Barbie Fashion Show at the Galeries Lafayette in Paris – from April 6th to April 25th 2009.
Parisian socialites descended upon the Galleries Lafayettes soirée last night for an exclusive glimpse of the 50th Anniversary Barbie collection now on display. The event took place at the “bar a Bulles“. Amongst the sea of chatter and the clic-clack of champagne glasses, Barbie-aficionados discussed the presentation in intricate detail. The energy of the conversations seemed to pick even more volume as party-goers were treat to doll-size hors d’oeuvres, Strawberry Tagada and Marshmallows that filled the numerous Veuve-Cliquot baskets.

attendees jubilantly smiled as they rediscovered their cherished childhood friend. This time, everyone’s favorite poupette was wearing the top designer frocks fresh from this year’s runway shows.
With ready-to-wear and accessories that rivaled even the best fashionista’s closet, Barbie mesmerized everyone with her exquisite designer looks from Diane Von Furstenberg , AF Vandervorst, Karl Lagerfeld, Lutz, Carven, Junko Shimada, Emilio Pucci, Zucca, Lesage, Catherine Malandrino, Emanuel Ungaro, Cacharel, Gerard Darel, Marc Le Bihan, Maison Martin Margiela, Popy Moreni, Giambattista Valli and more.
The Diane Von Furstenberg Doll was on the go with her passport (She is a Nomade just like at the DVF Fall Winter fall 09 Show!) with new DVF glasses and a bag saying “Proud To Be a Woman”! We love Diane!

The Giambattista Villa Barbie was wearing a dress that we would see any girl with, we also liked the Malandrino one: the most american french Barbie.
Lutz Barbie was wearing our favorite look from Lutz Fall Winter 2009, The Karl Lagerfeld‘s Barbie’s had the Cabaret Repetto shoes but no fur helmet . The Castelbajac‘s Barbie looked a bit too Martin Margiela inspired while the Ungaro Exteban Cortazar‘s Barbie was all the way Emanuel Ungaro Fall Winter 2009.
