After the Marque quilt auction, I headed to the Uniqlo event at Somerset House (thanks to Odd design for the invite) and literally 80% of the London fashionistas there, were carrying a Barbie Doll goody-bag...............I think they should set up an website for them to do swaps............Im sure not everyone was content with the distribution of thier designated design..............?
Barbie’s 50th anniversary celebrations continue with the opening of a dedicated space in Dover Street Market curated by Henry Holland. Adjacent to the main storefront and visible through the windows, a play on proportion sees an oversize sculpture of Barbie applying her lipstick, seemingly coming out of the floor, reduce the enclosed adult Barbie merchandise to appear miniature. It is only upon entering the space, you realise the true dimensions. Figurative sculptor Martin Smeaton is working as part of the team from Andy Hillman Studio to design and bring the window element to life.
