See Barbie’s Most Fabulous Fashion Designer Collaborations

1 minute read

Designers have often cited Barbie as the plaything that originally perked their interest in design. Changing her clothes and picking out her accessories were just the first steps in successful careers designing runway shows. To show their appreciation, dozens of designers have partnered with Barbie over the years to create tiny outfits exclusively for the doll. Christian Dior, Diane Von Furstenberg and Burberry are just a few of the labels that have dreamt up outfits for the most popular doll in history. Barbie even got her own Juicy Couture tracksuit.
