Last time we saw a pair of Jason Wu designed Poppy Parker dolls was back in 2020 with the 20th Anniversary collection. Now we get two new ones, available only through lottery to W Club members. Both are wearing Spring 2021 Jason Wu outfits in miniature and have one more thing in common: freckles. I am not crazy about freckles in dolls, as they always look out of scale and cartoony to me. But that is just a matter of taste. As for the styling and fashions…

I would have loved this face without the freckles - even though her eyeshadow looks like she has stye. Pinks and reds are always risky as eyeshadows. The outfit is not what I would have associated with Jason Wu, if I saw it on a photo without a caption. Sporty and relaxed, it is not what I usually look for in dolls, especially expensive Jason Wu designed ones. And while the miniature sandals look very realistic, they give off cheap tourist vibes. I imagined this one without the freckles and in a yellow tailored outfit. Sigh.

Keeping up with the sorbet colours, this one is in deep pink, still with the dreaded freckles and still sporting an outfit that is great on a human visiting the Acropolis in the summer but I do not want it anywhere near my dolls, especially the sandals. Surprisingly, this one looks better on the doll than on the model. Speaking of which, why not this one being AA like the model too? Would have been so much more interesting. This one might look better worn open at the front, over slack striped pants and a cropped top, paired of course with different style sandals. I think it is time that if Jason designs another Poppy, we should get something with the caliber of Bergdorf Goodman Poppy. The “rich lady on a trip to Hydra island” style is tired. Look how Jacquemus does summer.
