We also spotted a group shot of Eric Delos Santos‘ bridal Barbies, and asked him about his take on designing for the 50-year-old doll.
“My inspiration for my Barbie collection is DREAM WEDDINGS.”
“I love doing weddings! These are mini-versions of the weddings gowns that I’ve made for real brides in the past.”
“I played with flowers, texture, lines, cottons, and layers.”
I think what makes designing for Barbie especially fun is that you’re at liberty to go overboard on the volume. She consumes less fabric, making it easier on the design budget, plus you don’t have to worry about her tripping on her skirt or complaining about the weight. She just stands and looks absolutely pretty in her wedding gown.
I imagine Eric having a field day with these pint-sized ball gowns. I wish I had his number when my dolls were still in action! What would Ken wear?
