Fashion is So Plastic

barbies cheeks must hurt by now.jpgDetails of that post-Fashion Week collaboration between Barbie and Jeremy Scott are finally out via NYLON, in case you forgot that Barbie’s getting her own show this coming Fashion Week (which is being heavily sponsored by Mattel), in celebration of the doll’s 50th birthday.

Jeremy’s portion of the Barbie runway show (which will also include doll-inspired designs by Alexander Wang, Vera Wang, and more) will be available for purchase at Colette starting March 12th.

So if you’ve always dreamed of Barbie’s clothes being big enough for you to fit into, you’re weirdly in luck.

Relatedly, will it be awkward for the CFDA to set up their health booth amidst the Barbie sponsorship orgy?

my 5 year old son wants to know if the models in show will be barbie dolls or barbie humans.

barbie barbie barbie.what a doll.from escort to renaisance woman she was my 1st model tho I have to say my 60's Francie from older cousins with the Leather Tuscadero shag had a better modelling figure .Barbie is a bit too curvy for the making of her clothes.Francie is easier to fit.or Skipper for that matter but they all taught this 8 year old budding designer a thing or 2 about clothes(gold lame/fur trimmed suit to clothes made out of balloons) and about cut... other wise known as how to keep the tatas covered.
