Barbie® Yves Saint Laurent Doll

Product#: GCM97
Released: 0
Discontinued:
Ages: Adult

With a shared passion for personal style, Barbie® honors French fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1938 - d. 2008), for his vast impact on women's 20th century fashion. One of the greatest names in fashion history, Yves Saint Laurent invented the modern woman's wardrobe: the pea-jacket and trench coat in 1962, the first tuxedo in 1966, the safari jacket and the pant-suit in 1967, and the first jumpsuit in 1968. While constantly in search of simplicity, each collection was also a chance to bring his dreams to life. Fascinated by different cultures, nostalgic of a 'lost time,' he came up with dresses that transported the public to an imaginary elsewhere, from Russia to China, from India to Morocco. He also developed numerous garments directly referencing the artists he admired such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Vincent Van Gogh, and of course Piet Mondrian. Paying homage to the visionary designer, Barbie® models Yves Saint Laurent's iconic Mondrian dress from the Autumn-Winter 1965 collection. The multi-colored knit dress recalls the Dutch artist's sense of geometry, while a seamless patchwork and sleek back zipper reflect the designer's keen attention to detail. Black heels with silvery buckles and pearly earrings finish the timeless look. This beautiful doll is presented in collaboration with the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris.
