Produced in close collaboration with Mattel, this book features more than 100 of Barbie's best fashion moments. From her original 1959 debut as a teenage fashion model, to her swinging sixties and seventies designs, her eighties and nineties street style, and incredible Barbiecore outfits from today — each look has been selected by Megan Hess and brought to life in her signature, sophisticated style.

Featuring archival imagery, fascinating fashion insights and plenty of pink, this book is a tribute to Barbie’s enduring legacy as a cultural icon and global symbol of ever-evolving fashion.
