Barbie and other dolls in wardrobes have been designed by contemporary legends such as Margiela, Byron Lars, Jason Wu, and Viktor \u0026amp; Rolf. While dolls and fashion have long been intertwined, the 2023 release of the film \u003ci\u003eBarbie\u003c\/i\u003e created a shockwave through popular culture on the way to grossing $1.45 billion globally. This book goes beyond just the popularity of dolls to explore “dollification”—achieved through clothing, accessories, hair, makeup, and even movement and gesture—to challenge stereotypes of beauty, gender, age, and race.\u003cbr\u003eLong before Barbie changed how we play, dolls and fashion shared a history. In sixteenth-century Europe, dolls were exchanged and collected by royals, a way to show off the latest styles of one court to another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong before magazines, dolls spread fashion trends to dressmakers in France and Italy. In the nineteenth century, dolls became popular toys for girls. Fashion dolls have been studied for their role in promoting or reflecting historical fashion, particularly because doll clothing often survives longer than full-size clothes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith brilliant new photography, neon pink pages, and a special clear hardcover case, this book is a jewel-box addition to any doll-lovers’ shelf. | \u003cb\u003eColleen Hill\u003c\/b\u003e is senior curator of costume at The Museum at FIT. \u003cb\u003eValerie Steele\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of the museum;\u003cb\u003e Elizabeth Way\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePatricia Mears\u003c\/b\u003e are curators at FIT. \u003cb\u003eChristophe Koné\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eFrank New\u003c\/b\u003e are academics and writers. \u003cb\u003eLynn Yaeger\u003c\/b\u003e is contributing fashion editor to \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVogue.com\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Rizzoli Electa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48759451582693,"sku":"NP9780847877263","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780847877263.jpg?v=1775598601","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/doll-dressing-isbn-9780847877263","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
