Its fashionista personality let it not just wear a various selection of pieces that designers created just for her, but it has also been a muse and inspiration to many of them. More recently, Moschino’s Jeremy Scott designed a collection characterized by the pinkish colours associated to the blond doll and Barbie logo boldly printed on the garments, and Maison Martin Margiela F/W 1994/1995 collection featured a reproduction in scale of the doll’s clothes.
