Fashion lovers and Barbie collectors: get ready. Mattel is partnering with iconic Brooklyn-based artist and designer Colm Dillane, AKA KidSuper, for the trendiest Ken we have ever seen.
KidSuper is best known for being a leader in streetwear fashion, so him designing the first Ken doll to be part of Barbie’s Styled By series is only right. The designer is appreciated in the fashion scene for his hand-drawn artistry, unique experimentation, and powerful collaborations with fashion powerhouses.
