.VeraWang has been made into a doll as part of The Barbie Tribute Collection to honor her contributions to the fashion industry.
While Barbie has worn designs by Vera Wang in the past, including an evening gown in 1998 and bridal gowns in 1997, 2008 and 2011, this is the first doll created in Wang’s likeness, honoring not only her designs but her accomplishments as a businesswoman. The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Wang has discussed learning fashion and work ethic from her family before attending university.
When Wang opened her own boutique, designing bridal gowns and eveningwear she emphasized designs that would celebrate and move with a woman’s silhouette. She has gone on to receive numerous awards for her powerful contributions to the fashion industry including recognition from the Council of Fashion Designers of America as Womenswear Designer of the Year in 2005 and the Legion of Honor from France.
The Barbie Tribute Collection Vera Wang Barbie Doll is available now in the online shop as a Mattel Creations exclusive. The doll sells for $40.
