Good news! There’s a Puma x Barbie collection coming up next fall, and it’s going to include apparel too. After Barbie’s collaboration with brands such as Sephora (in March), Missguided (in April), and a resort collaboration with Show me your Mumu, it’s time for the brand to move on to a collaboration with a streetwear brand like Puma.
Barbie has collaborated with another fashion brand, and released a Gigi Hadid x Tommy Hilfiger doll. The doll was previewed at the beginning of the year at the TommyNow 2017 show, as part of the ongoing collaboration of Gigi and Tommy Hilfiger, but there wasn’t any talk about making the doll available for sale. However, the Barbie doll is now available for pre-order on Barbie.com. The doll features the hoodie and shorts Gigi was wearing on Tommy Hilfiger’s first runway show back in 2016. “The collaboration with Gigi and Barbie was an exciting new twist on our brand’s history of partnering with pop-culture icons and our ongoing ambassadorship with Gigi,” said Hilfiger in a statement. “The final look of the Tommy x Gigi Barbie doll is a celebration of a defining moment in the history of Tommy Hilfiger women’s wear.”. Tommy x Gigi Barbie will be available to shop online at both barbie.com and tommy.com, as well as at Tommy Hilfiger’s London, Paris, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam and New York flagship stores.
Last week, we talked about the collaboration of Barbie and Sophia Webster. Continuing in the same theme, we have a new collaboration for fall, between Barbie and Tezenis. Tezenis is going to launch a new capsule collection with t-shirts, jumpers, pjs and underwear for women and girls. This new capsule collection is meant to create a nice shopping experience for mothers and daughters to share together. To celebrate this new collaboration, Mattel is going to create a limited edition “One Of a Kind Doll”, who will be wearing some of the clothes of this collection, in mini sizes to fit Barbie. The limited edition Barbie and #BarbieLovesTezenis capsule collection will be available in stores worldwide from the upcoming September.
We couldn’t be happier with the latest announcement of Sophia Webster about her newest collaboration, with a brand like Barbie. Webster’s signature style has always been doll-like, and it seems that the people at Barbie took notice and asked her to do them the honor and design something for the world-famous doll for the first time: flat shoes. “Creating a shoe collection for Barbie has always been my dream project, but getting to be a part of her embracing flats for the first time made it extra exciting, and deeply personal,” Webster told Vogue.
Barbie Lagerfeld is arriving on Sept 29th!
The designer’s trademark style is what makes the new Barbie unique! She is dressed in the likeness of Karl Lagerfeld – with a tailored black jacket, white high-collared men’s shirt with French cuffs, black satin cravat and fitted black jeans. The exclusive Barbie is ornamented with black fingerless gloves, ankle boots and sunglasses!
