Following the popularity of the “Barbie” movie this summer and high-grossing world tours of artists such as Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, 2023 is shaping up to be a year of celebrating the importance of and demand for content centering women.

No matter your gender, anyone can appreciate the powerful message behind “Barbie” – invented by the late Ruth Handler, a Jewish woman who was inspired by her daughter, Barbara, to create the doll.

So, Jstyle jumped on the bandwagon and for this fall/winter issue, we created an all-women photo shoot with a hint of Barbie pink integrated throughout.

Thanks to Beechmont Country Club – the location of the photo shoot and fittingly celebrating its 100th anniversary this year – and the local fashion boutiques with which Jstyle partners, our models are dressed fashionably for the seasonal shift (and Barbie Land).
