Today’s release brought us a brand new Museum Mile collection, and I’m thrilled to say it returned to the store’s artistic roots! This drop showcases a mix of breathtaking paintings, sculptures and couture pieces that can truly be called wearable art.

First off, I really missed this kind of Museum Mile release. The previous tribute style clothing drops didn’t quite match the original concept of the store (with the exception of that stunning Westwood limited collection from a few years ago, that was a masterpiece on its own).

This new release curated by Vulacano includes several iconic artworks, with the famous paintings: The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel, The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, Ophelia by John Everett Millais and Coin du Bassin aux Nymphéas by Claude Monet. And sculptures like The Abduction of a Sabine Woman by Giambologna, David by Michelangelo, Torso of Aphrodite (based on a work by Kallimachos, represented here through a damaged Roman copy), Seated Buddha from Gandhāra by unknown artisans from the Gandhāra region (present day northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan)and the Bust of Nefertiti by Thutmose.

The store also includes some decorative pieces as a Ming Dynasty vase (Jar with Dragon), a Temple of Artemis column, a Roman-style column and an African mask representation. For the fashion side, the release features truly artistic creations, including dresses inspired by designers like Guo Pei, Rokh, Dior, and Schiaparelli. These designs blend seamlessly with the artistic theme and elevate the whole concept of fashion as art.

I must add that this curated collection was worthy of a limited release — it's actually better than most of the limited decor releases we've had over time. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving this return to form. You can see the real life item below:

Which piece (or masterpiece) are you most excited about?

Earlier today, the official Stardoll Instagram account posted a story containing some GIFs of the most iconic Disney characters, congratulating the realm of magic on its 100th anniversary. I shared the image on the chat page, suggesting that this might be a hint for the next release, and it turns out I was right. As a new Museum Mile collection has arrived at Starplaza, inspired by Disney princesses and villains, including items featuring the most famous rat of all, Mickey Mouse, of course!

Snow White is my favorite Disney princess, so I was very disappointed when I saw the look they chose to represent her. It's so flat, clumsy, and graceless. I understand the concept of the collection, imagining what the princesses would wear as regular girls, and some of the contemporary makeovers that illustrators usually do are amazing. However, in this case, it's not good.

To avoid saying that I hated everything, I should mention that I liked the bags, Belle's jacket, Ariel's bra, and the net top; they all look cool. Cruella's look seems to have potential as well. But overall, it's a fail – no happy ever after for this release.
