Considering Barbie is known for her keen sense of style, there was no shortage of glitzy and glamorous getups displayed on-screen
But putting together the ensembles for the film is basically what childhood dreams are made of.
"My main inspiration was the Barbie catalog," Durran revealed."I tried to do a comprehensive sweep of different Barbie looks. One example was all the white and gold Barbie costumes from the '60s to the '90s for the block party. I chose the strongest looks with the best hair ornaments and lots of frills, particularly ones that were uniquely Barbie."
She continued,"Creating the fashion for this movie was so special, and I wanted to make sure I honored the rich history of the doll and its many style iterations over the years.", replicating the whimsical color palettes and dress shapes of the era."All the Barbies wear retro dresses of different designs," she said, noting,"The early '60s style pink gingham dress is one of my favorites.
And while it may have been challenging to figure out which pieces to narrow down, Durran made sure that every item felt true to Barbie. "Barbie's wardrobe comes from her love of clothes," she explained."She wears outfits because she enjoys dressing up and always dresses perfectly for whatever she is doing. Barbie's style is playful and full of joy. It is over the top and, perhaps, looks superficial but it's actually a big part of her character."
