The tweet:

伊勢丹 X スマートドール。

伊勢丹新宿店5Fのリビングフロアに末永みらいの「みらい百貨店」が9月14〜20日の間に展開。伊勢丹新宿店の制服を着用した限定エディションも。是非来てください！

そして世界中に展開している伊勢丹には・・・

 

It sounds like these outfits are Isetan department store uniforms and they will be limited edition? They're really elegant, though!

 

EDIT: I fixed your image size so people can see both sets.

ahhh, the image is wider than the site's format!!

 

there is a really nice style skirt tho. so stylish

Oh, they're lovely! I am more of a fan of simpler outfits that are basically scaled down versions of human clothing, so these are right up my street.

Sounds pricy and smart doll clothes costed a bit to begin with.

I really like the outfit to the left. It's so elegant and pretty

A lot of high-end doll clothes can be considered pricey, I suppose. But then, if you know the time and labour that goes into making those tiny details it's understandable. After all, it's basically miniature copies of human size clothes, all the way down to the tiniest seam detail. The designer also has to find the proper fabric with thinner thread weaving or small patterns, so it looks more realistic.

I've purchased a few pieces of Smart Doll clothing (jeans, shoes, bikinis), mostly because I was sure these items would have the exact fit. Yes they are on the pricey side but as far as fit and finish go, they do not disappoint. And I really like the range of casual clothing they have chosen. I will no doubt be buying more Smart Doll clothing for my girls in the future.

I asked Danny on Twitter if these will be available outside of Japan. The answer was 'no'

Time to fire up your proxy!

I understood it as them being available only in shop?

They won't be available outside Japan? Going to cost me more to go through other sellers to the clothes. I love that skirt. So business like, heheh.

Mirai looks so cute in those classy outfits. My favorite is the right one!

They look like very demure business ladies

I wonder if this Isetan collab will turn out like the Parco campaign with Blythe.

Darn exclusives. I wish they would sell outside of Japan.

Danny posted some new info on his website.

 

Both outfits are sold together with a Smart Doll of choice at the Isetan store. The skirt set (with doll) is 85,000 JPY excluding tax. The suit set (with doll) is listed at 90,000 JPY excluding tax.

It's not possible to buy the outfits separately. Those outfits are stunning but holy moly at those prices O__o

 

Interestingly enough, at the bottom, he also mentions an overseas collaboration to be announced on the 22nd of Sept. Interesting....

I'm interested to see the overseas collabo!

Let's just hope it's not Walmart.

Heres the commercial, then. Mirai's got a real cute voice.

I would just be happy if it's a European collaboration. Seriously, *ANY* European company/country will do!! Just for once, I would like to be able to get something BJD-related exclusive without having to pay custom fees or high shipping.

Definitely Ikea! He's been doing heavy marketing for quite a long time

LOL! I actually wouldn't mind if it was IKEA. It's a really short trip for me, so I'd totally be there every other day.

 

My guess would be another clothing/dept store rather than furniture, though. Or maybe a camera store, like he has going in other countries. Whatever it is, I'm excited for it!

oh my goodness 1/3 ikea furniture asdfhlgl yes please

 

No lie, I'd love that. Furniture and props are really exciting to me cos I can't make them and because I love making tiny dioramas.

Jesus, scale furniture would be my financial ruin

And considering IKEA's specialty is *flatpack* furniture. . . not only does that mean less brutal shipping than say, Volks furniture, but perhaps there's hope of something that can easily be folded back flat for storage. That'd be neat.
