The book features some of Margot Robbie's gorgeous ensembles, such as the Vivienne Westwood dress, the Versace minidress from 1994, and the vintage Chanel set that matches StreamLine Luggage. Exclusive commentary from Robbie, Mukamal, and well-known designers including Jeremy Scott, Manolo Blahnik, Olivier Rousteing, and more are included in the book.
As reported by Variety, Margot Robbie and the cast of Barbie traveled the world on their press tour, stopping in Toronto, Canada; Sydney, Australia; Seoul, South Korea; Mexico City, Mexico; Los Angeles, California; and London, England. However, the SAG-AFTRA strike in July forced the cancelation of the press tour, leaving several Barbie doll styles untouched as potential parallels.
Together with fashion photographer Craig McDean, Robbie and Mukamal realized these ensembles, producing a visual extravaganza that reflects the contemporary doll-inspired reproductions. Unveiling the book cover showcasing a Barbie-inspired Robbie adorned in a pink Chanel suit, Mukamal expressed in an Instagram post:
"I conceived the idea for this book while lounging in my living room, envisioning Margot's wardrobe for the 'Barbie' press tour in March 2023."
Mukamal continued:
"Just a few months later, I find myself in the studio, bringing this project to life with the team of our dreams. This book is a passion project, crafted with love and dedicated to all the Barbie enthusiasts and fashion aficionados worldwide."
The display not only encapsulates the spirit of modern doll-inspired fashion but also offers readers a unique peek into the intricate realm of fashion design.
The book dives into Mattel's Barbie fashion archives to provide readers with genuine designer sketches, Polaroids from fittings, and an abundance of fascinating details, all while capturing the essence of Margot Robbie's Barbie-inspired ensembles.
The coffee table book gains refinement from Fabien Baron's graphic direction, which makes it an essential purchase for anybody interested in fashion history.
