Barbie has had a makeover just in time for Christmas, thanks to milliner Stephen Jones.
The hat- maker has created five new looks for the doll including Snow Globe Barbie and Christmas Tree Barbie.
"Barbie is the most fabulous private client," said Jones. "She came into the salon for her Christmas morning hat and left with five glamorous outfits! Barbie and I have the same design vision; we love tradition, but have an eye for the future."
Each of the Barbie dolls is priced at £250 ( €298.50) and they will be launched at Selfridge's London Toy Shop on 15 November.
"We're enamoured with the idea of truly one-of-a-kind gifts this Christmas," said Selfridges' head of accessories, childrenswear and toys, Erin Moscow. "More than ever before we're aware of the demand for pieces which offer something really special. These pieces don't necessarily come with a million-pound price tag - they're not about ostentatiousness - their beauty lies in their rarity. All of the storytelling and fantasy of Stephen's work, realised with fun and witticism that's synonymous with Barbie, has gone into these beautiful dolls."
Other designers that have previously collaborated with Barbie include Prada, Azzedine Alaïa, Comme des Garçons, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.
Here at Her.ie headquarters we are particularly fond of Snow Globe Barbie...have a flick through the gallery above to see Stephen's vision of Barbie at Christmas.
