What is Barbiecore?
Barbie-mania has taken over the world! With the upcoming Barbie film by Greta Gerwig, starring Margot Robbie (She’s everything) & Ryan Gosling (He’s just Ken), the bright colour of Barbie pink is adding some much-needed pop of colour to Australia’s winter season. So what is Barbiecore?
Since the beginning, Barbie has been a fashion icon. So it’s no surprise that the Barbiecore trend includes bright, fun and unashamedly hyper-feminine aesthetics. From head to toe, it’s all about exaggerated pink, glitter and more pink.
Inspired by the Barbie film, here are our top picks for how you can incorporate Barbiecore pink into your home and bookshelf! Explore our whole collection here.
