The Barbie doll has been a beauty icon since her creation in 1959. Easily identifiable by her long-limbed, disproportionate body, her voluminous hair, long lashes, and pink lipstick, she is currently celebrating her 55th birthday—although she will never look a day over eighteen.
Subject to criticism over the past decades, Barbie has been scrutinized for portraying unrealistic beauty images. Yet, if truth be told, who wouldn’t want mannequin-perfect skin and a jaw-dropping hip to waist ratio? As Jeremy Scott pays homage to Barbie for his Spring 2015 collection for Moschino, it’s time to embrace your inner dolly. High ponytails, a plethora of pinks, and matchy-matchy lips and nails—come on Barbie, let’s go party.
