Blythe Welcomes Everyone!
The Blythe event took place at the main staircase inside of Venus Fort across from the beautiful fountain.
The Blythe doll used for all of promotional items and banners is a part of the fashion show dolls! She is even displayed at this exhibition. This year, the event was divided into two spaces、one part of the event space was dedicated to the newly released Blythe dolls. Princess a la mode, the Event Limited Edition Neo Blythe Cassis, Petite Blythe Bird Song Duet, and other cute dolls greeted the fans!

CWC illustrator, Hiromi Sato also exhibited her artwork inspired by the “Princess a la mode” story. Her lovely work captured the hearts of many Blythe fans. The artwork was included with the customized Blythe made by last year's Beauty Contest winners.
These dolls are inspired by the “Princess a la mode” story and they will also be part of charity auction.
Thank you very much to all of the artist who participated in this charity event!
A special Blythe shop was located at Olive Square. From the shop, you can see the fashion dolls displayed at Broadway Avenue.
The display included the wonderful Blythe dolls from the Blythe Beauty Contest. This year we had entries from all over the world and the finalists were selected from a panel of special judges and public voting. You will be delighted to see the many interpretations of Blythe! Following the Beauty Contest dolls are the “Pret a Porter” fashion dolls. The theme for these Blythe dolls was “pure fashion”! Come and see these stylish Blythe to see the hot new designs from top Paris designers!
The crowd included couples, single ladies, Blythe fans, families and children too! All in attendance were inspired and entertained by the beautiful exhibition dolls.
There were also a few charity fashion show dolls added at the Venus Fort event site. Uniquely styled Blythe dolls by “LEVI'S Lady Style” and Yurai san from the band “Bahashishi” contributed their own fashion Blythe to the charity. Their outfits and styling were so cute!
