Badgley Mischka™ Barbie® Doll Makes a Dramatic Entrance
Badgley Mischka’s stunning couture creations, favored by stylish women around the world and A-list celebrities alike, have been captured this year with the Badgley Mischka™ Barbie® doll. The brunette-haired Badgley Mischka Barbie doll wears a beautiful pink charmeuse halter gown, decorated with elegant white lace tiers, iridescent sequins and exquisite beadwork. A pink charmeuse “flower” worn on the bodice, delicate chiffon shawl and glittering Swar-ovski crystal earrings are the perfect accessories.
In 47 years, the Barbie doll has had more than 50 of the most sought-after fashion designers in the world adorn her in their glamorous and dazzling creations. “We’re incredibly proud to align Barbie with a luxury fashion brand as successful as Badgley Mischka,” said Chuck Scothon, general Manager and senior vice president, Girls, Mattel Brands. “Badgley Mischka’s simple yet glamorous fashion philosophy is the perfect complement to Barbie doll’s classic style sensibility.”
“In creating the Badgley Mischka Barbie doll, we were inspired by Barbie’s amazing sense of fashion and individuality,” stated Mark Badgley and James Mischka. “We wanted her to evoke the golden age of Hollywood glamour yet make her understated and timelessly stylish.”
The Badgley Mischka Barbie doll is Mattel’s second partnership with Badgley Mischka; in 2004 the two paired up to create the Badgley Mischka Bride Barbie doll. Badgley Mischka has been hailed by Vogue as among the “Top 10 American Designers” and their designs appeal to a range of women, including celebrities such as Madonna, Catherine Zeta Jones, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, Sarah Jessica Parker and Ashley Judd. The designers have also dressed the First Daughters, Barbara and Jenna Bush for the Inaugural Ball. Badgley Mischka is sold in the most prestigious stores in the world including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Holt Renfrew.
