Pride: Always In Fashion WINNERS Announced!

Hey Dolls!

Today, we are super excited to announce the winners of the Pride: Always in Fashion contest that we held in the beginning of June. Everyone who entered was asked to share what kind of Pride-related fashion they wanted to see here on Stardoll. It could be from a Pride-themed collection or from a collection created by someone in the LGBTQIA community. We selected 3 winners, all of whom got to pick out items to be released on Stardoll! Here is information about the winners and the fashions they selected!

1st Place - midnightmonkey6

I first chose the ‘wiggle dress’, which is by Christopher John Rogers. His runways take inspiration from NYC ball culture, an LGBTQIA+ subculture where the participants are mainly black and Latino members of the community. CJR is known for extravagant silhouettes, vibrant colors, loud prints, diverse model casting, and the likes of Lizzo, Lil Nas X and Tessa Thompson have worn his designs.

I then chose two pieces by Marc Jacobs, as not only has he had iconic and over-the-top runways, but has also used his platform and privilege to speak up about LGBTQIA+ rights, as well as the current BLM movement. I chose his rainbow bead earrings as a nod to the pride flag, and the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami mini bag as a standout collaboration from his time at LV.

Finally, I chose the strappy Amina Muaddi heels with rainbow crystals as another nod to the pride flag.

2nd Place - BERCEMPM

First of all thank you for choosing me! I’ve been trying to find the right items for hours. I want it to be perfect and suitable to the Pride theme. I selected looks from the Burberry Ready-To-Wear Fall 2018 collection by Christopher Bailey.

The first one is a rainbow sweater dress. When I saw this dress, I was speechless. I think it is suitable for the Pride theme. The red overlayer was originally released by Stardoll in July of 2018, and the dress will look perfect with or without it.

The second item is the big coat. I chose it because we love big coats and it's suitable for all genders! Everyone can buy this for their dolls!

I love the third item, a bag, so much. The moment I saw it, I said myself that it will be in my collection! It is perfect fit for the Pride theme and not just for that -- we can use this bag all the time! It is little, elegant, and so cute!

For my last item, I chose a visor hat because it's a good combination with the coat. It's suitable for everyone.

3rd Place - MarcWar

I am very happy to contribute with items of my choice to dress other dolls! Through long research, I selected items from the Gucci brand with prints that represent the LGBTQIA community.

I chose the Gucci Cardigan Sweater for all dolls because it is versatile and simple, can be used in all types of looks for the most diverse styles, from the most basic to the high fashionistas.

I chose the Gold Peggy Platform Sneakers to give glamor to the look, leaving it more stylish and elegant. Using creativity, we can compose looks useing them with various styles.

And finally, I chose the Gucci Psychedelic Belt Bag to enhance a look. The belt bag is perfect, with a modern and fashionable vibe, although it is an older style item that has currently resurfaced in several models.

Virtual hug to everyone!

You may have noticed that our Content Team got so excited about some of the items and released them with daily looks a little early! But they are also available here, along with the red dress overlay we released as a HotBuy in 2018 to go along with Bercempm's rainbow sweater dress, and a few older items to round out this collection!

Thanks to EVERYONE who participated in this contest. We look forward to seeing you YOU style these awesome items. You can check out the fashions and purchase them NOW in StarPlaza!
