Barbie to celebrate 50th anniversary in style thanks to Mattel

Every little girl’s favorite toy had to be the Barbie doll. She shared our joys and our sorrows and some of us preserve and collect this iconic doll even today. So for all those who never managed to get over this beauty, here is a great piece of news. Mattel has announced that as part of the iconic doll's 50th anniversary celebrations, it will enlist the help of 50 designers to create life-sized outfits for women inspired by Barbie. And if reports are to be believed designers Vera Wang and Jeremy Scott are already roped in by Mattel. That’s not all, Wang plans to design a Barbie inspired wedding dress for adults along with a miniature one for the doll. This amazing line of designer wear will be unveiled in February at the New York fashion week. Mattel who has also signed a three-year partnership deal with Council Of Fashion Designers Of America (CFDA) will be sponsoring this prestigious event. Mattel is definitely not satisfied with all this and has plans to launch a Barbie Makeup line sometime next year, and also open House Of Barbie in Shanghai.
