Comme Des Garcons + Barbie


As surprising as Maison Martin Margiela's wig creature for Barbie was, Rei Kawakubo's Comme Des Garcons Jingle Flower Platinum Label Barbie seems even odder, although just as strangely desirable. This time around she comes outfitted in a classic 50's shaped silk-mix dress in one of CDG's iconic floral pixelated photo prints. For $340USD, this Mad-Men approach makes us wish they would have tricked her out with more inventive hair & make-up, something the house's shows always get right.

Maison Martin Margiela & Barbie's 5oth

Since one of our earliest fashion memories was learning who Oscar De La Renta was thanks to a mid 80's collaboration with Barbie at around the age of four, we couldn't be more thrilled with the roster of designers that are set to celebrate Barbie's upcoming 50th birthday celebration with a slew of new collectible collaborations. This provocative get-up for Barbie comes by way of genius Martin Margiela who incorporated his signature infatuations with covering the face, nude nylons and of course playing with the frivolity of wigs. We don't think Barbie has ever looked any cooler than this.
