Jean-Louis Sabaji to debut Barbie fashion collection at Arab Fashion Week 2022

Fashion brand Jean-Louis Sabaji has teamed up with Mattel and the Arab Fashion Council to launch a Barbie-inspired collection.

The range will debut at Dubai Design District on October 10th during Arab Fashion Week.

“My first experience with fashion was dressing a Barbie doll, and collaborating with them on a full collection will definitely be the highlight of my career,” said Jean-Louis Sabaji.

Ruth Henriquez, Head of Consumer Products at Mattel EMEA, added: “Barbie is a brand rooted in culture with fashion at its core, continuously inspired and inspiring the fashion community around us.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Arab Fashion Council once again in this important region and to collaborate with Jean-Louis Sabajis. We are excited to see his creative vision recognised in the upcoming collection.”
