Product description
“Pink for a Cause
This one-of-a-kind Pink Diamond™ Barbie Doll By The Blonds debuted last night at New York Fashion Week, during the duo’s epic fashion show! The pink-tastic OOAK version of the Blond Diamond Barbie will be up for auction at CharityBuzz through 9/25 to support the MAC AIDS Fund.”
This doll is an all-pink version of the Blonds Blond Diamond™ Barbie, which came out earlier in the year 2012. Only one was ever made, and was apparently “hand-encrusted” by the Blonds themselves. Initially donated by Mattel, it was set up for auction at CharityBuzz with the proceeds going to the M.A.C. Cosmetics AIDS Fund. By the end of the auction, the bidding ended at $15,000, and it was apparently stipulated that it could not be re-sold or re-auctioned by the buyer.
“Celebrity fashion designers Phillipe and David Blond have shrunken their clothing for a much smaller client: Barbie. Known for their fun and glamorous approach to fashion, the team, known as The Blonds, have given Barbie a pink diamond touch you won’t see in toy stores… Barbie’s dress and pumps, made of fuschia and rose gems, were “hand embellished by The Blonds themselves,” a company statement says. Her look includes a faux fur coat, pink stud earrings and sparkling ring. A collector’s item, the doll includes a display case and certificate of authenticity.”
