Everyone from Prada, Azzedine Alaia, Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood and Manolo Blahnik have designed items for Barbie and so it’s only fitting that many fashion designers are now flocking to pay homage to the doll in light of her 50th anniversary. Of particular note, it has been revealed that avant garde designer Jeremy Scott and shoe aficionado Christian Louboutin will be designing special celebratory collections. Louboutin will pay his respects via a special collection of Louboutin heels paying homage to the iconic doll and they’ll reportedly be colored Barbie Pantone 219 Pink. The collection of heels are set to debut at a Barbie-inspired runway presentation at New York Fashion Week in February.
