Step into the world of fashion and luxury with Curated, an exclusive event organized by Integrity Toys, celebrating the grand return to in-person convention exhibitions after the 2019 pandemic. This significant event took place on July 14 in the US capital, Washington. Visitors were treated to an exclusive and carefully thought-out exhibition of collectible dolls, which consisted of two halls. The first is an exhibition gallery where each doll was presented as a priceless exhibit in its own clear glass case, giving each doll a sense of exclusivity and value. After viewing the gallery, visitors were treated to a second location nearby, which provided an opportunity to indulge in great shopping, socialize together, enjoy great snacks and refreshing drinks, strengthening bonds and creating unforgettable memories.
Classically Surreal, Isha Kalpana Narayanan
The first doll to grace the exhibition was the gorgeous Isha from Fashion Royalty, whose return was much anticipated. She oozes elegance in a stunning white dress embellished with gold denim inserts on the front, echoing the spirit of Schiaparelli's Spring 2022 collection. Completing her ensemble, Isha wears a headband with rabbit ears, reminiscent of the 1940s style and the iconic look of Josephine Baker. Her accessories include dainty gold gloves, a white bag embellished with gold embroidery that perfectly matches the dress, adorable white shoes embellished with gold straps, and adorable gold jewelry. Notably, her eye-catching bracelet pays homage to Schiaparelli's artistic style while also drawing a hint of Greek inspiration. To keep the retro 1940s vibe alive, Isha wears fishnet stockings for a touch of timeless glamour.
As a souvenir doll of the event, it was kindly gifted to all visitors as part of the price of the entrance ticket, guaranteeing an eternal memory of this wonderful event.
Mixed Media, Thiago Valente
Next we have the evil Nu. Face Tiago, a masculine and very unexpected addition to the Nu line. Face. A transparent light coat decorated with roses, although reminiscent of previous IT works, radiates its own unique charm. The Jacquemus-inspired shirt has the same charm, but falls a little short due to its stiffness. The visible ribbon on the underwear adds looseness to the doll, but not everyone will like it. That said, the color palette is certainly attractive, although the green bag clearly seems out of place with the overall outfit, lacking the same level of sophistication. But in general, an unexpected and extraordinary doll will definitely appeal to many.
Behind The Curtain, Zuri Okoty
The Meteor line is represented by the stunning Zuri, whose magical presence commands everyone's attention. While the hairstyle may not be to everyone's taste, her thick tresses feel effortless and Zuri's overall look paired with her flawless outfit is truly breathtaking. Her ensemble offers many style options, from a chic mini dress to a grand ball gown. The pattern exudes unmistakable 1980s style, reminiscent of the work of fashion icon Stephen Sprouse. Zuri's presence undoubtedly inspires awe.
Silver Cloud, Poppy Parker
Although Poppy has recently been the most popular doll from Integrity Toys, it is impossible to imagine a convention without her presence. This time, Poppy, inspired by the charismatic Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol's iconic muse, perfectly embodies the spirit of the Curated concept. This incarnation of Poppy with her short hair is a departure from the typical look and is clearly inspired by Twiggy, offering a fresh look and interesting portrait. The inclusion of the This is Art bag adds a whimsical touch, further strengthening the connection to Edie Sedgwick and her artistic legacy.
Modern Renaissance, Binna Park
Undoubtedly, the star of the collection and the event is the magnificent Ayumi 2.0 sculpture, which makes a triumphant return, radiating pure beauty. Flawless hair and make-up complete her stunning look, reminiscent of her current incarnation. The stunning gown draws inspiration from Schiaparelli's iconic style, borrowing elements from the Spring 2022 RTW gown and color influences from the Couture Fall 2021 collection. Ayumi accessorizes with gold bracelets that exude an air of elegance. Notably, the gilded fingers and silver nails pay homage to Schiaparelli's artistic legacy. It is hard to resist the charm of this unusual doll. The color variation of this charming ensemble in the blue and black color scheme of the original dress is enchanting.
The long-awaited event for fans
"Curated" was an unusual event that left a lasting impression on everyone who was lucky enough to attend. The long-awaited return of Integrity Toys to in-person encounters with this exclusive collection has sparked a sense of excitement and anticipation that has built up in the world of doll collectors and enthusiasts for years. This event was eagerly awaited. The convention and the presentation of the dolls itself was long-awaited and highly desired by the fans, and the expectations were fully realized. Each doll has its own unique charm and clearly alludes to inspired images from the past, fulfilling long-standing dreams and wishes of visitors. It was a momentous event that exceeded all expectations, a true celebration of artistry, creativity and an enduring passion for exquisite dolls.
Intergity Toys has traditionally not announced sales of new convention dolls, but it has been mentioned that there will be color variations of the new collection for W-Club members. All dolls are limited editions of 600 and, as usual, were sold at the convention itself, which adds to the exclusivity and desirability of each one.
