The shoe and handbag designer could not have picked a more perfect way to present her vibrantly youthful [candy-colored shoes and bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society). For those girls who still love their Barbies and never stopped playing dress-up, this collection is sure to bring a smile to their faces as it rejoices in the playfulness of fashion. With its mix of Aztec patterning in delightful candy colors, [pop-art speech bubble purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1) and bright plastic beads, it appears to capture the spontaneous style sense of a child not yet affected by fashion rules and inhibitions.
