At home with Barbie – these are the pieces of furniture and design classics from the film
by Pia Seidel
Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie have given this summer the rose-tinted glasses treatment. To match, I bring you five pieces of jewellery that Barbie (and Ken) would love.
It's usually hits or drinks that dominate a summer, but this year it's two films. "Barbenheimer" is the magic word - which you may have long since stopped hearing. Clearly ahead in the neck-and-neck race between Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" is currently the squeaky-pink homage to Mattel's much-loved cult doll.
The hype is not only based on the film's socially critical, witty and thoroughly self-deprecating message, but above all on the truly infinite attention to detail in terms of set design and wardrobe. For example, my colleague Pia discovered one or two furniture classics in Barbie's three-storey Dreamhouse during her visit to the cinema.
In contrast, the prototype Barbie's wardrobe and outfits almost made me pink with envy - even though I find her favourite colour in the real world a little difficult to deal with. If you feel the same way, why not help yourself to Barbie's accessories? Because even her jewellery box has a lot to offer.

In addition to Barbie, Ken has a second passion: horses. His horseshoe necklace leaves no doubt about it. [[image:75265135 "Image: © 2023 Warner Bros. Ent. All Rights Reserved; © 2023 Mattel"]] [[product:16178351]]
