Aside from her new posse of stylish friends, if you needed any more proof that Barbie truly is a 21st century woman, we’ve got it. Film maker, Grace Ladoja, was invited to tell the story of Barbie today. She put together the short titled ‘Loving The Crew’, and we’re quite smitten.
Based in Shoreditch, Grace’s star is rising as a film-maker and told Grazia she loves "supporting women who have made their own paths in life.” Constantly inspired by her own girlfriends, who Grace describes as both ‘role models and mentors’, Grace captured their spirit of independence and camaraderie for the film.
Starring Carri Munden, the stylist, art director and digital expert behind hot brand Cassette Playa, Yoon, the designer who created the must-have jewellery line Ambush and Sharmadean Read who founded WAH Nails, Grace and her posse perfectly sum up the spirit of Barbie and her many incarnations. The new Barbie Fashionista range represents the world that girls see around them today.
Considering Barbie’s CV includes fashion editor, astronaut, UNICEF Ambassador and presidential candidate, we’d say Mattel’s band of creative, sassy spirited women perfectly captures her adventurous, go-getting attitude. As Grace shows, as long as we’ve got the support of our girlfriends, that glass ceiling doesn’t stand a chance.
