This shoot was for the Barbie Collector line of dolls, and the outfit was designed by Robert Best (the goatee’d guy with the racing gloves) who was on Project Runway. Dolls like this retail from $75-$150 and are highly collectible. Not your usual pink box doll from Wal*Mart.

@Donnie: Yes. People do still buy Barbie dolls, especially the high-end collectible ones. My Mom left a basement full of Bob Mackie Barbies when she passed away. If I ever get around to selling them, I might have to pull a trick or two from this video. JJ Casas was talking about the brand of Barbie, and all you have to know is that Barbie has been a powerful symbol for women for 50+ years. Where there’s a market, there’s a way.

All for one photo? That is ridiculous and seriously extravagant. Do people even buy Barbie dolls anymore?

Wow, incredible. So much work must go into each shot, building a believable scene from scratch. I wonder how many people were evolved in the production? A few or many?

That is intense. Some may say “Wow! All for THAT?!” but I understand. Barbie is a major brand for Mattel and I think attention to detail like this [with all the hard work attached to it] is necessary to produce the best imagery for this brand. I’d say it’s no different than selling a soda can or shoes.
