Barbie X Jenna Clifford: 65 Years of Inspiration, Creativity and Self-Expression
Written by: Renate Engelbrecht
An exclusive collection, blending Jenna Clifford’s signature boldness with Barbie’s timeless style, has just been launched at Jenna Clifford’s private design studio in Morningside. At the launch event, invitees were all impeccably dressed in either pink, black or white, eager to explore the newly launched Barbie X Jenna Clifford collection.
A range of glittering jewellery items inspired by Barbie were displayed on velvet stands, inviting guests to stand a little closer and take it all in. And, as those in attendance walked through the studio – bubbly in hand – one thing was clear: The collaboration between Barbie and Jenna Clifford could not have been a better fit.
Essentially, the range speaks to innovation, with each piece telling a story of courage, beauty and heritage. In fact, it’s been crafted not only to be worn, but to become part of your story – just like we all have a Barbie story to tell. And, as with many Barbies having been passed down through generations, these jewellery pieces are bound to become keepsakes, destined to be cherished and passed through from one generation to the next.
A Special Collection with Family at its Core
Ultimately, the Barbie X Jenna Clifford Collection merges Barbie’s legacy of inclusion and empowerment with Jenna Clifford’s enduring dedication for bold, bespoke jewellery design. Hence, through this limited range, the wearer gets to celebrate authentic expression and make it their own.
What makes this collection even more special, is that Jenna Clifford designed this collection together with her two youngest daughters, Chanelle and Summer. She encourages her daughters to walk in her footsteps and create pieces that challenge the narrative. Items that transcend trends and that tell meaningful stories that will impact the lives of others in a positive way. Therefore, the Barbie X Jenna Clifford collection reflects the core values of empowerment, individuality and to inspire people to dream bigger.
Jenna Clifford’s Barbie-inspired designs are playful, yet timeless, embodying the spirit of fearless originality and classic elegance. Only a few of each item will ever be made, which makes it a unique addition to anyone’s personal jewellery collection. In addition to the universal theme of making the jewellery part of your own story, Jenna Clifford has done exactly the same. She drew inspiration from her signature carré diamond setting and her experiences gathered over 65 years. Her unique story of resilience, the power of her own dreams and legacy she is shaping through her daughters are part of what makes the collection so relatable and special.
Buying Barbie X Jenna Clifford Means Supporting Local
Of course, having been designed and made in South Africa, investing in a piece or two from this collection is a no-brainer. It not only celebrates local artisans, a rich family legacy and creativity, but also dreams that connect generations.
The pieces are now available for purchase as made-to-order items both online and at Jenna Clifford’s three design studios.
It’s a legacy to buy into. It’s where dreams meet diamonds.
