The Barbies of Juicy Couture

It was a match made in heaven.

Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash Taylor, the founders of Juicy Couture, the multimillion-dollar Los Angeles-based fashion line built on the notion that pink is the new black, have joined forces with Barbie. Unlike the other Mattel-designer collaborations, in which Barbie met up with Bill Blass, Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani and came out looking a little too, well, New York to be Barbie, this one has produced a scarily accurate pop culture artifact.

This time around, Mattel completely remodeled Barbie after the Juicy Couture partners and issued two dolls, one of each woman. And it got the details right, down to their hair (Ms. Skaist-Levy, blond; Ms. Taylor, brunet with blond streaks), their matching Chihuahuas (Bob and Tinkerbell), the armload of shopping bags and the surfeit of diamonds.

"It was a surreal dream come true," said Ms. Skaist-Levy, who grew up in Los Angeles and now, like Barbie, has a Malibu address. "We couldn't stop laughing when we finally saw them." Ms. Taylor said she had not laughed so hard since the day she saw the 1980's doll made of her husband, the Duran Duran bass player John Taylor.

Not that the dolls capture everything. "We have so much stuff," Ms. Skaist-Levy said. "Ours really should be obsessive-compulsive Barbie and come with a closet just spilling out with Juicy and Hermès and accessories." The Juicy Barbies' lunatic materialism is tempered by the fact that their proceeds from the dolls, which sell for $100 each, will go to two children's charities.
