This year the fashion world has gone slightly too nuts about the fact that it is Barbie’s 50th birthday. Not least because Barbie is not a real human, but a brand of plastic doll which, in the face of Bratz, most twelve-year-old girls probably think is a lezza. Anyway, 50 designers (Vera Wang, Marchesa, Diane von Furstenberg) have been commissioned to design outfits inspired by the doll, which won’t be too much of a creative stretch considering Barbie is designed to look like a tall thin woman… But hey, these children’s toy people throw good parties and the one at Colette was amazing.
Ger this, Dangerkat from backstage at JC/DC turned out to be Barbie
Karl Lagerfeld turned up and it went nuts. It was like Madonna walking into the room.
