Barbie gets a new look thanks to Beyoncé's stylist Zerina Akers barbie Beyoncé Zerina Akers
Zerina Akers is most known for working with Beyoncé for the film Black is King that drove her to the peak of her career scoring her an Emmy in costume design. Her work in Black is King incorporated elements of African culture with a modern look of female black power that adds uniqueness to the style and history behind the designs. Akers, an Emmy winner, wardrobe curator, and costume designer is now pairing up with Barbie, launching the release of her new line of female black dolls.
This new line is in celebration of Black History Month and is just one more stepping stone toward creating space to showcase artists that continue to influence today’s generation. Akers commented on her recent collab on Instagram saying “I was inspired by solidarity amongst women, and celebrating our differences as Black women. We are not a monolith, we are so many things, and encompass so many things through our style”. And we can’t overlook her brand Black Owned Everything, founded in 2020.
In the launch of the new collab with Barbie, one doll gave masculine and androgynous energy while showcasing a sweatpants and jogger set that can be bought on her website. The set is in dark black with the Black Owned Everything logo on both fronts of the set styled with neon green sneakers. And to top it all off, the doll’s hairstyle is buzzed with her ends laid out. She brings light to female masculinity and how often it is overlooked in media.
