We got a mini collection of Poppy Parker dolls this year - and, as we already knew, it is inspired by the Mod era. The concept is that Poppy travels from New York to London for the opening of avant-garde artist Riley Ridget's latest "Op Art" installation. Designed by David Buttry, it is the first ever Poppy Parker collection completely in black and white. Two dolls are lottery through the W Club and the others are sold through dealers.

The Story:
Famed Op Art creator Riley Ridget personally invited Poppy Parker and her friends to attend her next big optical art show in London... Such a genius always recognizes that while the art itself is important, having the "right" crowd at the opening doesn't hurt one's reputation in the art world! Everyone's favourite fashion model, Poppy Parker, knows this and she is more than happy to groove her way into the "IT" crowd and set the tone for what is sure to become one of the 1960s most memorable art moments!
Included:
12-inch articulated doll with long rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
"A-line" houndstooth coat dress with ¾ bell sleeves;
Matching hat;
Black tights;
High-heeled ankle booties with contrasting houndstooth detail and working zip (designed to fit the high-heeled lower legs, also included);
Black and white handbag with shoulder strap and chrome beading detail;
Oversized sunglasses;
Newly developed earrings and matching ring;
Cuff bracelet;
Pair of long-manicured hands;
Pair of alternate gloved hands (with separate opera-length gauntlets);
Bonus! Pair of alternate articulated ankle lower legs;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
I love this one - the smoky eye combined with pale lips is always a winner for me and the pied-de-poule (or hounds-tooth) pattern always a favourite.She fully embodies the concept. She will look great next to The Girl from I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. Poppy from 2014, which would fit perfectly in this collection too. She has the Hold That Tiger screening. The closest I could get researching the inspiration is this 1966 Geoffrey Beene outfit.

Not feeling this one. And the main reason is that she reminds me a lot of the British Invasion Poppy from the Swinging London collection in 2017, which I already own. Then, it is the lip colour that does not seem to go with her hair colouring at all. She has darker hair than BI. Also their hats are identical - only BI’s is white. So I skipped entering the lottery for this one. The inspiration is from a 2013 outfit from Fay Spring Summer collection, which of course was inspired by similar mod era dresses.

A welcome return for Jolie, who was missing in action (pun intended) since the days of The Girl From I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y Poppy Parker 2014 Collection. This time she looks incredible with her Op-Art jumpsuit (that reminds me a lot of the Mod Barbie collection, this one from back in the day and also this one from Biba) and her awesome accessories that compliment it so well. Her hair and make up are fitting for the era and outfit, making her look a million bucks. Welcome again Miss Jolie James.

It looks like I’m finally getting a freckle faced doll after all - this Ginger looks like the epitome of mod era girl in the variety of outfits she comes in! Love her short hairstyle, overall Twiggy inspiration and Cardin inspired extreme coat, along with her Courrèges boots and striped hooded outfit (either Mary Quant or Rudi Gernreich inspired). She will compliment She’s Not There Poppy Parker so well.
