Kamilla Akhmin · BARBI & BOBY
Barbi & Boby
Always by your side.
One woman. One dog. An unmistakable pair.
The energy of the city meets the comfort of belonging in this colourful character world. It begins with a pop-art portrait and continues through everyday objects, textiles and figurines.
The idea behind the collection
Your closest companion may need no words.
Who comes to mind when you hear “always by your side”?
Barbi brings the rhythm of the city: a black outfit, geometric headband, sunglasses and a flash of hot pink. Boby, the bull terrier, brings a quiet closeness: an attentive gaze and a familiar place beside her.
The playfulness of fashion meets the warmth of the human–dog bond. An ivory, black, hot pink and cobalt blue palette connects the portrait with its abstract companion patterns.
An imagined moment in Barbi and Boby’s world
Barbi looked over her to-do list one more time. Boby sat by the door, then turned towards her. He wasn’t hurrying her. He was simply there, as always.
At the end of their walk, they stopped at their usual bench. Barbi drew Boby close, and the city suddenly sounded further away. A few things on the list were still unfinished. This moment, though, felt complete.
A fictional scene written for the collection.
