Balmain and Barbie created a 50 plus items collection of apparel and accessories . The exciting part is that most items are unisex . Of course , there is a lot of pink in so many hues , from magenta to baby pink this collection is here to make us crazy!! 

“Growing up, Barbie’s shiny, smiley, and sunny California vibe was always mesmerizing — but it wasn’t always all that clear that her appealing universe was open to everyone,” said Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing in an official statement. “Small boys like me were strongly warned away from her, due to fears of teasing (or worse) for being ‘too feminine.’ But, thankfully, today’s Barbie wholeheartedly embraces everyone’s extraordinary beauty and possibilities — and Balmain’s new joyful and exuberant collaboration with that legendary doll celebrates that new open spirit of freedom and empowerment.” Source Nylon.
