Aqua put it best when they said, “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.” Now, almost 30 years later, the entire known universe is drowning in pink as Barbie fever takes over the world once again. Barbie isn’t just a fashion icon — she might be the fashion icon. As the world gears up for a new Barbie adventure on the big screen, her style and influence are working their way back into all facets of fashion, from high fashion runways to cool and effortless street style.
Australia’s no exception — hot pink absolutely dominated Australian Fashion Week, and now even some of our favourite Aussie brands are getting in on the fantasy. Melbourne icons Rollie Nation has teamed up with Barbie to deliver a new apparel range that’s both tactical and unapologetically Barbie.
Here are the best pieces of the collection, so you can live the ultimate comfy chic Barbie fantasy.
Barbie Bolster
Coming in iconic pink with easy-to-wear neutrals, the Bolster is the ultimate in versatile sneakers. The padded tongue and collar also mean there’s no break in time, and the anti-slip gum outsole will keep you on your feet.
Barbie Chelsea Utility Boot
For those who are on the go or on the clock, the Barbie Chelsea Utility Boot is a must-have. Bold, chunky outsoles keep things functional, but those divine, subtle touches of pink means you won’t be compromising on fashion.
Rollie Nation x Barbie T-Shirt
The range’s T-Shirt is an iconic staple for your wardrobe, coming in both black and white and for both men and women. With a subtle front-facing design and bold text on the back, this is a piece that can truly be taken from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed.
Go for the white tee if you’re after something bright and bouncy, and go for the black if you’re keeping things chic and classy.
Rollie Nation x Barbie Hoodie and Sweatpants
Rollie Nation‘s new range is for everyone, whether you want bold and bright streetwear or you want to play things a little more subtle. These Rollie Nation x Barbie hoodies and sweatpants are the pinnacle of comfy couture, coming in both pink and oatmeal options. Pair them to pull off the cozy chic Barbiecore fantasy, or rock them individually for something a little less casual.
Rollie Nation x Barbie Socks
An accessory for those who don’t need too much to stand out. These socks — in quintessential Malibu pink — are perfect to pair with an all-black look and the Barbie Bolster sneakers for a chill fit with an extra pop.
Rollie Nation x Barbie Scarf
For the finishing touch, this 100% silk scarf is as chic as it is versatile. Whether you’re wearing it around your neck, tying your hair up with it, or even accessorising your bag, it’s a great way to take your look to the next level with just one extra detail.
Rollie Nation x Barbie Cap
To *ahem* cap off any look, venture no further than the Rollie Nation x Barbie Cap. With a durable 6-panel design, and adjustable straps for all Barbies and Kens alike, this cap is the perfect accessory to grab as your heading out the door. Barbie can do it all, and this cap will keep you stylish and sun-protected from whatever your version of “doing it all” entails.
