The design team fell head over heels for Vera Kotikova’s design and immediately knew they wanted to create her exquisite sketch. Her story was short and sweet, painting the picture of a young and vigorous artist inspired by bracing landscapes and guided by a rich cultural history. The RRFF team choose this doll as her design expresses a love of artistry that prompted the Fan Edition project in the beginning. 

The design team also loved Amélie’s warm autumnal palette of rich browns and deep maroons. Her style is unmistakably Parisian - full of timelessly classic garments such as the white button-down and sophisticated pieces like her matching tan satchel and oxford shoes. 

Her look is made cohesive by her practical yet equally enchanting accessories. Amélie wears a reversible cape, one side is a chic suede-brown color and the other an adorable plaid. Amélie’s entire look can be changed by the flip of a cape. This fashionista’s passion for painting is also evident in her accessories. She arrives with a tiny artist’s paint palette complete with a brush - perfect for capturing a picturesque scene on the go. Amélie comes with loads of accessories that can be re-positioned and re-styled over and over again.

The final doll stays true to Vera’s original vision. She wears the same girlish golden curls and a red lip that Vera carefully penned in the original sketch. Amélie looks every bit like the iconic french ingenue in her final iteration - a truly unique and quirky doll that is the perfect addition to any artist’s collection.
