Karen Walker Wants Your Help To Dress Barbie (For Real)

Renowned designer Karen Walker has built a global following for her eponymous ready-to-wear fashion, eyewear, jewellery, bags, fragrances, celebrity-filled front rows and inspiring campaigns. Now she’s got her sights set on dressing a global icon who shares her love of fashion: Barbie.

To celebrate Barbie’s birthday this year, marie claire has teamed up with Karen Walker to create Barbie’s outfit of dreams—an outfit that truly inspires, encourages self-expression and embodies personal style.

And we need your help to bring it to life!

Barbie is inviting kids (aged 12 or under) to be part of the process and submit their own outfit ideas and visions of an ‘outfit of dreams’ to inspire Karen.

The winning design will not only be the creative inspiration behind the outfit, they will get to keep the custom-made Barbie outfit crafted by Karen Walker, and be gifted a Barbie prize pack valued up to $200. We will also be giving away 10 Barbie prize packs to runners-up.
