In a Barbie World

Happy Birthday Barbie! Though I am not quite your Barbie girl- never really was a fan as a youngin- I do love the looks designed for Barbie's 50th Anniversary show at Fashion Week. A mix of fun and fantasy, designers really had a good time with this one. Here are some of my favorites...

"Barbie represents a confident and independent woman with an amazing ability to have fun while remaining glamorous." -Diane von Furstenburg
