Barbie x Sophia Webster

Love London

In a match made in sartorial heaven, London's darling of footwear Sophia Webster has joined forces with the world's greatest style icon to created a new collection...

To celebrate the fact that Barbie can wear flat shoes for the very the first time - with a new articulated ankle feature - Sophia has designed a coordinating collection of women's and children's shoes, on sale now in Selfridges'.

The six adult styles comprise two sneakers, one flat sandals and three heels (she couldn't resist...) including the completely dreamy Chiara sandal, with its signature butterfly-adorned stiletto heel, along with three children’s versions, each derivative of their adult counterpart. I'm a little bit in love with the hot pink Leah stilettos (pictured above) - surely an essential purchase...

Sophia Webster says of the collaboration: "Creating a shoe collection for Barbie has always been my dream project, but getting to be a part of her embracing flats for the first time made it extra exciting, and deeply personal. I love that this concept strikes a balance between dreams and reality - the idea of getting Barbie in some hi-tops and setting her loose in East London instantly appealed."

Of course, no collaboration with Barbie is complete without a doll, and Sophia Webster has dressed a limited edition Barbie. Housed in a specially designed box, the Barbie by Sophia Webster doll wears a pair of ‘Riko' hi-top glitter sneakers, behind which other miniature-sized style options are displayed.
