Mattel unveiled the first Ken in Barbie’s Styled by series, and the Styled by KidSuper Ken Doll sports a look from the Spring/Summer 2021 Everything’s Fake Until It’s Real claymation show at Paris Fashion Week. Ken’s outfit inspired by Brooklyn designer Colm Dillane—also known as KidSuper—features a brightly colored jacket with retro graphics of Barbie and Ken, boldly patterned pants and a cap. Exclusively available via Mattel Creations, the Styled by KidSuper Ken Doll is a statement piece for fashion fans and collectors that exudes creativity, imagination and style.
After the Barbie movie, consumer perception of Ken shifted from seeing him as a one-dimensional supporting character to a more complex, comedic, relatable character, sparking renewed interest and cultural relevance for the once-overlooked doll.
