Mattel The Great Eras Collection Barbie Victorian Lady 1996

About the Item

In 1995, a Barbie doll emerged from the annals of history as a testament to the grace and elegance of a bygone era. It is Victorian Lady, a prized piece from Mattel's Great Era Collection. This Barbie transcends the realm of mere toys; she is a work of art, a collector's dream, a symbol of timeless beauty. Wrapped in an era of grandeur and sophistication, this Victorian Lady Barbie exudes an air of sophistication that transports her to the opulent days of the 19th century. Her dress, a masterpiece , is a vision of lace, velvetand ruffles. It is a tribute to an era when fashion was a statement of one's status and taste. Her ensemble is a symphony of colors and textures, with lace delicately adorning the bodice and sleeves and satin flowing gracefully down to the ankles. Accessories are meticulously detailed, from the delicate gloves to the elegant ornamentation in the hair of ribbons and flowers. Every detail is a nod to the Victorian penchant for embellishment and intricacy. But what sets this Barbie apart is not just her attire; it is the fact that she has never left her box, sealed and preserved in its original state, a treasure untouched by time. Her box, a testament to the art of presentation, is a window to the past, adorned with pictures and drawings that transport to the Victorian era.

  • Barbie(TM): The World Tour
    Located in New York, NY
    Author Margot Robbie and Andrew Mukamal, Photographs by Craig McDean, Foreword by Edward Enninful, Introduction by Margaret Zhang, Afterword by Greta Gerwig For the press tour following the record-breaking release of Greta Gerwig’s award-winning, acclaimed Barbie movie, producer and star Margot Robbie and her stylist Andrew Mukamal immersed themselves in some of Barbie’s most iconic outfits and curated vintage pieces, then approached designers, from Giorgio Armani to Donatella Versace, to create looks inspired by the doll-size originals. Many of these looks were not seen as the official Barbie press tour was cut short—so Margot and Andrew worked with renowned fashion photographer Craig McDean to shoot her in the looks exactly as they were curated: Schiaparelli in Los Angeles, Vivienne Westwood in London, vintage Chanel with matching Steamline luggage at the airport, and beyond. Accompanying McDean’s sumptuous photography are original Barbie dolls...
