AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hailing from the Collector’s Request Collection, this Barbie belongs to a series designed specifically for collectors, aimed at reissuing the most requested and the most iconic looks in the brand’s history.
It recreates the 1959 Gay Parisienne, one of the earliest landmark silhouettes in Barbie’s wardrobe. This kind of reissue is not a free interpretation, but a faithful reproduction of an archival look, identified and sought after by collectors.
The face adopts the hallmarks of the early Barbie, with a side glance, red lips and a brown hairstyle in a ponytail with a curled fringe — a key element for vintage Barbie enthusiasts.
The outfit consists of a navy blue polka-dot ball gown, paired with a faux fur stole and a veiled headband, in an aesthetic directly tied to late-1950s fashion.
Collector Barbie from the Collector’s Request Collection, reproduction of the 1959 model “Gay Parisienne.”

Seller's Story
Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together.
It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another.
The project is led by a Belgian-trained antique dealer with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies art history and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value.
We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge:
— Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues.
— Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time.
Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
