…That the subject of tonight’s season two Project Runway episode, titled “All Dolled Up” involves designing a fashion for BarbieTM? And why not: Barbie puts all other supermodels (especially those her age) to shame. As “Barbie” is, by far, the most licensed trade name of all time (yes, even eclipsing Star WarsTM).
Further, while I have no personal experience here, I understand collector Barbie fashions draw prices befitting those commonly worn by her life-size (and, in fact, living – although sometimes it may not seem so) contemporaries.
Update: I was right!
Update 2: I’m happy to see that our designers are being judged on the full-scale versions of their work, as – from my tangental involvement with this – I know to-scale fabrics are hard to come by.
