Antidote: Season 1

View all items from this collection; fashion and decor.

The first season of Antidote was released in the Starplaza on March 18th 2009. The concept of the new Antidote brand was to provide an alternative to the only other limited brand on Stardoll at the time: Limited Edition - the items were cheaper, more casual, and a little more experimental.

Availablity of each piece varied; the most limited being Ankle Dress Boots, one of only eight menswear pieces, with 150 units. This was also the first time we ever saw menswear in a limited release on Stardoll. 

Denim was the overarching theme for this collection, as well as playful printed tees, printed dresses/jumpsuits, and a sprinkling of eclectic decor including hangers, prints, and even a rug. The first ever animated limited item was featured in this release; Animated Logo was a pendulous decor piece sporting the Antidote logo swinging on two colourful strings. 

Antidote would go on to cement itself as the subversive antithesis to it’s glitzy limited co-star, and later develop it’s own similar cult following of fans, addicted to the antidote for mainstream fashion.

Decade of The Teens: Season 2

View all items from this collection here.

The second season of Decade of The Teens was released in the Starplaza in January 2010 and featured only one floor - it followed the concept of the previous store, allowing users to submit their own design sketches to be transformed into wearable items featured in the Decade of The Teens store.

After another round of voting, another selection of items were released in this second release - however, it would later be discovered that a handful of the designs were unfortuantely stolen from a Seventeen Magazine design contest; a dress, tights, shoes, and tiara submitted by xomigoshclairex.

Other players who had their designs featured were;

Decade of The Teens: Season 1

View all items from this collection here.

The first season of Decade of The Teens was released in the Starplaza in December 2009 and consisted of two floors - the concept was to allow users to submit their own design sketches which would be transformed into wearable items featured in the Decade of The Teens store. The final decision on which designs would be included was voted for by players at the time.

Several users attempted to submit stolen or plagiarised designs to the contest, some of which were initially chosen to be featured, however following some backlash from players, Stardoll reset the vote, this time with the stolen designs removed from the running, eventually releasing a collection of original concepts.

Players who had their designs featured were;

Iconic Lottery Dresses - a 20 Million Members Giveaway

View all items from this post here.

In August 2008, Stardoll reached a major milestone by surpassing 20 million registered members. To celebrate the occasion, a post published on the Starblog on August 14 announced a giveaway of StarDollars and a special lottery with 20 exclusive dresses inspired by real-life haute couture gowns.

Some of the dresses were illustrated in the original old graphic style of the early Stardoll, while others, mostly the wedding gowns, were illustrated in the style that was prevalent in the game at the time. Players couldn't choose which dress they would receive; they were randomly sent to selected dolls.

Once awarded, they immediately became the subject of intense demand leading to a crazy Starbazaar hunt. They quickly achieved the highest prices in the Starbazaar at the time (60 StarDollars). The dresses were frequently traded between users or even sold for real money, which is against the Stardoll rules.

As they are no longer obtainable through Starbazaar, they are considered among the rarest items in the game’s history. Today, all of the dresses carry the It Girls brand.

Many of the designs took inspiration from gowns worn by celebrities. For example, the Christina Milian Gown was based on a stunning Roberto Cavalli dress worn by her at the 2005 31st Annual People’s Choice Awards, while the Lindsay Lohan Gown was inspired by a Zac Posen dress she wore to the 2007 Costume Institute Gala at the Museum of Modern Art.

One of the biggest collectors of these dresses, who was active in the game until recently, was qtjoy1.
