It reminds me when I (Digi K), used to ask my grandmother to make clothes with swatches of cloth she had left for my Barbie dolls. I think that’s when my sense for styling came about. Combining Barbie’s clothes from the shop with tailormade couture made by grandma. Did you actually know that the usage of miniature dolls to show couture was a frequent activity after the second world war? It inspired Louis Vuitton‘s shoe designer Fabrizo Viti, who is himself an enthusiastic collector of dolls…. Watch the video:
We love dolls. Especially Barbie is our old time favorite. But we also like the Karl Lagerfeld Spongebob puppet and the fashionable Liberty dolls. New in the doll house: these haute fashion puppets called The Kouklitas.
Look at what we’ve found on the Colette blog…a real Gabrielle ‘Coco’Chanel lookalike barbie! Why didn’t that one exist 20 years ago?? Instead of dressing mine with Chanel like outfits…Well, at least it initiated my sense of creativity, and obviously some other people’s creativity as well.
There’s more to see on the website of ‘Barbie ma muse‘. Inspired by influential painters, photographers and other artists.
The two most popular women of 2009 became one. What? Yes, we’re not kidding! Look at the picture above and you know what we mean. Lady Gaga sized down… The little Gaga Barbie doll looks very eehm…cute? (No, that’s not a good word for naked boobies covered up with some black tape.) Oke, fierce then! And despite of the fact that we had an overdosis Barbie and Gaga this year, we still love the combination of those two.
Here she is: the first of three Louboutin Barbies. Wouldn’t you just go back in time and play with your Barbies again? Sigh…it’s a girl thing. Barbie made us become the fashionistas we are today. And now she’s wearing Louboutins before we do??
Shoe-god Christian Louboutin has teamed up with Mattel, the maker of Barbie, to create 3 customized dolls. He already created a pink Barbie shoe for her birthday earlier this year.
