Barbie is celebrating her 50th birthday! Not only does she look fab for her age but as part of her birthday celebrations she is going to receive the Christian Louboutin treatment! (SO LUCKY!)
I don't know about you, but Barbie has always held special place in my heart. Although I am not a collector, I vividly recall the days when my sister and I spent countless hours turning my mother's bookshelf into a 5-level high rise penthouse apartment house for our beloved Barbie dolls. Every once in a while, I stop in F.A.O Schwarz at The Grove in Los Angeles to browse their Barbie section, complete with Barbie decked out in the latest gowns that shame the best red carpet attire to date.
One thing is for sure, if you are a glam-ista you can certainly learn a thing or two about putting your look together from this 50 year old icon. She is the ultimate fashionista... who else besides Barbie can summon top designers from across the globe who vie for her to wear their latest creations in typical Barbie style. In fact, more than 70 high profile designers have had the coveted opportunity to design for her over the years.
In February the Toy Fair will come to NYC and I plan to follow along as they display some of the latest Barbie fashions. In the meantime, check out some of the things Barbie had designers create just for her over the years:
1997 Dior Barbie
2001 Burberry Barbie
2003 Armani Barbie
2007 Reem Acra Barbie
2008 Vera Wang Barbie (her second Vera Wang gown in a decade)
And here she is wearing FIVE Christian Louboutin designs (SWOON!)
