"It was really cool to work with Mattel's designers and my own team, using styles and themes inspired by my own stuff by hilary duff 'tween fashion label to create a fashion collection for Barbie[R]. I've always been a big fan of Barbie[R] - she's the most fashionable doll in the world and so many top fashion designers have designed for her. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to lend my own ideas and design inspirations to Barbie[R] doll's look and I know girls are going to love it!" said Hilary.

"Barbie[R] and Hilary are the perfect design duo," said Jamie Wood, vice president, Barbie Marketing, Mattel Brands. "Not only are Barbie[R] and Hilary two of the most stylish entertainers, actors and fashion designers, but they also show girls that there are no limits to what they can do."
