Savoir Faire

Issued in 2002 as a LE of 150 for a Collector's United event in Atlanta, Georgia, "Savoir Faire" Sydney Chase is, in Dolldom's view, a perfect doll. Featuring the natural make-up palette used on the same year's "Firebird", "Sheer Glamour", and "RTW", "Savoir Faire" reprised the hairstyle of the previous year's "Black and White Ball" iteration. One wonders - then- how could these elements, already seen and available on other dolls, come together to create a definitive look for the ultimate diva of Tyler Wentworth's world?  The accompanying photo portfolio aims to capture the magic. 

"Savoir Faire" Sydney Chase models her beaded strapless gown with chiffon train. A perfect combination. 

But a fashion doll is always looking to model...

"Savoir Faire" dons a pink silk satin gathered teddy and "Central Park Benefit Luncheon's" skirt and she's ready for cocktails. Her Rx glasses are as essential to the Sydney Chase mystique as her pout. 

"Premiere Pink's" silk skirt and a honeycomb turtleneck by Demuse Doll make a surprise appearance...

For dancing, off comes the skirt!  Sydney reveals brocaded silk hot pants! 

In a classic deep blue 1950s  style cocktail dress by Paintbox Designs, Sydney travels through time. 

Luxe, calme, volupté...in Demuse Doll's textured silk coat with silk satin collar and bow. 

To close the show, "Savoir Faire" opts for Tyler Wentworth's "Dinner with Regina". 

Here's to 21 years of incomparable style, "Savoir Faire" Sydney Chase.
