The Barbie Renaissance 💝
This film. This film is so flipping good. Yesterday was the second time I watched it and I think, if possible, I enjoyed it just as much or even more than the first. You can peel back the layers and analyse it endlessly or just sit along for the funnest ride. This film is genius! and I can’t believe I had the honour of working with the genius that is Greta Gerwig. My God, imma cherish that forever.
@pppiccioli I can’t think of enough words to thank you for the beautiful art you created yesterday. It was so perfectly playful and beautiful in equal measure, Twas the perfect nod to the film and to Ken 🤠 I wore custom Valentino and felt like the luckiest Ken in Barbieland 🥹 ✨
Also thank you to @charlottetilbury for giving me that doll glow
