Oh...that Barbie!



















































Here is a little fashion show celebrating 50 years of CFDA - Counsel of Fashion Designers of America - with run-way style that teases and tempts the imagination with several high-fashion designers that have once again dressed Barbie to sparkle, shine, dance, travel and oh yes, tie the knot.

The Barbie doll was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler (co-founder of Mattel), whose own daughter was named Barbara. Barbie was introduced to the world at the American Toy Fair in New York City. Barbie's job was and remains a teenage fashion doll.


A pretty little plastic doll which came to life through a couture sense of style brought an attitude of culture, elegance and social grace into every little girl’s heart; and then along came Ken. Exhibition located at: Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology
