Katiana Jimenez

I was a bit indifferent with this Limited Edition Designer Spotlight Barbie designed by Katiana Jimenez and I only bought her because Mum liked her so I guess she had to come live with me!


Barbie's dark brown hair has auburn highlights and is tied in a low side ponytail with a purple velvety flower behind her ear. Her complexion is a creamy brown and she wears gold eyeshadow and deep purple lipstick. I like her gold cuff bracelet, gold hoops beaded earrings and purple nail polish - Barbie is always so colour coordinated!



Barbie's outfit has an Indian feel to it with her gold halter neck top with golden and purple beads at the hem which ties in the back and reveals her midriff (oh to have her abs!). The skirt is an eggplant purple taffeta with pleat detail which opens in the front to reveal a front panel made of pinkish lavender shantung with an Indian inspired golden print hem. Barbie wears purple strappy high heels.

Release date: 2 February 2002
Label: Limited Edition
Mattel price: US$49.98
Ebay price as at May 2012: US$60 - US$150

  1. I happened to like this girl too. Katiana Jimenez is quite known for her exotic fantasies and this doll is a testament to that. The most intriguing part of her ensemble is definitely her skirt. The pleats is very simply and elegantly done. Wonderful choice of colors and lovely skin tone and face paint, very sultry and sexy. I wish they would make the Anemone with this skin tone. Anemone is so weirdly orange..more like the tanorexic mom than a sun kissed Mediterranean beauty...
