Berluti and Mattel have joined forces to celebrate the one that is never far from Barbie‘s side. Berluti reimagines the 21st century Ken doll that fits the modern, stylish and diverse representation of this era.

The project features three one-of-a-kinds Ken dolls, all of which are developed by Berluti’s own creative director, Kris Van Assche. Each figurine is dressed in Berluti x Brian Rochefort collection looks including sporting a brown leather jacket paired with a short-sleeved printed silk shirt, elastic trousers and braided calf leather Camden shoes. Another doll is dressed in a Prince of Wales double-breasted suit with a co-branded Ken and Berluti logo tee, printed shirt and black trousers. A miniature version of the Nino clutch and Berluti beach buggy manufactured by Hot Wheels in 2020 are also a part of the capsule.

Alongside the figurines, Berluti has launched a mini-capsule collection that features two dedicated apparel items including a tee and the Nino clutch that displays both Berluti and Ken’s interlaced logos. The clutch is one of Berluti’s most iconic leather pieces and both pieces are currently available online and at all Berluti stores across the U.S., France, China and Japan.

The three Ken dolls will be digitally auctioned at Drouot between May 28 and 30, with all proceeds going to the children’s charity, Make-A-Wish.
