The Art of Barbie shows what happens when you ask the leading lights of fashion, art and photography to create their interpretation of Barbie, the original supermodel, for her 40th anniversary and the new millennium.

This publication showcases a vibrant improvisation on the theme of Barbie, it confirms her status as cultural catalyst whilst raising funds and awareness for the Sir Elton John’s Aids Foundation, which commissioned the book on the occasion of Barbie’s milestone birthday. Includes forewords by Sir Elton John and Victoria Beckham.
