The six-piece Barbie x Karen Mabon collection offers a fashionable look back on some of the most iconic Barbies from years past, including the original 1959 Barbie. In this collection of nostalgic sleepwear designs, there's a pair of 100% GOTS-certified cotton pyjama sets that feature illustrations from Barbie's 60th anniversary—and the Barbie Archive print is a meaningful one for luxury sleepwear designer Karen Mabon, who marveled at the dolls in the toy aisle in her youth, as so many others have and continue to do.
One of the standout pieces in the sleepwear collection is a luxe mulberry silk slip with an all-over Barbie print representing the many faces of Barbie and her ability to be everything she dreams of being.
Thanks to many co-branded Barbie fashion collections that are being released in anticipation of the upcoming movie, fans can stylishly outfit themselves from day to night.
