It's autumn so fashion weeks are running one after another, from New York to London to Milan and Paris. Vogue Italia, in collaboration with Mattel and fashion designers, once again organised a Barbie Fashion Icons exhibition along Milan Fashion Week at Palazzo Morando from the 21st of September.

The fashion designers this time are:

Massimo Giorgetti for Emilio Pucci
Alessandra Facchinetti for Tod’s
Alessandro Dell’Acqua for Rochas
Salvatore Ferragamo Creative Team
Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant for Courrèges
Lorenzo Serafini for Philosophy
Arthur Arbesser for Iceberg
Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi for Fay
Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli
Veronica Etro for Etro

The designers picked their preffered version of the doll, curvy, petite, tall etc. and created a unique fashion for her, showcasing their brand's vision for Barbie. Matching accessories were also designed and made. The results are sublime and once again prove how creative the doll world can become.
