A Note from Sybil: Dark Academia Mix and Match Arrives October 17th

Apparently, I have been informed that calendars do matter after all.

Mark your calendars for October 17th and prepare for a wonderfully moody Dark Academia Mix & Match Event with VDC.

Join Christopher for a special styling video as he shows you all the incredible possibilities in our new VDC Dark Academia Mix & Match Collection. Layer, restyle, accessorize, and create your own perfectly scholarly look.

After the video, head over to the brand-new Dark Academia Boutique on the VDC website, where you’ll be able to shop Dark Academia clothing, purses, shoes, boots, and something particularly exciting: a brand-new Inset Eye Ellowyne Wilde.

There will be two Inset Eye Ellowyne Wilde dolls released in 2026. If you look closely at our promo picture, you’ll spot both of them.

Try to stay calm.

The first will debut during the October 17th Mix & Match Sale, and the second will arrive in November 2026.

And yes, you’ll get to see both dolls during the Mix & Match video

So gather your books, find something appropriately brooding to wear, and join us on October 17th.

A note for those of you who insist on being organized: the Mix & Match Fashion Video will premiere at 10:00 AM, and shopping in the Dark Academia Boutique begins at 11:00 AM.
