Catering to Barbie’s every whim and loving it!
With Barbie now well ensconced in her parlors, bedrooms, and other habitats, with a wardrobe to kill, and Ken as onlooker–it was time for thinking of food & pink! An award ceremony honoring those who catered many long months to Barbie’s every fashion whim in all its dimensions, took place May 10 in the Katie Murphy Amphitheater. Cotton candy, pink cupcakes, pop corn, pink drinks, watermelon and strawberries were served to a jubilant gathering of students and FIT faculty.
“Play with Fashion” encompassed student work from multiple Art & Design departments. For the Visual Presentation & Exhibition Design (VPED) department, their installation would serve as the graduating exhibition.
- Meanwhile, Barbie luxuriates in her many settings and styles in the lobby of the D Building.
- Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the pinkest of them all?
Admirers (l-r) Colette Wong, Chair, Karen Scheetz, Assist. Chair, and Prof. Eileen Karp all of Fashion Design caught on camera fawning over Barbie’s new digs and finery.
