  Barbie and fashion. 1959-1966

  From the time of her creation in 1959 and throughout the 60’s, Barbie’s wardrobe was inspired by the styles of the biggest designers, including Dior, Chanel, Balenciaga… Barbie then went on to adopt the styles that were in vogue each decade. Her image changed over time, and she took on new roles: she was at once a professional and a mother, a career woman, an artist and an athlete. Golden Age of Couture. Paris, London, 1947-1957. The golden age has given the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec an excuse to put together this presentation which showcases the work of Denis Allison, the MNBAQ’s main designer. This collection features Barbie’s first period of production (1959- 1966), when the fashions she sported were refined in style and cut as well as through the fabrics and accessories used. Always on the cutting edge, the famous doll has influenced the fashion world for over 50 years. The Barbie and fashion. 1959-1966 exhibit will allow the public at large to rediscover some of her most memorable outfits
