Produced in close collaboration with Mattel, this book features more than 100 of Barbie's best fashion moments.

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.
