2017 Fashion Royalty Collection Revealed!!
Yep…you see it in the logo above, this years collection is about the woman. As an added treat for collectors, Integrity Toys gave Jessy Ayala the drivers seat in this years FR collection. The theme seems to have been set with the initial WClub offering earlier this year of Riviera Drama Agnes. While Jessy may be taking the theme of bold colors and super chic from the Riviera, there are some definite detours. He has taken the theme and used it to celebrate femininity…in it’s romantic iterations as well as it’s strength. He ends with the power suit to end all power suits. Let’s dive into the collection shall we?

Well bring on La Dolce Vita! I am getting a very strong Dolce and Gabbana vibe with this one. A perfect ensemble for relaxing on the Riviera. Sadly we don’t have an image of the back of this blouse but it looks to be amazing too. Adore the pink head scarf here. Perfect touch with the dark hair. She needed a glamorous pair of sunglasses to complete this look. The facial screening is reminiscent of Going Public Eugenia and me loves!! This is cool classic elegance. Time for a chilled glass of prosecco on the patio overlooking the Mediterranean.

Ohhhh so chic! I love that Jessy stuck with the rich Riviera colors here. And come one…Jordan in these honey tresses?!!…YUM! Jessy commented that he kept the facial screening soft and fresh on this one. I love that he paired these emerald sandals with the softer blue, turqoise and green tones. Adore the peach jewelry. And…Jordan has a last name now too!

There is a Fendi feel to that purse 
I love the doll on this one…let me just put that out there. Beautiful auburn hair on cream skin tone with soft facial screening and a Vanessa 3.0 sculpt. What is not to love about that. The outfit…well..it’s not my favorite..and not really getting a Riviera vibe either. I adore the accessories. The shirt with the bow detailing…love. I am not sure I would pair it with the black lace skirt and I for sure would not throw an animal print wrap over the top of it. This outfit was the weakest showing IMO of the entire line. I like the components, just not together. The sweatheart topstitch on the shirt gives it almost a western feel so not sure where that fits into this high glamour Riviera feel Jessy has going.

Holy flippin’ Zorro people!! I believe I fainted when I saw this one…then recovered quickly and put this doll as #1 on my buy list. What do I start with…That color on Adele…brilliant!! The scarf with the hat…inspired! The belted suit….sublime!! The accessories…perfection!! The facial screening…sultry and strong….LOVE!! This was IMO the strongest look of this collection. My only complaint is not sure how this fits in with a Riviera theme. It’s definitely showcases strong and feminine but not necessarily Riviera chic. Doesn’t change the fact that I am buying it though
My poor, poor wallet!!!
But wait folks…there is more! What collection is worth their salt without a lottery item. Yes…another lottery. I admit, kind of feeling the lottery fatigue with this one.

Whattttt!!!! Yep…you see it with your own eyes. This doll will come with two sets of bottom legs ( knee to foot). One with be high arched foot like normal and other will be newly engineered flat foot option with hinged ankle..very Poppy like. I love that they are giving us both options!! And…it’s a lottery doll of course. CRAAAAAPPPPP!!
And it looks like Balenciaga got invited to this party too.
Oh my!! A tanned Elyse!! Again I hope the lottery Gods are kind. There is a high edition size on this one so that’s at least comforting. Now this lady is definitely on theme for the Riviera. She just needs a Pucci scarf to tie around the swimsuit. Love this duel bottom leg concept too. Makes it very versatile. Another point that I didn’t make in this or the previous blog post about Nu.Face was the fact that these bodies don’t have the waist joint so there is this very smooth waist on them and it allows to show off the midriff without that pesky joint. Very nice.
I am so happy to see the uber talents of Jessy Ayala displayed in not one but two different collections this year. I feel his strongest showing was definitely in the Nu.Face line but the young man has some serious fashionista styling when it comes to the FR big hitters. While the cohesiveness might not have been as strong in the FR line as Nu.Face it still packed a punch with some really stellar moments. This collection’s Adele will be talked about for years and years. I would also like to give Integrity Toys and it’s design team a big thumbs up for the improved diversity in this line.
So, as I have said before, if you are at all interested in these lovely’s, contact your IT authorized dealer sooner rather than later.
