Heather Fonseca Designer Spotlight Barbie

The Designer Spotlight? series features the unique design aesthetics of Mattel's most talented doll artists. Heather Fonseca has created the second doll in the series and her love of art history is reflected in the elegance and classicism of this orginal design. Barbie? wears an elegant floor length black gown that closes in the back with small snaps. The fitted bodice is made of black faille, trimmed with black velvet ribbon. That same ribbon is used as shoulder straps for the gown. The top skirt is made of black panne velvet with multiple bustles on the right side, creating a flowing and full effect. This top skirt is longer in the back, forming a subtle train. The top skirt is split in the front at the waistline to reveal a black and off-white foile print taffeta underskirt. Accessories include black spiked pumps, long stretch charmeuse gloves in natural white, and a black ribbon choker necklace tied in a small bow in front, accented with a delicate silver rhinestone.
