In anticipation of the 20th Anniversary of Fashion Royalty, Integrity Toys started producing "re-imagined" versions of some of the most iconic giftsets they ever produced in 2023. The IT design team was inspired in 2025 to also revisit some of their retired lines.
One of my very favorite IT lines ever produced was the Monogram Collection that was introduced in 2009. We haven't seen a new Monogram since 2019. This past year, IT gave us an incredible giftset with three complete ensembles. Here is the IT promo photo:
IT designer Chris Stoeckel's name is all over this giftset. Even though it is from the Monogram line, the Victoire Roux/East 59th aesthetic is obvious. For me, it is reminiscent of the 2014 Depart pour L'Orient Victoire Roux. It feels like a nod to a more vintage time, but I am not mad at it. Regardless, the doll is quite lovely (who can resist a great redhead), the clothing is well-tailored, and the suit quickly became a favorite ensemble in my dolls' wardrobe. The suit is inspired by John Galliano for 2007 Christian Dior collection.
I think IT did a fantastic job reproducing this in miniature. I appreciate the removable lapels and the flowers added to the hat. Where on earth did they find this perfect fabric in miniature? Even the shoes are an exact replica.
The giftset's ensembles also fit my Jamieshow/Owensu Muses girls perfectly. Here is my photo of Legend Daphne wearing the suit with the added gloves from an Enchanted ensemble and different shoes. It just takes my breath away. I love it so much, Daphne hasn't been redressed in months!
I would love to see more Monograms in the near future! Best of 2025 - Number 8 - Popular Monogram.
