The Barbie 50th Anniversary show was epic. So much buzz, held on the very amorous February 14th in the main tents at Bryant Park, featuring outfits from 52 of the biggest designers in fashion, including Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg, Derek Lam, Calvin Klein, Anna Sui and more. So many people turned up that numerous media guests were turned away at the door – including, we heard, producers from Fox who were scheduled to interview the President of Mattel the following afternoon. Yikes.
Kris got an amazing spot in the pit, as you can see from the photos, while Shallom and I hung out out at our table in the Tenjune Lounge inside the tents, where the show was being streamed live. We were able to see the designs in much better detail and we were twittering like mad throughout the lengthy show.
Immediately I looked to the shoes. I knew that Christian Louboutin had designed the hot pink Barbie pumps, but had had no sneak peek – they were amazing. We just about died.
The show was presented in three parts: Classic, Current, and Future. Each had different hair and makeup, and obviously the tone of the designs differed greatly.
Classic Barbie:
Yigal Azrouel
Lyn Devon
Tracy Reese
Current Barbie:
Rag and Bone
ThreeAsFour
Juicy Couture
Alexander Wang
Kenneth Cole…KEN!!!
Future Barbie:
Tibi
Badgley Mischka
Awesome! I knew it would be interesting.
Other than the Jason Wu show, everyone kept talking about the Barbie Anniversary show. I love love love the Rag & Bone outfit.
Wow, some of those models really look like Barbie.
wow. they all look like dolls. which perhaps is very fitting for the situation.
my favorite was the first outfit by Yigal Azrouel. and my secret obsession is ankle socks with peek-a-toe red heels. yum yum.
Wow,Barbie!
I saw Shallom’s tweets about the Barbie show but ohhh these are beautiful! I love Barbie
