Naomi Osaka Barbie is here! What inspires me most about Naomi is how she uses her platform. We stan a queen that wears masks in support of Black Lives Matter on the court, a queen that prioritizes her own mental health over the media system👑🙌🏽.
I worked on the Naomi Barbie OOAK back in 2019, so I’m honored to have worked with the team again to bring a Naomi Barbie to mass production so fans of her can have one! This was during the middle of the global panini, so we were all working from home. We even did a Zoom call with Naomi once! We recreated what she wore during the 2020 Australian Open; a @nike outfit and a @yonex_usa tennis racket. Nike sent us the dress to examine and recreate the binding, the mesh inserts, the brush stroke print, all of it. They also sent us shoes that we could paint gray, digitally scan and miniaturize in Barbie scale, keeping all the details of the shoe design. Yonex also sent us a sample racket for us to digitally scan. Naomi wanted her Barbie to have her golden ombré hair and pearl earrings, so that’s what she got. 💖
