LIFE SIZE//

Barbie's dope.
You already knew that though.

Not only has she influenced MAC make-up, but now she's making it known that she isn't just a toy-store doll, she's a designer doll.

(I accidentally mentioned in my last post about Barbie that there would be 50 designers on hand...when really, it is 50 different outfits by top designers. Also, Marchesa, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Betsey Johnson will be displaying their dresses at New York Fashion Week on Saturday along with the 50 different outfits. Betsey, an over-the-top green party dress; Diane, a hot-pink wrap dress; Marchesa, a glitz & glamour gown.)

Anyhow, here are a few sketches based on Barbie's glamorous character that will be displayed in Bloomingdale's flagship store.
(Sorry ladies, display only, not for sale.)
(BTW, Nicole Miller for Barbie, to your left)

COLLABO!//


Abraxas Rex (Paris Kain) for Alexander Wang.

Inspiration comes from Tina Turner's wardrobe and jewelry fixes for the "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," film.

Priced $350-$975.

The picture above is a cuff from the line.

They will also be producing earring designs. (Possibly re-producing the gigantic coiled baubles Tina wore, as in the picture below?)

Dammit, Alex, create something for us men, because we adore what you do for the females.


Also, due to the recent Barbie 50th birthday, there will be 50 designers on hand to re-create adult-sized creations inspired by Ms. B herself.

Guess who?

Alexander Wang, Kimora Lee Simmons (predicting something flashy and horrendous), Tory Burch (YAY!), Calvin Klein, Bob Mackie (Still can't get over the disgusting Mackie perfume), Vera Wang, Donna Karan, and the truly fantastic, Diane Von Furstenberg.

Presentations will be displayed on...

VALENTINE'S DAY ♥
