We were thinking of the Blackgama adage, “What becomes a legend most?” the other night when attending the festive launch of the eclectic über stylist Patricia Field's (of Sex in The City fame) dolled up, unapologetically fun collection of clothing and accessories for Mattel’s Barbie™ .
The answer is… the legend just keeps on fashionably going.
At the predominately “Painkiller Pink” tinted House of Field’s boutique on the Bowery in the NYC’s hip downtown neighborhood, two different women’s contemporary lines debuted that will have Barbie® fans and Field’s cult followers ringing the register.
For glamourish gals the Barbie Luxe™ by Patricia Field™ on display came in four striking themes of Black and White Tapestry Print, Gold and Pewter quilted Barbie® pattern, a retro Barbie® and a pony tailed Barbie® silhouette logos. We could definitely see ourselves or our too cool for school teenage nieces wanting to scoop up these prints on the affordable classic zip-up jackets and hoodies, bold metallic embroidered and faux croc handbags, adorable little black dresses, thermal printed tops, and sparkling jewelry. This collection is also available at Macy’s East .
Between bites of sugar laden marshmallows and pink M&M’s, we also had a chance to admire the models strolling through the boutique. Ready for a night of clubbing, these edgy ladies were attired in Barbie Wear™ by Patricia Field (available at Hot Topic stores)-a Junior collection of stretchy black minis, T shirts and accessories that surely makes the iconic Barbie ready for 2008.
It should be noted that the “Ken” bartenders were/are not available for purchase.
