Product description
“Phillipe and David Blond believe that every woman should be glamorous every day. The platinum designers create scintillating styles for starlets: gem-encrusted bodysuits; crystal corsets; mini-dresses lavishly embellished with stars, chains, spikes, and sequins. Fun fashion and rock & roll glam are the only rules for these gorgeous garments. Our favorite blonde celebrates The Blonds, dressed for an amazing adventure. Barbie wears a stunning silvery mini corset dress-designed by The Blonds themselves-featuring countless sculpted faux gems and a full length faux fox fur. Of course, luscious blonde curls frame her beautiful face. Accessories include silvery jewelry suite and glitter pumps. Pretty, provocative, and magical, The Blonds Blond Diamond™ Barbie brings the most sparkly splendor of fashion. The corset is non-removable.”
This doll is Limited Edition Gold Label, with no more than 5,100 produced worldwide.
The Blonds Blond Diamond Barbie™ was designed and inspired by the style and ultimate glamour Phillipe Blond (left) and David Blond (right), whom are partners and co-designers of their fashion brand the Blonds. The outfit itself is a bejeweled corset and long faux-fur coat which was worn by Candice Swanepoel in the Blonds Fall 2008 show, and was apparently sold for $35,000 (New York Times).

Notes:
Here is some relevant media featuring the Blonds Blond Diamond Barbie, such as magazine covers, article quotes, and the original runway look. The doll was on the cover of the Barbie Collector catalog magazine Fall 2012 issue: “A Real Dazzler, The Blonds Blond Diamond™ Barbie Doll.”
“It appears you’re never too old to play with dolls. The Blonds created a blingy Barbie inspired by the final outfit from their debut fall 2008 show, worn by Candice Swanepoel. The über-pretty figurine goes on pre-sale today for $125 at BarbieCollector.com and will be ready for delivery in late November/early December, just in time to treat your niece (or, um, yourself) to a festive holiday gift.
The team behind The Blonds, Phillipe and David Blond, are famed for their glitzy garb and bejeweled corsets. The Blonds Barbie mirrors this aesthetics with her Old Hollywood-chic ensemble: A gem-encrusted mini dress, long faux fur coat with hot pink satin lining, and spangly accessories.”
