Balmain x Barbie NFT Capsule collection. Review by RUNWAY MAGAZINE.
Today Balmain x Barbie announced a new experience – a capsule NFT collection created by Mattel Creations. These 3 pieces are the result of a distinctly multicultural, inclusive, and joy-filled adventure. Featuring almost entirely unisex designs in Barbie pink hues, the ready-to-wear designs embrace a playful twist on the Balmain “New French Style”. While a unique NFT auction hosted by Mintnft official brings the collaboration into the collectible digital space, with exclusive Barbie-scaled versions of 3 Balmain looks.
The auction, hosted by Mintnft official, features 3 Barbie avatars, each wearing an exclusive creation from the capsule imagined in collaboration with Mattel Creations. The highest bidder of each auction will receive exclusive ownership of both the avatar and a real life Barbie-scaled version of the featured look.
As 3 these looks announced as unisex they can be used on Barbie or on Ken.

It is another step Barbie brand takes into the feature. Olivier Rousteing, “creative” director of Balmain, couldn’t miss a change and for this occasion produced a doll of himself and presented it as a Ken, imagining himself as a perfect fit for Barbie.
