And party they did, everyone from socialites including Peaches Geldof to top notch designers a la Danielle Scutt. The cause, none other than the celebration of one of fashion's greatest icons! Yes, Barbie certainly worked her 50th birthday in style. With an abundance of champagne, pink of course, and a selection of to-die-for miniature cupcakes the 'it' crowd made sure they made an appearance at the new shrine of the plastic princess. The two week pop-up store, dedicated to fashion's highness is inspired by none other than Henry Holland, and takes to the rails in the form of Barbie enthused skater dresses, leggings and trench coats. The curator of this fab line is said to be thinking of taking the pink theme onto his s/s 2010 catwalk collection. If only Barbie herself could have been there, mind the £90,000 Swarovski-studded pink car waiting outside was quite enough!
There's no doubt about it, Barbie is a pop culture phenomenon and her career is hotter than ever! Kenneth Cole proves she's a small doll but still a big deal, he's created a capsule line of quirky slogan tees for all her fans! Can't quite get your hands on the real thing, we've come up with a few catwalk copy's to channell the designers off-beat style.
