With just a short time left until Director Greta Gerwig’s Barbie hits theater, Barbie fever is spiking across the nation.
We can’t get enough of this behind the scenes tour of the Barbie DreamHouse that Architectural Digest snagged with star Margot Robbie as she walks us through the real life model Barbie home. All the touches and the thoughtful details of pink make your childhood Barbie home come to live. It is so thrilling to see this vision come alive. When Greta Gerwig was tasked with bringing these iconic childhood toys to life on the big screen, she enlisted the skills of production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer. The designers took inspiration from Palm Springs midcentury modernism, which they’ve used to create a whimsical fuchsia pink fantasy where slides replace stairs, with not a wall in sight. Watching the tour of this impressive set it’s hard not to feel a rush of playful nostalgia
Additionally if you’ve been loving the Barbie trailer and all the wardrobe we’ve had a glimpse at, you’ll be ecstatic to know that Bloomingdales is releasing a limited Barbie collection with wardrobe pieces from the film itself.
