The allure of the Barbie doll has been called an example of 'cult- ure.' In this lavishly-illustrated, bilingual catalog for an exhibit at the Pitti Bimbo (children's fashion trade show), the Minister of Fashion of Florence, Italy, explains the concept of interpreting the trend-setting Renaissance court of Caterina de' Medici through this feminine icon. The construction of period costumes worn by Barbie for this special exhibit are described. The petite volume includes a bibliography. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
