Stephen Jones' Christmas Barbie Dolls Are Ready for the Holidays
Laura McQuarrie — November 13, 2013 — Life-Stages
These Christmas Barbie Dolls designed by hatmaker Stephen Jones bring a fashionable twist to the holiday season. Although Barbie could probably still make an ugly Christmas sweater charming, these Barbie Christmas outfits are a touch more glamorous than what you might wear to a holiday family gathering.
Jones' collection of five Barbies are dressed in gorgeous cocktail dresses, full-length gowns and velvet mini dresses that Barbie might be a little chilly in, if she was not standing beside a cozy fireplace. Nonetheless, the looks are whimsical, fun and full of fantasy. One of the looks turns Barbie into a reindeer, complete with fashionable fur accessories, an outrageous antler headdress and red accents.
Each one of these fun festive Barbie outfits retails for $250 and will be sold through the Selfridges London Toy Shop, beginning on November 15th.
