“I love that this concept strikes a balance between dreams and reality,” she told British Vogue. “Getting to be a part of her embracing flats for the first time made it extra exciting.” The shoe news she’s referring to is the summer reveal that Barbie’s ankles would now be articulated, allowing her to switch between heels and flats (finally!).
Webster called the range a “dream project” and, honestly, we should’ve known it was coming. She hinted at the news to fashion reporters not too long ago with a sly pledge of love to Barbie.
