintage looking bodice for my dress and combine it with the today's most popular red carpet "mermaid style" skirt. The competition theme was perfect for me, but I wanted to combine a classic vintage dress with modern edgy elements that even the future Fashion Royalty doll released 30 years from now could easily wear. "I love vintage era fashions and I think many fashion designers are looking to be inspired by it. That was an amazing feeling to receive such honor by winning in both categories, it's like falling in love for the first time - doesn't matter what your future holds, but you will always remember the first one." - Julia Leroy Since I had some experience in creating doll clothes, I knew I had chances to win but I would never think it actually could happen. The 2014 Gloss convention was my first Integrity Toys convention and I was entering the very first time for a doll design competition.
