Christian Louboutin x Barbie

When I was little, I literally had drawfuls of Barbies and her accesories. I loved her, and my parents supported my obsession as long as I kept straight A’s in school. I shedded my uber-girly skin a while ago, but the news that Louboutin was remaking her shoes still excited me. Apparently Christian himself with act as her godfather for the year, not only re-creating her wardrobe, but her lifestyle as well.

According to WWD, “The project includes the Barbie-pink, red-soled Louboutin shoes that premiered in Barbie’s birthday runway show during New York Fashion Week in February, a Barbie doll and accessories collection customized by the designer and a diary filled with images of Louboutin and Barbie as they explore the cobbler’s favorite things…The three dolls, packaged in Louboutin shoe boxes, each come with four pairs of Barbie-size Louboutin heels. In December, Mattel will unveil Louboutin’s jewel thief-themed Barbie; in February, it will add a safari-themed Barbie, and for May, Louboutin designed a Barbie that goes to the Cannes Film Festival. The $150 dolls will be sold through BarbieCollector.com and at Net-a-porter.com, which is Mattel’s exclusive partner for this project and will be selling dolls for the first time. In September, both sites also will offer a Christian Louboutin Barbie shoe collection of 12 pairs for $40 a set.”

I don’t forsee myself buying one of these Barbie’s, but they do sound awesome.
