Parisienne Pretty Barbie®

In 2000, designer Robert Best debuted the Barbie® Fashion Model Collection to rave reviews. And since then, he hasn’t missed a stylish beat. From sophisticated glamour girls in elegant evening gowns to chic and stylish socialites in the latest couture to career focused fashionistas devoted to working and living stylishly, this collection has always celebrated high-fashion fabulousness, with that beloved retro feel from Barbie's vintage era.

The "Since 1959" Collection commemorates famed vintage Barbie® fashions, re-invented for a new era! Fifty years ago, haute couture traveled from French ateliers to Southern California for our own beautiful fashion maven, Barbie® doll. A stylish favorite, Pretty Parisienne® now inspires Robert Best to create a celebratory 50th anniversary re-design.

Barbie® first stepped into the spotlight in 1959, created by Ruth Handler and inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli. The Barbie® Collector doll was a departure from the popular paper dolls of the time, but a welcome one — today, you'll be hard-pressed to find a toy chest without a handful of Barbies® inside. Her appeal extends to adults, too, with a wide range of Barbie® dolls made especially for collectors, including porcelain versions, vintage reproductions, dolls inspired by pop culture characters, and more.
