Review: Barbie Takes the cat walk - Amazing book showing real fashions that inspired the designers of Mattel. No doubt all those years ago when Barbie was introduced to the world, they had no idea that she would be collected by adults and not just a toy for little girls to enjoy the amazing fashions. Review: Good Concept for a book - I liked this book a lot. There are loads of Barbie books out there and I thought this was a great idea. It is a good size book and I really liked the retro pics in it. I wish it had more from the 60's, especially the Mod looks, as this is the area I am interested in. ## Features - Binding: hardcover - Language: english - Manufacturer: Weldon owen, incorporated - Brand: Weldon owen, incorporated - Publication date: 2023-10-03T00:00:01Z - Manufacturer: Weldon Owen, Incorporated - Brand: Weldon Owen, Incorporated ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #391,209 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,311 in Women's Studies #1,566 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 58 Reviews | ## Images ![Barbie Takes the Catwalk A Style Icon's History in Fashion: A Style Icon's History in Fashion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hJriyO27L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barbie Takes the cat walk *by M***Y on 29 August 2024* Amazing book showing real fashions that inspired the designers of Mattel.
