There’s an air of timelessness to Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and, according to the film’s production designer, costume designer and set decorator, that’s all intentional. “We weren’t recreating a dream house, we were making our dream house for our movie,” production designer Sarah Greenwood said in the latest episode of TheWrap’s How I Did It, presented by Warner Bros.

As Greenwood said, fans may feel they had a Barbie Dreamhouse exactly like the one Margot Robbie’s Barbie lives in within the movie, but that’s not possible because of how Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer mixed and matched elements from the Mattel toyline’s past. It’s really a cherry-picking of all the various eras of the famous doll.

The team had the entire history of Barbie to work with and, as costume designer Jacqueline Durran has spoken about before, that required everyone to explore that history through a child’s lens.

“I wanted to make it multidimensional so that you could look at it [as a] child; the child would just enjoy it from a point of view of colors, but there was something else going on if you wanted to look at it [deeper],” Durran said while adding that the entire concept of “Barbie” was “very funny because I had no idea where it would lead us.”
