What makes Barbie's art the coolest is that every piece carries a piece of her inside it.
That heart is why Barbie was the perfect artist to create the Harley Davidson 115th anniversary eagle that was presented to Harley Davidson in front of thousands that gathered at the celebration.

American Welding Society

Adding Barbie's sculpting expertise to the project was a great way to feature her immense talent. The dedication and tireless hours she spent creating this sculpture are truly commendable.

Beam Suntory

Baker's Bourbon proudly partnered with Barbie in 2023 to commission custom pieces inspired by our single barrel whiskey. Inspired by the craftsmanship of our former distiller, Baker Beam, Barbie created a five piece collection paying homage to our homestead in Kentucky and the pursuit of fine whiskey. We could not have found a better partner to represent our brand's dedication to being unapologetically itself.
