Other Designers
There are so many designers out
there now that are creating such wonderful things for Barbie. I enjoy them all
and here are some of the ones that I have. Of course Bob Mackie will always be
the closest to my heart, but these are right behind him!:-)

Barbie®
doll is dressed in an outfit that reflects Kate's personal style. The doll wears
a floral print coat with three-quarter length sleeves, belted at the waist.
Beneath the coat is an ivory knit sweater and green shantung cigarette pants. A
faux wicker handbag with golden detail is reminiscent of Kate's handbag designs,
specifically the "Venice Basket." Barbie® also carries a "canvas"
tote trimmed with faux green leather. The dog perched at the edge of the bag is
modeled after Kate's friendly and loyal dog. Barbie® wears many
striking accessories including bold beaded necklace and earring set with faux
turquoise accents, oversized sunglasses, and green high-heel sandals.

Leading
international fashion house, Versace, is recognized around the world for luxury
clothing and lifestyle accessories. Couture design, recognizable flair and
unmistakable elegance are signatures of the Versace brand. Versace Barbie®
doll wears an alluring sleeveless taupe gown with a long hip hugging bodice of
laced taupe ribbon above ruffles of chiffon falling vertically to the floor
creating a sumptuous sense of motion.

The
Designer Spotlight™ series features the unique design aesthetics of Mattel's
most talented doll artists. Heather Fonseca has created the second doll in the
series and her love of art history is reflected in the elegance and classicism
of this orginal design. Barbie® wears an elegant floor
length black gown that closes in the back with small snaps. The fitted bodice is
made of black faille, trimmed with black velvet ribbon. That same ribbon is used
as shoulder straps for the gown. The top skirt is made of black panne velvet
with multiple bustles on the right side, creating a flowing and full effect.
This top skirt is longer in the back, forming a subtle train. The top skirt is
split in the front at the waistline to reveal a black and off-white foile print
taffeta underskirt. Accessories include black spiked pumps, long stretch
charmeuse gloves in natural white, and a black ribbon choker necklace tied in a
small bow in front, accented with a delicate silver rhinestone.
