This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the W Club, so a special Jason Wu doll was promised during last year’s convention. The time has come to unveil "Venus Rising" Eugenia Perrin-Frost, designed by Fashion Royalty's original visionary, Jason Wu. She is a made-to-order doll, which does not happen often for a Wu doll. Added bonus, she’s a new version of the elusive grail Venus Eugenia.

The Story:
As Jason Wu decided on the best way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the W Club with a special Made-to-order doll for collectors, he started with a grail—hearkening back to the ultra-ultra-limited “Venus Lingerie” doll, which was a premium purchase through the Venus Secret lingerie shop in Taiwan. Using the original colour palette as inspiration, Jason has modernised the look with an infusion of luxury, using a miniaturised version of a gorgeous ensemble from his Spring 2013 collection, choosing a slightly different skirt construction and a new hairstyle to create this incredibly special and glamorous look.

12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes;
Beautifully hand-beaded sleeveless bodysuit with voluminous floor-length skirt and removable harness;

Jason Wu branded doll-sized lipstick accessory;

Certificate of authenticity.
Venus Eugenia was a very limited edition doll, specially made for the Venus Secret lingerie company of Taiwan, when they asked Jason to make them something special for their customers. According to yesterday’s presentation (Carol Roth had Jason Wu as a guest to talk about the doll and his years with Integrity, alongside Alain Trembley who had two prototypes of the doll to show), that edition was only 100 dolls. I still remember the frenzy, when word got out about the doll, of collectors trying to secure one. And now club members can have one of their own! The new doll has the same screening as the original one, with a different hairstyle and hair colour (original had loose wave black hair) and same skintone. She looks gorgeous and I am certain she will be a hit with collectors again. Jason mentioned that he picked Eugenia back when he made Venus as she was one of the new characters, but she had been around for three years by then, and had ten previous incarnations already released (including some very desired grail ones).
The dress is based on one of Jason’s designs from his Spring 2013 collection as shown in the photo above. Jason said that the original design did not translate well in doll scale, leaving the dress looking too small. Tulle is always difficult to scale properly for dolls but at least they could have given different lengths to the layers in the doll skirt, so that it would show better. The beading of the bodysuit is hand made (and looks amazing), so expect more time for delivery than is usual for made-to-order dolls. The shoes do not look like the originals (despite what Jason mentioned) but they look great (love the metallic tips on the ribbons), while the bag looks cool too. She comes with a Jason Wu lipstick and a pair of earrings too. The price is the standard for Jason Wu club dolls.
