Winter in Montreal


I was rather indifferent about this doll when first purchased, but I've grown to appreciate the quality and detail of this Winter in Montreal Barbie from the City Seasons Collection. Like Winter Concert Barbie, this doll looks fantastic in red!


Barbie wears a faux leopard print fur hat with a matching hand muff. Her short black bobbed hair is perfectly styled (Barbie has used way too much product because her hair isn't going to move...ever) and her blue eyes and red lips are striking. She wears a sheer, sleeveless leopard skin blouse with gold buttons, under a red A-line swing coat with black fringe shawl collar. A matching slim skirt and a gold buckle, black vinyl belt pairs perfectly with her black gloves and patent leather ankle boots. Barbie looks stylish and sophisticated, and I wished I make such an effort to dress up in winter!

Release date: 1 January 1999
Mattel price: US$49.98
Label: Collector Edition
Ebay price as at May 2012: US$25 - US$80
