Barbie's Fashion History in the 1990s

In 1995 Barbie partnered with Bloomingdale's department store to produce what would become a series of Barbie dolls celebrating American fashion designers. The resulting Empress Sissy doll wears a Daphanis white tool gown and the wide Colonel and silhouette of the 1850s 1860s. This is actually within this adult collectors sphere that we keep talking about where we really start to see more and more collaboration with industry fashion designers outside of Barbies internal team. And let me just tell you dress listeners, there have been a lot of designer collaborations over the year.
