In order to get readers ready for the summer, a new Flaunt campaign was devised that draws inspiration from the classic hot pink-loving Barbie and the fantastical world she dwells in.
The Flaunt Campaign features 19-year-old socialite Kylie Jenner, who assumes the role of Barbie by sporting a long blonde wig, bright pink makeup, and the kind of apparel that the doll would be seen laying around the pool and at home in. This includes form-fitting Juicy Couture sweatpants, a shiny one-piece bathing suit, a sporty two-piece version, an ensemble that consists of a baby blue peasant top and short shorts, and a revealing crop top and undergarment combination.
To make the poolside inspiration clear, the new Flaunt Campaign, lensed by photographer Brendan Forbes was dubbed 'So Many Margaritas, So Little Time.'
