Designers Show Their Love for Barbie at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with First-Ever Runway Show to Celebrate 50 Years as a Global Fashion Icon 50 of Fashion's Top Designers Salute Barbie Doll's Iconic Past, Present and Future Style with One-of-a-Kind Looks Created with Barbie as their Muse

While these were all runway ready looks, I would absolutely wear everything diplayed below. umm well maybe not the ruffle socks. (-: Here are some of my favorite looks.

I think this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I love the shade of green and I think the shape is awesome. Betsey Johnson is always one of my favorite designers.

I ADORE BabyPhat its always over the top. I love this look, It reimnds me of the Kimora Lee Simmons Barbie. I really like the makeup which I will provide you information about further down. And, what Barbie is complete without her fur.

This look is from Diane Von Furstenberg. The queen of wrap dresses and I'm sure you can see why. The fit is great, the shade of pink is perfect, and the fabric moves with you. This barbie is ready to take flight.

Fifty of the top American designers agreed to make a special dress for this special occasion and the show was like no other! Real-size Barbie dolls walked the runway in looks inspired by Barbies of the past, present and future. Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Diane Von Furstenberg, Marchesa, Vera Wang, Patricia Field and The Blonds were among Barbie's couturiers, playing with pink of all shades and shapes.

Christian Louboutin designed the hot pink pumps (Pantone 219 Pink) and stated, "Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes." LOVE LOVE LOVE Okay, so you've seen the clothes, you've seen the shoes, now for the makeup. Here are the face charts and video for the Barbie Runway Show. The looks were created by the Stila Pro Artistry Team. The products are available at beauty.com. The charts represent the past, present, and futuristic looks of Barbie.

Excuse my tardiness with this, I should have been all over it. Stila has a Barbie collection out and its available in Sephora! These Stila Barbie cans very cute idea, and contain everything you need to achieve the barbie look for about $40.The Barbie Loves Stila Collection consists of four separate gift sets and one brand new Stila Barbie Talking Palette Eye Shadow Quad I think I'm going check the line out this week, probably Malibu Barbie and let you know what I think of it. In the meantime here are some photos....

  1. Barbie continues to be a genius toy, especially since girls like to imagine themselves grown up and Barbie helps them do that
