BARBIE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF FABULOUSITY


"On February 14th, Barbie's very first runway show hit the stage in Bryant Park. For this history-making occasion, over 50 designers from Diane von Furstenberg to Calvin Klein to Vera Wang created couture tributes to highlight the timelessness of fashion's most fabulous icon.

The show was divided into three thrilling acts: Barbie's past fashions reinterpreted, Barbie's current look as seen through the designers' lens, and the future of fashion imagined.

Each look was totally unique to its individual designer, but all of it was undeniably Barbie™. Cat-eye glasses, poufy prom dresses, lots of hot pink and big hair ruled the stage. To top it off, every outfit was completed with sky-high, strappy Christian Louboutin's, specially designed for the show in Barbie's signature pantone pink.

The hottest moment? For the show's finale, all 51 stunning models strutted back onto the catwalk holding hands with a young Barbie™ Girl who waved back to the cheering audience.

The celebrity-studded event was attended by Heidi Klum, Devyn Simone, Catherine Malandrino, Diane Von Furstenberg, Kimora Lee Simmons, Jonathan Adler, Annie Leibovitz and Bob Mackie, just to name a few."
