During fashion week, a certain blonde icon takes the cake in her honorary birthday bash. Yes, in honor of Barbie's 50th Anniversary, she starred in a life-sized Bryant Park runway show, full of couture inspired by Barbie girl herself. Every generation of the doll is displayed by a wide array of talented American designers[ Diane von Furstenburg! Donna Karan! Anna Sui!] , all wrapped up in a blonde haired and pink-heeled package. Vintage Barbie[ think 50's-60's cat eye glasses, high ponytail, and black and white graphics], Malibu Barbie[ complete with the on-the-go suitcases, over-sized shades, and glam {faux} fur coats] , and Futuristic Barbie[ all-out in plastic capes and sholder pads, fake lashes, and shiny architectural ensembles] travel through pop culture on the catwalk. And a cute suprise at the end is the icing on this 7-layer birthday cake. The runway bash was inspirational and a fabulous celebration of a cultural style icon for fashionistas beyond America. Check out the whole show, you won't want to miss it, doll-ing!

Thank You! I've always had a fondness for the kitschy barbie doll! When she was brought to the runway, how could I resist not blogging about it!
