Barbie has been enjoying Fashion Week for the last few weeks. Have you been following her Instagram posts? In addition to jetting off to New York, London and Milan, Paris is Barbie's latest Fashion Week stop. While in Paris, Barbie received an amazing set of make-up looks by Pat McGrath. Pat McGrath MBE is a British make-up artist. She has been called the most influential make-up artist in the world by Vogue magazine. You can see more of her colorful looks on her Facebook page. The dolls featured are Barbie Fashionistas from the current wave. I'm not sure about the base doll for the first picture below but her styling is impeccable. The first Barbie has cat-eyes bedecked with gold glitter and Swarovski crystals reminiscent of McGrath’s recent facial jewelry creations at Givenchy. The second doll is the favorite LA Girl Fashionista Barbie with a geometric palette of primary colors transforming Barbie into the McGrath's ID Magazine look for Jessica Stam in 2004; The third look features blunt bangs paired with pigment-dense teal eyeshadow transport Barbie to last Fall’sAtelier Versace show.The last look features dramatic brows, a septum ring, and jeweled lips in a punk-inspired look McGrath applied behind the scenes at the 2013 Met Gala. Barbie continues to blow away the press with her amazing looks, why not have a super amazing makeup stylist to solidify her runway style? I'm loving these collaborations with artists and Barbie, as always the possibilities are endless. These bold looks are amazing.... don't you agree?
Enjoy the following looks posted on Pat's Instagram and the Barbie Style Instagram.
I am so impressed by the way that Barbie is described in this month's Italian Vogue: "Barbie’s
charm? Boundless, just like her popularity. There is no other doll that can
embrace looks and styles so different and interpret cultures and traditions.
Every moment of the life of a woman, every career, every dream has had a Barbie
doll playing it out."
It has never been more evident that Barbie can embrace every woman when you peruse the current releases of the Barbie Fashionistas line. I had stopped buying a lot of the playline Barbie dolls but these last two waves of Fashionistas have really caught my attention. Just a few days ago I was able to find the last few that I was looking for. You can see how beautiful and representative of many cultures that these current Barbies are when you see these Barbie Fashionistas commissioned by Vogue Italia to be displayed during fashion week in Milan starting Thursday, September 24th. There are a total of 20 dolls designed by 10 known designers and 10 up and coming designers "in a project
that sought to express the global appeal of Barbie’s beauty." Here is the entire collection:
Here are a few edits I created of my favorite dolls in this collection. If you are able to stop by and view the collection please take pictures and have an amazing time!
