I came from a generation of "walking dolls" (that creepily open and close their eyes) and later, my addiction with "game and watch". It was when I had my daughter that I got introduced to Barbie. My daughter were given several Barbie dolls by relatives, and I remember buying her toddler stuffs with Barbie design.
To mark the 121st celebration of Philippine Independence, there will be an exhibit that will celebrate Pinoy fashion and freedom -- FILIPINA BEAUTY WITH BARBIE! In this exhibit you will witness what the iconic doll Barbie would look like in a Filipino-designed ensemble.
Here are some interesting reasons why you mommies, together with your kids, should check out SM North Edsa's The Block Pinoy Barbie exhibit:
1. It is a fashion experience like no other. Witness an exhibit of Barbie dolls dressed in mixed contemporary high-fashion and streetwear inspired by the country's rich culture, tradition and heritage.
2. Filipino fashion designers in action. Be amazed by a collection of exclusive designs made by the country's most sought-after filipino fashion designers -- Rajo Laurel, Mark Tumang, John Herrera, Anthony Ramirez and Martin Bautista among others.
3. A handiwork of expert Filipino doll artists. The Barbie collection will be "dolled up" using the skills and craftmanship of remarkable doll artists -- Alvin Dave Ocampo, Christoper Flores, Eric Benito, Arvy Labrador, Marc Vandro and Precious Juliet Mirafuentes.
4. A design competition on contemporary couture. In collaboration with the promising talents of Fashion Institute of the Philippines, Institute of Creative Entrepreneurship Fashion Arts Design and Fashion Designers Alliance the exhibit will showcase Barbie doll outfits made of indigenous and recyclable materials.
