The Barbie range falls under the company’s new ‘Whatever Kidz’ banner.

Included in the collection are a denim skirt and jacket, a striped shirt, a dress, cap and ‘KEN’ t-shirt.

“Each launch will celebrate our optimistic spirit of individuality and connection through creative expression and play,” said Christopher Goble, Head of Merchandising at Gap.

“With the explosion of Barbiecore and the post-Covid obsession with home décor, this is the perfect moment to consider the Dreamhouse’s cultural impact and legacy,” said co-editor Whitney Mallett.

“My first experience with fashion was dressing a Barbie doll and collaborating with them on a full collection will definitely be the highlight of my career,” said Sabaji.

The range includes an Autumn Adeibgo headband, a candle from NETTE and shoes by Larroude – with proceeds going to the Barbie Dream Gap Project.
