Vintage Barbie Doll Four Decades of Fashion, Fantasy, and Fun Book by Marco Tosa

Description: This auction is for a Barbie doll reference book called BARBIE FOUR DECADES OF FASHION, FANTASY AND FUN by Marco Tosa in new condition! Remember ``After Five''? ``Solo in the Spotlight''? Classic Barbie fashions, and they werent created in a fashion vacuum. This new book shows how Barbies outfits over the decades have emulated those designed by real designers and worn by real women. See Barbies Plantation Belle'' outfit juxtaposed with a photograph of Grace Kelly in High Society, or her Givenchy- style bubble dress next to the real thing photographed on a fashion model in Venice. ``Red Flare'' drew on Balenciagas styles for Jacqueline Kennedy, the A-line dresses and pillbox hats that distinguished her wardrobe. Barbies huge wardrobe never shied away from questionable taste if that was the style of the day, writes Tosa, an international doll expert who teaches at the Venice Academy of the Arts. On the contrary, the Mattel clothing designers shamelessly hedge their bets on the public reactions to fashion trends. For fashion mavents and Barbie fans alike, a nostalgic trip down memory lane The book sustains normal storage wear and has a small partial discolored part on top side of dust cover. Please read description carefully and ask necessary questions before placing a bid as there will be no returns allowed on Barbie books. Thanks!
