FAF Presents: A Randall Craig Retrospective, 2008 Convention Collection (part 1)
Posted by Jeanne on May 4, 2024, 12:09 am
This collection consisted of 8 fashions which were more limited than Randall's regular line fashions. They were only available to attendees of the 2008 Barbie convention and the 2008 IFDC convention. I was lucky enough to attend the IFDC convention that year and Randall held a special event there for his fans. A very few special drawing winners at that event were guaranteed the right to purchase the full collection. This was a big lure because everyone else had to wait in the lines for his table the next day when the salesroom opened, and there were often quick sell-outs of his fashions so collectors often went away disappointed. When I saw the 8 fashions displayed at the event I immediately entered the drawing. A great memory of that convention is when my name was drawn and I knew I would not have to wait in the lines the next day to obtain these stunning fashions.Paris When It Sizzles, 50 pieces (retail price $60)- It's a little hard to photograph this lovely fashion. The short swing jacket & sheath skirt are made of a black fabric which has fine gold flecks, and photographically they kind of blend together. A sequined tube top, a small black sequin flower headpiece, a gold clutch, black pumps, and "diamond" stud earrings (not shown) are also included. Honeysuckle Rose, 50 pieces (retail price $60)- A stunning magenta cocktail dress accessorized with a black sequin flower belt, long black gloves, black pumps, 2 silver cuff bracelets and an unusual teardrop-shaped fascinator with beaded accents. Also included but not shown were thigh-high black hose and onyx stud earrings. Next week we'll look at more fashions from this superb collection.
