Barbie celebrates the supermodel's 50th birthday with designer tribute dolls dressed in Versace and Balmain

Supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/happy-birthday-claudia-schiffer-50-looks-for-the-50th-birthday-of-the-fashion-icon">Claudia Schiffer</a> is getting two new&nbsp;Barbies in her likeness in celebration of her 50th birthday. The runway icon already received the Barbie treatment in 2017, when the company released a Versace-wearing Claudia doll. Now,&nbsp;her tribute dolls will be outfitted with custom ensembles by <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/wonder-women-in-conversation-with-donatella-versace">Donatella Versace</a> and Oliver Rousteing of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/kimk-balmain-latex">Balmain</a>.

The designers took inspiration from the model&#39;s past favourite looks. Donatella delved into the archive,&nbsp;adapting a Versace dress that Schiffer wore when&nbsp;walking the label&rsquo;s Fall/Winter&nbsp;1994 show. She created what Schiffer describes as a &ldquo;dreamy, blue dress with a signature Versace corset bodice&rdquo; for the doll to wear. Meanwhile, Donatella Versace said&nbsp;of Schiffer&#39;s runway moment,&nbsp;&ldquo;The whole world immediately saw her as the personification of Barbie. Two strong women who do not need to be empowered by anyone.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Rousteing&nbsp;echoed that sentiment, saying that he and the Balmain Army&nbsp;are constantly inspired by Schiffer&rsquo;s confidence and individuality. The Balmain dress featured on Schiffer&rsquo;s Barbie is a recreation of the dress worn by the supermodel in the Maison&#39;s 2016 campaign, an embellished black look with a waist-cinching belt and dramatic criss-cross details.&nbsp;

Schiffer says that this&nbsp;unique birthday gift is an honour that holds sentimentality,&nbsp;as her earliest childhood encounters with fashion were&nbsp;dressing up her own Barbie dolls.

Sadly, though,&nbsp;the Claudia Barbies are not up for grabs &mdash; these models will exist&nbsp;exclusively as an editorial for the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/barbiestyle/">@BarbieStyle</a>&nbsp;Instagram page. Just like Schiffer, they are truly one of a kind.
