It was Sydney Chase's specific flair and independent style that told her good friend, Tyler Wentworth, that she was a mover and shaker...and an alliance was soon created between both fashion professionals. Madison Avenue immediately quaked over the report that the House of Wentworth and Chase Modeling would be a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry. Tyler's business attire designs for Sydney were designed to meet a professional and evocative look. Partnered with Sydney's confidant smile and sweeping black hair, this silk tweed suit and silk crepe blouse/scarf combination worked perfectly with the sleek black boots from Tyler's 2001 collection.  The image to the far right shows the final approved face make-up.  This is the regular line debut Sydney Chase...the first Sydney to be released was UFDC Focus on Fashion Sydney.  NOTE:  Many collector's refer to this doll as 'Basic Sydney', although it is not a 'basic' doll...it is also known are the 'Original Raven Sydney'.

One of the most coveted invitation of the year was the International Couture Arts Museum Black and White Ball in Manhattan. Sydney knew it was the perfect opportunity to build a major new alliance with the museum's fashion curator. Her Tyler Wentworth couture gown with a double teardrop train in black satin over a dramatic contrast of black and white stripes in a bold chevron was spectacular, indeed. Imagine everyone's surprise when she walked into the museum's Grand Foyer unveiling a perfect contrast of pale blond hair! The combination of a jet choker, matching earrings and black opera gloves created a portrait of femininity synonymous with Sydney Chase's joie de vivre.
