This year's Italian Doll Convention in Milan was marked by a notable event, namely the auction sale (via ebay.us) of a unique Golden Blush Barbie OOAK doll designed by famous Mattel designer Bill Greening. This OOAK doll was created exclusively for the event and raised an impressive final bid of €3,300 (+- US$3,500), a significant contribution to the convention's charitable efforts.
The Golden Blush Barbie OOAK doll is a vision of elegance and luxury, adorned in a shimmering dress that embodies the essence of Barbie's signature style. The dress is intricately detailed with tonal sequins and lace, accented with crystals that add a golden shimmer to the pale blush fabric. This double-layered dress is finished with sequined shoulders and puffed sleeves, creating a textured and dramatic silhouette that captures the essence of high fashion.
The doll's attractiveness is complemented by her accessories: a matching handbag decorated with rhinestones, a sparkling necklace, dangling earrings and chic high heels. Her red hair in a high ponytail accentuates her glamorous look, making her a true beauty.
Featuring a Model Muse body and Claudette face sculpt, this OOAK doll was handcrafted at Mattel for the highest level of quality and attention to detail. Every element of the Golden Blush Barbie OOAK doll reflects the craftsmanship and dedication of its creator, making it a highly prized collector's item.
The auction, held in conjunction with the Italian Doll Convention, was aligned with the event's mission to generate significant support for the chosen charities. Convention attendees and Barbie enthusiasts from around the world were excited to participate, motivated by the opportunity to own a unique piece of Barbie history while contributing to an important cause.
The successful auction of the Golden Blush Barbie OOAK doll not only highlights Barbie's enduring appeal and cultural significance, but also highlights the power of creativity and generosity in making a positive impact.
