Barbie has collaborated with UK footwear designer Sophia Webster on a coordinating collection of women's and children's shoes. Entitled Barbie by Sophia Webster, the collection is based on Sophia's favourite styles reimagined exclusively for Barbie. The line will comprise six adult styles, including two sneakers, one flat sandal, and three pairs of heels, including Sophia Webster’s Chiara sandal with its signature butterfly-adorned stiletto heel, and three children’s versions, each derivative of their adult counterpart. This collaboration is a continuation of the Barbie Fashionista campaign, which celebrates diversity and individual style with 23 new dolls, featuring 14 different facial sculpts, eight skin tones, 18 eye colours, 22 hair styles, and 23 hair colours. Additionally, Sophia Webster has dressed a limited edition Barbie. Housed in a specially designed box, the Barbie by Sophia Webster doll wears a pair of ‘Riko' hi-top glitter sneakers, behind which other miniature-sized style options are displayed. Barbie by Sophia Webster launches in Selfridges London on 27 August, in both the womenswear designer shoe gallery and childrenswear department. Further Barbie by Sophia Webster stockists will include: Selfridges Manchester Trafford and Manchester Exchange, On Pedder in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Jakarta, and Beijing, and Level Shoe District in Dubai, as well as both Selfridges and Sophia Webster online.
