Barbie's Latest Doll Pays Tribute to Vera Wang
Created to inspire the next generation.
Continuing its “Tribute” collection, Mattel is back with another Barbie doll inspired by none other than Vera Wang.
The toy company’s ongoing range celebrates leading figures across all industries who have helped shape and impact culture. Having started with a small bridal boutique during the early years of her career, Wang has established a name for herself in the fashion industry and transcended cultural boundaries.
“When I was first asked to participate in the Barbie’s ‘Tribute’ series, I was completely overwhelmed on so many levels,” the designer shared in a press release. “While it has been an honor for me to have created so many looks for Barbie through the years, from wedding to red carpet, a Barbie in my own likeness is something I never could have imagined. Barbie is the ultimate icon, and she represents all of us, and through the decades, she has continued to evolve, to every changing standard of women while reflecting huge shifts in our society, if not the world,” she added.
Take a closer look at the doll above. Priced at $39.99 USD, the Vera Wang Barbie “Tribute” collection doll is now available online.
