New York Fashion Week Karolin Stone - Life from Fashion Week IT Convention 2019
Let's get back to NuFace. This is only third Karolin offered to us. She was introduced on Cinematic convention in 2015 as convention doll. It was said that this sculpt is one of Jason's favorite sculpts. However, her reception was cold at best. I got that Karolin, loved her eyes and lips, but sold her because of her forehead... Finally, another Karo enters my collection.
Makeup/Hairstyle - She features completely new screening. I know collectors often complain how Jessy reuses old screenings, but fail to notice when he give us completely new and gorgeous screening like this one. I like everything about her face! She has lovely green eyes and metallic blue eyeshadow that looks very airbrushed. I wasn't sure about her eyebrows, being placed quite low, but in person they look great. Details on her lips reminds me on Going Public Eugenia lips. She looks quite beautiful and sexy like those models from Victoria Secret shows. She looks great in lingerie btw. She has muted blonde haircolor. I usually do not like this color as it looks a bit dead, but in combination with her vivid face and makeup, I think it is a good choice. Hairstyle is simple, but the hair is thinned on the sides, looks very playable in person. 10/10
Outfit/Accessories - It seems black, red and white combo is Karolin's favorite. As I recall we didnt get any Balmain inspired outfits before in this color combination. The jacket looks expensive and quite pretty in person. Though, material used on the sleeves is a bit heavy, so you can not put her arms down quite well. Main dissappointment is top. It isn't lined and looks rather cheap. I had better B..... tops than this one... Red pants are interesting, but their shape is problematic for display, when it comes to crouch area. I was excited about them, but in person they are just OK. Accessories are minimal, plus basic. She NEEDS a bag or something... Shoes are quite cool and something we haven't seen before. 8/10
Execution/ Quality Issues - Paint on the details in the corner of her lips is not applied consistently, but it doesn't bother me. Pants are made of a material that feels more rubbery than old fake leather items. I hope they will not peel with time. Otherwise, I had no issues with this doll. 10/10
Overall, very good if not the best version of Karo so far. I would love to see her with this screening as brunette in pale skintone and colorful summery dress. 9/10
