Tawny. Platinum. Vibrant. Off the charts! That's Versace Barbie^® doll, an exquisite combination that brings two of the fashion world's most celebrated names together for the first time. Versace Barbie^® is an outstanding feat of artistry, beginning a new era for the celebrated supermodel. For this delightful diva, the Barbie^® Collector Design Team has created a fresh new figure sculpt known as the ModelMuse™ sculpt. This new look captures Barbie^® in motion as she slinks down the runway, hand on hip, with an emphasis on attitude. The ModelMuse™ sculpt accentuates movement with legs caught in mid-stride, an arched back and delicate details that bring new meaning to the term, "willowy blonde." The House of Versace's fashion interpretation for Barbie^® projects all the label's trademark appeal: a blend of art and fashion that pays careful attention to the female form.

The Italian label, known for fashion with a rock and roll edge and contemporary sensibility, appeals to a broad international base that includes jet setters and young fashionistas. Versace Barbie^® wears a spaghetti strap taupe gown that is accented with decorative criss-crossing ribbons, and that drapes over her delicate figure and falls to the floor in a crescendo of chiffon ruffles. The stunning creation bears all the designer's signature touches with an asymmetrical high slit skirt and a bustier top reminiscent of Versace's popular fine metal mesh gowns. This combination of classical glamour and modern vitality is beautifully realized with precise touches to the doll's face paint -- eyes painted a soft amber shade, full lips painted in a shade matching the gown and just a hint of blush -- and a perfect French manicure.
